What is the goal of Hormone Therapy?

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT, is a treatment for many common and debilitating symptoms that are often overlooked by doctors. Some of these symptoms include exhaustion, stress, foggy thinking, weight loss, sleep disturbances, and so much more. These ailments are treated by solving the root cause of these difficult conditions. Often, people with symptoms like these are suffering from hormonal imbalance. BHRT is a natural and simple method for correction of these complex issues.

Symptoms of hormonal imbalances in women

  • Fatigue
  • Night Sweats
  • Hot Flashes
  • Decreased Sex Drive
  • Weight Gain
  • Insomnia

If your menstrual cycle has stopped before menopause, or if you are experiencing this or any other symptom of menopause, you may have low estradiol. An increase in UTIs, depression or painful intercourse may also indicate low estradiol in women.

Symptoms of hormonal imbalances in men

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • Low sperm count
  • Decreased muscle mass
  • Reduced body hair growth
  • Overdevelopment of breast tissue
  • Osteoporosis
  • Anxiety

  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Weight gain

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, you may have suboptimal testosterone levels.

What is Bio-identical Hormone Pellet Therapy?

Within 7-10 days after your pellet insertion, Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) begins to work. Once a pellet is inserted in the gluteal area, a consistent dose of bio-identical (naturally derived) hormones enter the bloodstream. Every BHRT pellet is created with patients’ unique physiology in mind. Because of this, every treatment is tailored to the patient and will have the greatest possible success in helping them achieve balance. Furthermore, the pellets are derived from plants, not animals, which closely mimic the hormones naturally present within your body. Studies have shown that bio-identical hormone pellet therapy may offer you the most benefits.

How can I get started?

Contact us at Aria Integrative Health to schedule an office visit to test your current hormone levels. Based on your comprehensive consultation and thorough blood work panel, we will determine if you are a candidate for BioTE pellet therapy. Then a quick follow up appointment will be scheduled for your unique pellet therapy insertion.

What can I expect?

Each patient’s symptoms are unique and each patient’s paths to optimization is unique. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to 6 months. Your journey will be specialized to fit your specific needs. Just as it doesn’t take you 1-2 weeks to get out of balance, it doesn’t resolve that quickly either.
