What the program actually involves.
Hormone replacement therapy restores hormones — primarily testosterone, and for some clients estradiol — to levels appropriate for you, based on bloodwork and how you feel. We use the Biote® pellet system: a small subcutaneous insertion that releases hormones steadily over months, avoiding the daily peaks and troughs of creams or injections.
Pellets are placed during a brief in-office procedure. Once they're in, they work in the background — no daily routine to maintain. Most women redose every 3–4 months; most men every 5–6 months. We base timing on your labs and your symptoms.
Honest framing: hormone therapy treats real symptoms tied to suboptimal hormone levels — fatigue not explained by sleep, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, mood and sleep changes. It's not a guaranteed treatment for weight loss, anti-aging, or sexual performance. Response is individual. We base everything on labs and symptoms, not on aggressive optimization toward arbitrary numbers.
We treat both women and men. The protocols are different; the principles are the same.
What to expect.
Consultation
60-minute appointment covering symptoms, full medical history, current medications, and goals. We discuss what hormones can and can't address — honestly. Labs ordered at the visit; results reviewed before we move forward.
Pellet insertion
15-minute in-office procedure. Local anesthetic, small incision typically in the upper hip area, pellets placed, single suture or steri-strip. Most clients describe the procedure as brief pressure, not pain.
Follow-up
Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Sleep, energy, and mood improvements typically appear at 2–4 weeks; fuller stabilization at 2–3 months. We follow up with labs and a symptom review on a regular cadence.
