What is Biote Certified hormone therapy?
Biote® Certified therapy is a specialized approach to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) designed to optimize hormone levels safely and effectively. Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources and formulated to closely match the hormones naturally produced by your body.
As a Biote Certified provider, Dr. Steel has advanced training in identifying hormone imbalances and customizing treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Hormone optimization may help improve symptoms caused by aging, menopause, perimenopause, and low testosterone.
Biote therapy focuses on restoring balance to hormones such as:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Thyroid hormones
By restoring optimal hormone levels, Biote Certified therapy can help support better physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
What symptoms can Biote Certified therapy help with?
Hormonal imbalances can develop gradually and affect both men and women in different ways. Dr. Steel evaluates your symptoms, health history, and lab results to determine whether Biote Certified BHRT is right for you.
Symptoms hormone therapy may help improve include:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Weight gain
- Mood swings or irritability
- Anxiety or depression
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Low libido
- Sleep disturbances
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Loss of muscle mass
- Difficulty concentrating
Because every patient is different, Dr. Steel develops individualized treatment plans focused on your specific symptoms and wellness goals.
How does Biote Certified hormone therapy work?
Biote hormone therapy often uses tiny pellets inserted beneath the skin to deliver a steady, consistent release of hormones over time. Pellet therapy eliminates the ups and downs that can occur with pills, creams, or injections.
Your treatment begins with:
- A comprehensive consultation
- Detailed lab testing
- Review of your symptoms and medical history
- A customized hormone optimization plan
Once your hormone levels are evaluated, Dr. Steel determines the ideal dosage and treatment method to help restore balance and improve your overall health.
