WHAT IS BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?

As we age, the body naturally produces fewer key hormones like estrogen and testosterone. These hormones play a vital role in regulating many of the body’s functions—affecting everything from brain and heart health to bone density and mood.

When hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low libido, mood swings, and more.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses plant-based, compounded hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. This allows your body to recognize and utilize them just as it would your own hormones, helping restore balance and relieve unwanted symptoms.

THE BIOTE METHOD OF BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE

REPLACEMENT THERAPY

The Biote Method uses small, custom-compounded pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—that are inserted just under the skin during a quick, in-office procedure. These pellets slowly dissolve over time, delivering a consistent stream of hormones directly into your bloodstream.

Pellets typically need to be re-administered every 3 to 5 months, depending on your body’s individual absorption rate. They are fully absorbed by the body, leaving no residue behind.

This steady release of bioidentical hormones is designed to support optimal balance without the hormonal fluctuations that can occur with other delivery methods.

WHY DO HORMONES MATTER?

Hormones regulate nearly every essential function in the body. As women approach menopause and men experience andropause, natural hormone levels decline—often leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms.

Even small hormonal imbalances can disrupt sleep, energy, mood, sexual health, and overall quality of life.

That’s why at GLO with Jeanine, I take a comprehensive, science-backed approach to hormone optimization—helping you feel more like yourself again.
