As we age, it is quite common to experience hormone imbalances that can lead to a myriad of health issues, such as weight gain, insomnia, decreased libido, and fatigue. If you’ve been feeling out of sorts lately, it might not just be the hustle and bustle of life that’s wearing you down but a hormonal imbalance playing tricks on your body. That’s where Biote hormone replacement therapy can help. Let’s take a look at this life-changing treatment that has helped so many people at Thrive Wellness + Aesthetics.
What is Biote?
Biote is a hormone replacement therapy that uses bio-identical hormones to supplement those that your body is no longer making in sufficient amounts. These hormones are plant-based and designed to chemically match your body’s existing hormones perfectly, which leads to better absorption and fewer side effects than their synthetic counterparts.
Biote hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves pellets, which are custom-compounded to match your body’s specific hormonal needs and are available in different strengths. Nurse Practitioner Dana Protomastro and her team at Thrive Wellness + Aesthetics will create a tailored plan that’s right for you, promising personalized care and attention.
Who is a Good Candidate for Biote?
Anyone with a hormonal imbalance can be a good candidate for Biote, but there are some criteria we typically look for when determining if Biote is the right treatment option. These criteria include:
- Menopausal women struggling with symptoms
- Men with low testosterone
- Individuals struggling with hormone fluctuations
Estrogen pellets are typically good for women suffering from symptoms of menopause, while testosterone pellets are perfect for men experiencing weight gain, loss of muscle mass, or other symptoms of low testosterone.
What to Expect from Biote HRT
Biote hormone replacement therapy is a relatively straightforward process. It will start with a blood test. Once we receive the results of your blood test and the extent of your hormonal imbalance, we’ll build a Biote treatment plan that’s customized to your needs. From there, Dana Protomastro will make a small incision near your hip and insert the pellet.
After the insertion, you can go back to most of your normal activities. It typically takes about four weeks to feel the full effects. One pellet lasts 3-5 months, and once all the hormones have been absorbed, we’ll insert a new one.
