Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in the body.

Unlike conventional hormone replacement methods, bioidentical therapy utilizes hormones that resemble those naturally produced by the body, derived from plant sources.

The Biote Method of pellet therapy is a treatment aimed at balancing hormones in patients, and initial improvements may be noticed as soon as four weeks after beginning the therapy. For complete hormone optimization, the procedure might require up to six months.

These hormones play crucial roles in various bodily functions, including:

Metabolism and weight gain
Brain function
Sex drive and sexual function
Sleep cycle
Menstrual cycle

An imbalance in these hormones can manifest in a range of unexpected symptoms, impacting overall well-being.

Hormone testing can help identify any imbalances, guiding the suitability of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy as an effective treatment option.

Conditions Treated by Bioidentical Hormone Replacement

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy effectively balances hormones in both men and women, addressing specific issues unique to each gender.

Estrogen Hormone Replacement for Women

Bioidentical estrogen supplements the decline in estrogen levels that occurs during menopause in women. Symptoms of estrogen loss may include fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness.

Testosterone Hormone Replacement for Men and Women

Testosterone therapy is utilized for both men and women. Men experiencing low testosterone levels may exhibit symptoms such as low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, and irritability. Women may benefit from bioidentical testosterone for improved energy, motivation, confidence, and libido.

Bioidentical hormone replacement with testosterone pellets can help restore hormonal balance, alleviating these symptoms effectively. Typical symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, muscle weakness, reduced sex drive, night sweats, and belly area weight gain.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Procedure in Temecula

At IgniteRx Medical, Dr. Marquette conducts a thorough consultation to assess symptoms consistent with hormone imbalance. If deemed suitable, patients undergo a minor in-office procedure. Local anesthesia ensures comfort during a small incision in the upper buttock or love handle area for the insertion of Biote® bioidentical hormone pellets. These pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, gradually release hormones into the bloodstream. Symptom relief typically occurs within a few weeks, though individual responses vary.

The Pellet Therapy Process

As you approach menopause, your estrogen levels decrease. Common symptoms from estrogen loss include fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness. Testosterone is used in both men and women.

Men with low testosterone can get various symptoms from their hormone imbalance, including low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, and irritability. Bioidentical testosterone is used for women as well, to provide improved energy, motivation, confidence, and libido.

If you come in for a consultation at IgniteRx Medical Fitness with symptoms consistent with a hormone imbalance, Dr. Marquette examines you and asks for details about your symptoms. If she decides that bioidentical hormone replacement is a fitting option for your treatment, you undergo a minor procedure in the office.

During the procedure, Dr. Marquette provides local anesthesia, so you’re not uncomfortable or in pain. She makes a small incision, usually in the upper buttock area or love handle area, and inserts a BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellet. After insertion, Dr. Marquette places a small bandage over the site to protect it. The BioTE® pellet, smaller than a grain of rice, begins working to restore your hormonal balance.

It can take up to six months after the first insertion to achieve a full state of testosterone balance, and a second pelleting might be necessary to fully feel the effects. Contact Dr. Marquette today to get started with hormone pellet therapy."<

Common Questions

What is pellet therapy?

Pellets are made of custom-compounded hormones. The hormones are compounded in the U.S. by outsourcing facilities that are held to strict standards. Each pellet has customized doses of hormones of estrogen and testosterone for each patient's needs. These pellets are inserted subcutaneously into the hip area and provide continuous therapeutic support for months following the insertion.

Who is a candidate for bioidentical hormone therapy?

Men and women who are experiencing fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, low sex drive, mood swings, and a host of other unwanted symptoms. Women going through menopause are often good candidates as well. Also, if you are finding it difficult to lose weight and build muscle, experiencing joint pain, irritability, or brain fog, difficulty sleeping or staying asleep, you may be a candidate for Biote.

What is BHRT?

BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The term "bioidentical" is used to convey that the molecular structure is the same as the hormones produced by the human body so they are human-like. This molecular structure makes it easier for our bodies to absorb compared to synthetic hormones.

How can BHRT help with menopause and andropause (male menopause)?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, may be able to rebalance hormone levels that are reduced during menopause and andropause. Biote’s approach to hormone therapy for women and men only uses hormones similar to those found in the human body and may help relieve the symptoms associated with menopause and andropause. BHRT pellets provide constant and consistent doses of hormone therapy.

How often are pellet insertions scheduled?

It is recommended for women to come in for their pellet insertion every 3-4 months and men every 5-6 months.

What is a common cause of sexual dysfunction in Men?

A frequent cause of sexual dysfunction in men is low testosterone levels, commonly referred to as low T.

How can testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) help with sexual dysfunction?

Testosterone replacement therapy can aid by restoring testosterone levels to a normal range, which typically leads to improvements in sexual desire and the ability to achieve and maintain erections.

What are the expected outcomes of TRT related to sexual function?

The anticipated outcomes of TRT in the context of sexual function include enhanced libido and improved erectile function, both in achieving and maintaining erections.

Are diet and exercise important?

Undoubtedly, both diet and exercise play a crucial role in maximizing the effectiveness of therapies like Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). Achieving better and faster results in terms of muscle growth and strength increase is significantly more likely when individuals adhere to a balanced diet and engage regularly in physical activity.
