BioTE® Method Available at Hardtner Medical Center
Amanda Novak, WHNP of our Women’s Health Center at Hardtner is a certified BioTE® practitioner. We offer hormone pellet therapy to help our patients balance their hormones naturally. BioTE® Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. The BioTE® method may help keep the patient’s hormone levels consistent throughout the day. The pellet therapy that BioTE trains on uses hormones that are bioidentical to those found in the human body.
The BioTE® method can help regulate many of the body’s key functions and provide numerous benefits to our patients at Hardtner Medical Center. It uses bioidentical, meaning the chemical structure is the same as the hormones produced by your body, estradiol. Our approach to BHRT using pellets may help avoid unwanted side effects.
Each patient’s symptoms are unique, and so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization through BHRT using pellets. Most bioidentical hormone replacement therapy patients report some symptom resolution in as little as four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. The bioidentical hormones for our hormone pellet therapy will be customized to fit your patient’s specific needs.
