What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT at Advanced Surgeons uses revolutionary BioTE® technology to treat unbalanced hormone levels, reduce unpleasant symptoms, and lower your risk of health problems.

With aging often comes low levels of testosterone, estrogen, or other hormones, as well as thyroid problems in some cases.

BioTE treatment consists of hormones in pellet form that are identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. Treatment at Advanced Surgeons offers you symptom relief.

Is weight gain a symptom of hormone imbalance?

Yes. Weight gain is a common side effect of hormone imbalance. It can also impede weight loss. Other common signs and symptoms of hormone imbalance include:

Changes in appetite

Skin changes
Vaginal dryness in women
Feeling too cold or too hot
Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men

Is BHRT right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for BHRT, experts at Advanced Surgeons discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, and complete a physical examination.

They recommend you undergo blood tests to assess your hormone levels before developing a personalized treatment plan.

What happens during BHRT treatment?

The BioTE method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses pellets that contain either bioidentical testosterone or estrogen. BHRT is a way to bioidentically replace the hormones men and women lose over the course of their lives. We use BHRT to balance hormones in a way that helps patients reclaim their health. Each patient’s pellet therapy is customized specifically to their needs based on extensive lab work and an office visit with a certified BioTE provider. Pellets are placed subcutaneously (just beneath the skin) in a nonsurgical insertion. They then release a continuous stream of bioidentical hormones for three to six months, during which the pellets are absorbed into the body. Pellet therapy is paired with the BioTE-backed nutraceutical line CORE+, created specifically to supplement BHRT and help improve hormone health.

Age Healthier With Balanced Hormones:

As the body ages, it undergoes various hormonal changes that can affect health. Some of the common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include weight gain, memory decline, fatigue, and muscle loss. Bioidentical hormones may restore hormones to their optimal levels.
