What Is BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy?
BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy is a personalized hormone replacement treatment that uses bioidentical estradiol and testosterone to help restore hormonal balance and support overall wellness. Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces, allowing them to work in harmony with your system and support more consistent, natural-feeling results.
With pellet therapy, small hormone pellets are placed just beneath the skin, where they slowly release hormones over time to maintain steady, balanced levels throughout the day.
Pellet therapy is often chosen for its convenience and consistency, while other options provide flexibility and adjustability—our focus is always on choosing the method that best supports your health and long-term well-being.
Feel more Vitality
Balanced estradiol and testosterone levels help support sustained energy and vitality, reducing persistent fatigue and supporting better stamina throughout the day.
Emotional balance
Hormone optimization helps stabilize mood, ease irritability, and support emotional well-being, helping you feel more even-keeled, focused, and resilient.
Weight Management
Healthy hormone levels play a key role in metabolic function, helping support weight management, lean muscle maintenance, and overall body composition.
Signs of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalances are more common than many people realize and can affect both women and men at different stages of life. Changes in hormone levels don’t always happen suddenly—instead, they often develop gradually, making symptoms easy to overlook or dismiss as stress, aging, or lifestyle-related.
Many people experience persistent fatigue or low energy, even after adequate rest, along with mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or feeling emotionally off-balance. Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits can also be linked to hormonal shifts. Other common signs include low libido or changes in sexual function, poor sleep or insomnia, and brain fog, which may show up as trouble concentrating, memory issues, or mental fatigue. Because these symptoms can overlap with other conditions, proper lab testing and a comprehensive evaluation are essential.
BioTE Hormone Therapy During Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the phase before menopause, and for many women, it can feel emotionally draining.
As hormones rise and fall unpredictably, it’s common to experience mood swings, irritability, poor sleep, night sweats, low energy, and a general feeling of being “off.” These changes are normal—but that doesn’t mean you have to struggle through them.
During perimenopause, the goal of hormone therapy is gentle balance. Because the ovaries may still produce fluctuating levels of estrogen, treatment often focuses on progesterone and low-dose testosterone rather than adding estradiol too early. Progesterone can help support restful sleep and a calmer mood, while testosterone plays an important role in energy, confidence, and libido. With proper lab testing and personalized care, BioTE Hormone Therapy is designed to help you move through perimenopause more smoothly—so you can feel like yourself again as your body transitions toward menopause.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BioTE Hormone Therapy?
BioTE Hormone Therapy may be a great option for women but also for men experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as low energy, mood changes, weight concerns, sleep issues, or changes in libido. It’s often chosen by adults who are looking for a more natural, long-term approach to hormone support that works with the body rather than against it.
This therapy is also well suited for patients who prefer consistent hormone support without the ups and downs that can come with daily or weekly dosing. Because hormone needs are highly individual, all treatment begins with medical screening, lab testing, and a personalized consultation to ensure BioTE is safe and appropriate for you. If it’s not the right fit, other hormone therapy options can be explored—your care is always guided by what works best for your body and lifestyle.
Starting BioTE Therapy
Your BioTE journey begins with an initial consultation and lab testing, where we take the time to understand your symptoms, health history, and hormone levels. This step is essential to identifying imbalances and ensuring hormone therapy is both safe and appropriate for your body.
Based on your results, a personalized treatment plan is created to support your unique needs and wellness goals. If pellet therapy is recommended, the in-office insertion is quick, minimally invasive, and typically completed in just a few minutes. After treatment, we focus on ongoing monitoring and follow-ups to track how your body responds, check hormone levels, and make any necessary adjustments over time. Our goal is to support long-term balance, comfort, and results that feel natural and sustainable.
