Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
IN BRADENTON, FL
INTRODUCTION TO Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a form of therapy used to treat individuals whose hormone levels drop or become unbalanced. It’s most frequently used to ease symptoms of perimenopause and menopause in women. However, it can also be used to improve symptoms of cancer treatment or to treat conditions such as insulin resistance, adrenal and thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia.
WHAT IS Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) aims to restore hormonal balance in the body using hormones that are identical to those naturally produced. A common method for BHRT is through hormone pellets that are inserted under the skin, typically in the hip area. These pellets gradually release hormones into the bloodstream, providing a consistent and steady dose of hormones to the body.
The term “bioidentical” refers to the fact that the hormones used in this therapy are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones are derived from plant estrogens that are chemically processed to match human hormones exactly.

HOW DOES Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy WORK?
Our Hormone Replacement treatments prioritize safety and efficacy. During your appointment, our team at J&J Aesthetics engages in a thorough discussion of your healthcare needs. Armed with a complete understanding, our Certified Biote’s Provider tailors a personalized hormone replacement plan to address your specific requirements, promising a path to restore your well-being. The goal of BHRT is to correct low hormone levels and restore the balance of hormone levels in the body, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with hormone imbalance. Because the hormones used in BHRT are bio-identical, they are often considered to be more natural and with potentially fewer side effects compared to synthetic hormones.
What Does BHRT Treat?
Alzheimer's Disease
BHRT may protect nerve cells by counteracting the drop in estrogen during menopause, which impairs the brain’s ability to utilize glucose for energy, leading it to switch to using fats. HRT, when initiated before menopause, can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by preventing this metabolic shift, but its protective effect diminishes post-menopause. Postmenopausal women might benefit from a ketogenic diet, which provides ketones and may reduce the amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s for potential brain protection.
Osteoporosis
One of the main advantages of hormone replacement therapy in women is its role in preventing osteoporosis, a condition that can result in hip fractures and other bone injuries due to weakened bones. These fractures cause physical strain and impose financial burdens on patients. BHRT can boost estrogen levels in your body. This helps to keep your bones strong and lowers the chances of developing osteoporosis or breaking bones. If you already have osteoporosis or are at a high risk of breaking bones, BHRT can make your bones stronger and reduce the likelihood of fractures.
Hormonal Imbalances
BHRT offers a precise approach to restoring hormonal balance in men. Through personalized analysis and the use of bioidentical hormones, it replenishes deficient hormones and regulates excessive ones. Pellets inserted subcutaneously provide a gradual release of hormones, ensuring consistent levels over time. While for women, BHRT begins to take effect within two to four weeks post-insertion, allowing them to resume their normal activities. Some notice the complete benefits after the second insertion. This targeted support promotes benefits such as improved energy, mood, and overall well-being.
Cardiovascular Disease
BHRT provides a safe and effective means of restoring testosterone levels, closely resembling the body’s natural production process. Supported by research showing a strong link between testosterone levels and heart health, including a 2018 study and findings from The Aging Male journal, BHRT is increasingly recommended for men with diagnosed low testosterone. These treatments aim to normalize testosterone levels and promote cardiovascular health, offering a crucial option for overall well-being.
