Hormone Imbalance

Have you been experiencing fatigue, insomnia, irritability, anxiousness, mood swings, stress, or weight gain? What about changes in muscle and bone mass, cholesterol, appetite, and sex drive? If any of these symptoms apply to you, then you might have a hormone imbalance. Here at the Blakeburn clinic, we can help.

Hormonal imbalances can occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in your bloodstream. Because of their essential role, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout your body.

We have a solution. Our practice is proud to be a certified BioTE® Medical provider of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Our BioTE® certification means we are dedicated to providing the best hormone therapy available for men and women who want to age healthier and improve the quality of their lives.

Curious what BHRT actually means? It’s a personalized approach to hormone replacement. It allows your body to absorb the right level of hormones at the right time using a delivery method the body can process efficiently.

So how does it work? Small capsules called pellets (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone or estrogen are inserted under the skin, where hormones enter the bloodstream as they dissolve over several months. Studies show that patients may see the effects of hormone optimization up to four weeks after a pellet insertion. Everyone is unique and some people may feel the effects immediately, while others may take up to two or more pellet insertions before they feel full effects.

So what are the benefits? The benefits of BHRT can vary for women and men. For women, it can help lessen the negative effects of hysterectomy, metabolic syndrome, menopause, and thyroid issues. For men, it can help to reduce weight gain caused by metabolic syndrome, thyroid issues, improve sexual performance, maintain muscle mass, and treat PTSD.

These are just a few ways that BHRT could improve your life. If you’re interested in giving it a shot, contact us today to set up a consultation and see if BioTE® is right for you!
