Frequently Asked Questions:
What Is BioTE® Hormone Pellet Therapy?
BioTE® hormone pellet therapy is a treatment that involves using hormones that are designed to mimic the body’s natural hormonal levels. Many patients have reported remarkable results from receiving bio-identical hormone replacement therapy through pellet implants. These small, under-the-skin implants consistently release physiologically appropriate doses of hormones that provide optimal therapy.
In contrast to other forms of hormone therapy such as oral or transdermal methods that can lead to fluctuating hormone levels, resulting in mood and energy swings, the BioTE® Medical Method uses bio-identical hormone pellet therapy to deliver sustained hormone levels throughout the day. This method provides up to three to five months of stable hormone levels without any “roller coaster” effect.
What Are Hormone Pellets?
Pellets are a highly effective method of delivering hormones to both men and women, according to research. These small cylinders are created by a compounding pharmacist who fuses estrogen or testosterone into them.
When implanted into the fatty tissue beneath the skin, these pellets — some of which are smaller than a grain of rice — most closely resemble the actions of healthy ovaries and testicles in terms of hormone release into the bloodstream. Implanting pellets is a straightforward hormonal imbalance treatment that can be performed easily in a medical office.
Precise Dosing Is Key
At the heart of the BioTE® method is the importance of precise dosing for optimal hormone levels. This is determined through comprehensive blood work analysis, which enables us to create a unique dosing plan for each patient based on their individual needs. Unlike other methods of hormone delivery such as pills, patches, creams, and shots, which can’t provide round-the-clock, steady delivery, hormone pellets offer a constant supply of bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for up to five months. Because these hormones are recognized by the body, the chance of experiencing adverse side effects is significantly reduced.
Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy For Men
Studies have shown, men begin losing testosterone at a rate of 3% to 10% per year beginning at age 30. Current medical research now defines a male equivalent to menopause as andropause. Because the testosterone used is totally natural, it is ideal for men who want the benefits of a bio-identical hormone without the drawbacks of a synthetic.
Symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men may include fatigue, lack of mental acuity, loss of libido, and difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection.
At our Fort Worth center for healthy living, we understand that men’s hormonal needs have not always received the attention they deserve. Traditional treatment options for men can be expensive, require daily consumption, and even need to be carefully timed with their partner’s needs for normal sexual activities and pleasure. This is where bio-identical hormone pellet therapy comes in as an effective and convenient solution.
BioTE® Medical offers the only method of testosterone therapy that provides sustained and consistent testosterone levels throughout the day for four to six months, without the “roller coaster” effect of fluctuating blood levels that can result in mood and energy swings for the patient. This makes it an ideal path to wellness for men seeking to balance their hormones.
Our center for healthy living in Fort Worth has seen excellent results in treating men with bio-identical hormone therapy, with only a few minor and treatable side effects reported. Thanks to the transformative power of hormone pellet therapy, men no longer have to endure changes in sexual desire, weight gain, muscle mass, and feelings of sluggishness, depression, and irritability as they age.
Hormone Pellet Therapy For Women
Pellet Therapy
Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. The loss of estrogen puts her at increased risk for osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, impaired vision, and Parkinson’s disease. The longer a woman is without the protection of estrogen, the greater the risk for serious health consequences of these conditions. That’s why hormone replacement therapy is so important.
There are estrogen receptors in a variety of organs throughout the body. As a result, a hormonal imbalance can manifest in different ways, such as loss of skin elasticity, bone shrinkage, mood changes, and cognitive decline. However, during the first week of menses, estrogen levels rise and lead to an increase in the amount of serotonin available in the spaces between the brain’s nerve cells, which can improve mood. Within the brain, estrogen can act as a natural antidepressant and mood stabilizer.

Testosterone Pellet Therapy
Studies have shown testosterone hormone therapy can provide a woman with mental clarity, increased libido, and more muscle mass. When this hormone is at low levels, women often complain of mental confusion, weight gain, and poor muscle tone, even with regular exercise.
The effect of hormone deficiency on the brain, muscle, bone, heart, and metabolism can be significant without hormone replacement therapy for women, and it can be dangerous to long-term health. The brain needs normal amounts of testosterone in balance with estrogen to produce serotonin, which supports emotional balance. When lacking in these hormones, a woman can experience emotional instability and face increased anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbances, anger, sadness, and depression.
The musculoskeletal system is also adversely affected by the loss of testosterone. By not having bio-identical hormone therapy, the deficiency or imbalance of testosterone can lead to muscle atrophy, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and pain in the muscles and joints.
