Hormones affect almost every aspect of our physiology. From how well our organs function to how fast our metabolism runs. Endocrine glands secrete the hormones that control how our bodies operate. Unfortunately, our glands can malfunction as we age, increasing stress on other parts of our bodies.

While our bodies are designed to produce hormones, it becomes necessary to supplement those hormones to maintain proper function as we age. BHRT helps restore our hormone levels, improving our bodies’ feelings and functions.

What Is Biote?

Biote therapy optimizes the endocrine system using bioidentical hormone pellets. Bioidentical hormones are very similar to our naturally produced hormones. The main difference is that these are made in a laboratory from plant compounds instead of our bodies. These bioidentical hormones are commonly used to treat impaired estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production.

We often think of hormones as “gender specific”, testosterone for men and estrogen for women. Actually, both hormones are produced by men and women.  When deficient in either of them, various symptoms can occur, including increased fatigue, decreases in sex drive, and “brain fog.”

Biote therapy supplements the body’s endocrine system with hormones that it no longer produces enough or may not produce.
