Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is therapeutic approach to optimizing hormone levels in individuals ages 35 and above in order to maximize your quality of life. Bioidentical hormones are biologically identical to those produced within the body, making them the most effective approach to hormone replacement therapy.
When our hormones are even slightly out of balance, it can take a serious toll on our entire lives. BHRT helps optimize your body’s hormone levels naturally.
How can BHRT help?
Hormone imbalances may manifest in both men and women as early as in their mid-thirties. An effective BHRT treatment can mitigate many of the following symptoms including:
- Decreased energy and increased fatigue
- Increased irritability, loss of motivation, and depression
- Low libido, erectile dysfunction, and inability to achieve sexual gratification
- Vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse
- Difficulty losing weight or unanticipated weight gain
- Diminished mental focus, “foggy thinking” and memory loss
- Hot flashes and night sweats
BHRT may also help to prevent diseases including:
- Cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes)
- Cholesterol abnormalities
- Osteoporosis
- Alzheimer’s dementia
- Type II diabetes
- Pre-diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome
BHRT vs. HRT
Your health can improve in many ways thanks to the benefits of hormone therapy. The many benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are even greater when you use bioidentical hormones (BHRT). Synthetic hormones are not the same as the hormones made by the human body. That is why they are called synthetic. On the contrary, Bioidentical hormones are an exact duplicate on the molecular level of the hormones your body makes. That means your body reacts to them and treats them exactly as they would your regular hormones. That is why BHRT is the safest and most effective form of hormone replacement therapy there is!
BHRT PELLET THERAPY
No Weekly Injections!
We use BioTE pellets vs weekly injections. Hormone pellets allow better maintenance of hormone levels and a more consistent level due to the lack of peak and trough levels from weekly injections. This also reduce chances for patient errors, as there is no daily topical hormone cream or weekly injection, that means less side effects. The procedure takes less than 15 min at one of our office locations and is painless.
MALE BHRT
During the natural aging process in males, the most common hormone affected is Testosterone. This is described as ‘andropause’ or the male version of menopause. Symptoms of low Testosterone include, but are not limited to; changes in sexual function, body composition, and even disturbed sleep patterns. At RenewMe, our anti-aging programs will help to optimize this hormone level along with other pertinent hormones that may be keeping you from looking and feeling your best!

FAQ
How do Bioidentical Hormone Therapies Work?
Bioidentical hormone therapies work in the same way as natural hormones because they are biologically identical to the hormones found naturally in the body. We are able to replace many, but not all, hormones with biologically identical substitutes. These hormones are administered in a way as close to the natural cycle of hormone production as possible. Many of the functions of hormones will be replicated with the use of bioidentical hormones diminishing symptoms of hormone decline or deficiency.
Who Can Benefit from BHRT?
Hormonal imbalances become more common the older you get. That is why anyone over 35 can benefit from hormone replacement. We provide HRT for men, and hormone therapy for women. Just about anybody between the ages of 35-65 who is feeling these signs and symptoms can benefit from HRT:
- Lack of energy
- Weight gain
- Muscle Loss
- Changes in mood
- Sexual issues
- Cognitive difficulties
With Bioidentical Hormone Therapy our anti-aging physicians can put a stop to, and in many cases even reverse these age-related issues
Why Biote?
BioTe’s hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) method uses convenient pellet therapy based on each patient’s customized plan. Extensive lab work and an office visit will be used to determine your optimal hormone & nutrient health. The insertion of the pellet is done non-surgically just beneath the skin. After insertion, the pellets will release the bioidentical hormones continuously for three to six months as the pellet is absorbed into the body. The benefits of BioTe therapy range from numerous physical benefits such as improved brain function, better mood, thicker hair, and more restful sleep to mental and emotional benefits including improved cognitive function.
BioTE is a very convenient way to receive BHRT. Most patients are able to receive as few as three pellet insertions per year. It is a safe, natural, and effective way to make the hormones available to your body when it needs it without worrying about shots or taking pills every day. BioTE pellet therapy also helps to prevent the rollercoaster effect that can come when taking BHRT in other forms such as oral and topical.
