Hormones do a lot for you, probably even more than you realize. They’re responsible for your bone and muscle health, blood pressure regulation, metabolic rate, appetite, and sleep cycles. And those are just a few of the bodily functions your hormones are intricately tied to.
Because hormones are such key players in your health, it makes sense that your wellness is going to be severely impacted by imbalanced hormone levels.
Women who are going through perimenopause, have high stress levels, or have recently given birth may be especially prone to feel the effects of the hormone roller coaster. Irregular hormone levels can leave you dealing with all sorts of unpleasant symptoms such as mood swings, breast tenderness, insomnia, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and brain fog.
If fluctuating hormone levels have severely impacted the quality of your day-to-day life, our team at the Center for Women’s Health in Sugar Land and Richmond, Texas, want you to know that effective treatment is available to you in the form of BioTe® bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
In this month’s blog, we discuss what bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is and how BioTe can deliver amazing results and restore your health and wellness.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are synthetic hormones derived from plants. When they’re created, they’re given the same chemical makeup as your existing hormones, meaning they can function very similarly and your body can recognize, absorb, and use them easily.
Because bioidentical hormones have such a similar chemical makeup to your body’s own hormones, you shouldn’t experience any adverse side effects from the hormone therapy, which can sometimes happen with more traditional hormone therapy products made from animal products.
What can you expect from BioTe pellets?
Some bioidentical hormones are available in the form of creams and patches; however, BioTe uses rice-grain-sized pellets inserted under your skin. This tends to be a much more effective method because your body can slowly absorb the hormone replacements into your bloodstream and steadily increase your hormone levels rather than have a huge spike at first and then aggressively drop soon after.
The pellets also last several months, meaning you don’t have to think about administering treatment to yourself to continue reaping the benefits.
Is BioTe right for you?
If you’ve been dealing with a wide range of hormone imbalance-related symptoms such as a depressed or irritable mood, low libido, painful intercourse, irregular sleep cycles, night sweats, or memory problems, you might benefit from BioTe hormone replacement pellets.
Our team can test your hormone levels and learn which hormones might need a boost, whether it’s estrogen, progesterone, or even testosterone.
