Therapy (BHRT) and Nutraceuticals
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce. Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function – such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more.
When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms, using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.
The Biote Method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The Biote Method of hormone optimization is the result of condensing more than 80 years of scientific research into a program that may help alleviate some the earliest complications of aging.
The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone optimization. Dr. Frankel inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure, where they will then dissolve slowly over time and release a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream, ultimately leaving nothing behind.
