What Is BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BioTE® hormone replacement therapy is a form of hormone optimization that uses small hormone pellets placed just beneath the skin. These pellets are designed to release hormones gradually over time, helping support more consistent hormone levels compared to options that require frequent daily or weekly use.
BioTE® is often considered when hormone levels decline or become irregular, which can contribute to symptoms such as:
- Low energy or motivation.
- Stubborn weight or body composition changes.
- Mood shifts or irritability.
- Low libido or reduced sexual wellness.
- Poor sleep or waking up unrested.
- Brain fog or difficulty focusing.
Your plan should always be based on your symptoms, health history, and lab results, not guesswork.
Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy

- More stable mood and energy, including fewer "ups and downs" during the day.
- Support for metabolism and body composition goals when paired with healthy habits.
- Improved libido and sexual wellness.

What to Expect During a BioTE® Hormone Replacement Therapy Appointment
Our approach to HRT focuses on education, thoughtful evaluation, and a plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle so you can feel better in a steady, sustainable way.
- Consultation: We'll review your symptoms, goals, medical history, and current medications or supplements. This is where we connect the dots between how you feel and what may be happening hormonally.
- Lab Testing: Lab work is typically recommended to evaluate hormone levels and related markers, based on your concerns and your provider's guidance. These results help shape a safe, individualized plan.
- Personalized Plan: If you're a candidate for BioTE®, your provider will review your lab results alongside your symptoms to determine an appropriate approach, including timing for follow-ups and ongoing support.
- Pellet Placement (If Recommended): BioTE® pellets are placed during a quick in-office procedure using local anesthetic, typically in the upper hip area. Most patients return to normal routines quickly, with a few temporary restrictions on activity.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Your plan may be refined over time based on your experience and follow-up labs to help maintain safe, effective results.
Who Is Hormone Replacement Therapy For?
BioTE® hormone therapy may be a fit for adults who have symptoms consistent with hormone decline or imbalance and want a medically guided option.
You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You’ve noticed fatigue, low motivation, mood changes, or poor sleep that doesn’t improve with routine changes.
- You’re experiencing perimenopause or menopause symptoms, or changes associated with andropause.
- You have concerns like low libido, brain fog, or stubborn body changes.
- You want a hormone therapy option designed for steady, long-term support.
Hormone replacement therapy is not right for everyone. A thorough review of your health history and lab evaluation is important to ensure your plan is appropriate and safe.
BioTE® Pellet Aftercare and Recovery Tips
After pellet placement, smart aftercare supports comfort and smooth healing at the insertion site.
- Follow your provider’s post-procedure instructions exactly.
- Keep the area clean and dry as directed.
- Avoid strenuous lower-body workouts or heavy lifting for the time period recommended by your provider.
- Track changes in energy, sleep, mood, and libido weekly so your provider can better evaluate progress.
- Keep follow-up appointments and lab check-ins so your plan can be optimized safely.
- Ask about lifestyle supports that pair well with hormone optimization, such as sleep hygiene, strength training, protein intake, and stress reduction.
Mild tenderness, bruising, or swelling near the insertion site can be normal early on. If you notice worsening redness, warmth, drainage, fever, or increasing pain, contact your clinic promptly.
