BioTe Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy for fatigue, weight gain, low sex drive, and mood changes.

Just because you age does not mean you have to feel bad. BioTe hormone therapy uses bioidentical hormone pellets — derived from the steroid ring of yam or soy plants — to help balance your hormones. The pellets are placed under the skin and release physiologic doses of hormones as your body needs them, with no "roller-coaster effect." Relief from fatigue, difficulty sleeping, reduced mental focus, weight gain, reduced sexual desire, and mood changes can help you age healthier and live happier. Studies have shown that optimized hormones can reduce the risk of age-related health issues such as osteoporosis and diabetes. This method has been used since 1939 and is one of the most effective forms of hormone replacement available.
