HRT / Hormone Replacement Therapy

As women reach menopause, hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone—begin to decline. This shift can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms.

• Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue
• Night sweats
• Hot flashes
• Mood swings, including irritability and anxiety
• Weight gain
• Memory issues and brain fog
• Loss of libido and sexual discomfort
• Decreased bone mass

These symptoms can impact daily life and overall well-being, but the good news is that BHRT aims to address these issues by restoring hormone balance. It offers a more natural option to manage symptoms effectively and improve quality of life during menopause.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers several benefits for women experiencing menopause, targeting a wide range of symptoms and improving overall well-being. Here are some of the key advantages:

• Reduces Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: BHRT helps stabilize hormone levels, significantly decreasing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats, making day-to-day life more comfortable.
• Improves Mood and Mental Clarity: Many women notice a more stable mood, less irritability, and even a reduction in feelings of anxiety or depression with BHRT. It can also help improve memory and concentration, addressing the “brain fog” that often accompanies menopause.
• Boosts Energy Levels: By restoring hormonal balance, BHRT can help alleviate fatigue, leaving women feeling more energized and ready to take on daily activities.
• Enhances Libido and Sexual Comfort: With hormone levels balanced, women often report increased libido and improved sexual comfort, including less vaginal dryness and reduced pain during intercourse.
• Supports Bone Health: Estrogen plays a critical role in maintaining bone density. By replacing lost estrogen, BHRT can help slow bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a common concern during menopause.
• Promotes Healthy Weight Management: As hormones regulate, it can become easier to manage weight, particularly around the midsection, which is a common area of weight gain during menopause.
• Improves Sleep Quality: With reduced night sweats and more stable hormone levels, many women find it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, leading to better rest and improved daytime function.

The Biote Method uses tiny pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, to optimize hormone levels. Your provider at Elite Gynecology and Wellness inserts the pellet just under the skin during a quick, in-office procedure. The pellet gradually dissolves over time, typically requiring reinsertion every 3-5 months, depending on individual needs.

Pellet therapy offers relief from menopause symptoms without the need for daily medication. As the pellet dissolves, it releases a consistent dose of hormones directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to absorb what it needs. The pellets are fully absorbed over time.

Biote is more than just hormone replacement—it’s a philosophy of healthy aging. The program not only balances hormones but also addresses thyroid health and nutritional support through specially formulated nutraceuticals. At Elite Gynecology and Wellness, your treatment plan is personalized based on lab results and individual experiences, ensuring the right treatment for your specific needs.

In addition to pellets, progesterone may be added to supplement and replace progesterone for vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and  sleep disturbances. Progesterone is provided in oral form, available from either a compounding pharmacy or a traditional pharmacy.

For convenient access, nutraceuticals can be ordered directly from the Biote store.
