• We at Family Practice have chosen to partner with Biote because we believe our patients deserve the best in hormone therapy.
• Biote is the nation’s largest hormone optimization company and one of the only companies actively contributing to furthering the science behind hormone optimization. Biote has translated more than 80 years of scientific insight into the foundation of the ‘Biote Method’, which identifies and aims to help with the earliest signs of ageing.

• Hormones are incredibly important to many areas of our bodies such as brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more. As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones they produce such as Testosterone and Estrogen. 
• When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms. Bioidentical hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. The identical structure allows your body to recognize and use these replacement hormones in the exact same way it would with hormones it produces naturally.

• The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone
  optimization.
• Your provider inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure.
• The pellets will then dissolve slowly over time, only needing to be re-administered
  approximately every 3-6 months, depending on the patient.
• As the pellets dissolve, they release a steady stream of hormones into your
  bloodstream, and will ultimately be completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

• Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Due to their
  essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects
  throughout the body.
• Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause,
  while many men may experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, known
  as andropause.
• Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the
  bloodstream.
