What Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

The primary goal of BioTe Medical is to help men balance their male hormones. A hormonal imbalance can occur at any point in a man’s life—even in his early 30s. Symptoms can be brought on by stress, an acute injury, illness, poor nutrition, inadequate exercise, and a host of other factors. Having too much or too little of just one hormone can have ramifications throughout the body, so it’s important to know the indicators of male hormone imbalance, such as low testosterone.

Testosterone replacement therapy can be used as gels, patches, gum and check, nasal, injection, or implantable pellets. Bioidentical pellet hormones (different from injectable synthetic) closely resemble the molecular structure of human hormones.

The BioTe method of hormone therapy provides a consistent release of Testosterone in the bloodstream. Pellets used for biomedical hormone replacement (BHRT) are inserted under the skin in the upper buttocks to balance hormones in men.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy aims to treat the source of the problem (low Testosterone levels), not just the symptoms.

What are the symptoms of low testosterone?

The most common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men are often disregarded until they impact the quality of life so severely that treatment is aggressively sought out. Some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men include:

  • Brain Fog
  • Low Mood
  • Low Energy
  • Anxiousness
  • Weight Gain
  • Sleeplessness
  • Elevated Blood Sugar
  • Decreased Bone Density
  • Abnormal Heart Conditions
