Male Self-assessment:
We have so many hormones doing so many jobs in our bodies, it’s no wonder things can go haywire when hormones aren’t optimized. We have bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that restores that feeling of “normal” you’re looking for.
How does hormone optimization work?
Hormones are chemicals in the body that rule most of your bodily functions, from things like energy levels and mood to reproduction and libido. When hormone levels begin to drop due to age or underlying health conditions, all of these bodily functions can start to suffer. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) works to supplement your body with the hormones you require — testosterone or estrogen — using wholly natural hormone replacements that are identical to those found in the human body.
BioTE hormone pellets are roughly the size of a grain of rice and are inserted just below the skin’s surface to seamlessly deliver the hormone you need for months before being safely absorbed by the body. BHRT can also be administered via injections or a topical gel depending on your preference. As every patient’s symptoms and hormone levels will differ, so will their hormone optimization treatment plan. BioTE hormone pellets can last anywhere from three to six months in the body before another insertion is needed. Within several weeks or months of starting your pellet therapy, you’ll observe noticeable improvements to your symptoms and an improved sense of health and well-being.
Look GREAT. Feel GREAT. Feel young again with BioTE!™
BioTE™ Pellet Hormone therapy:
The BioTE Pellet is created by fusing the estrogen or testosterone into a tiny cylinder that is implanted into the fatty tissue under the skin, releasing the necessary hormones to mimic hormone release from healthy ovaries or testicles into the bloodstream.
Using a thorough bloodwork analysis, we will determine the proper hormone levels customized to what your body needs.
The pellets release hormones into the body seven days a week, 24 hours a day for up to 5 months.
At ThrIVe Wheeling, we are happy to help you find balance with your hormones naturally.

5 reasons to choose BioTE™
1. You’re having symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances
Common symptoms of estrogen and testosterone imbalance include loss of libido, moodiness,
irritability, depression, problems with memory and concentration, thinning hair, loss of muscle
mass, weight gain (especially in the belly area), and fatigue. Estrogen decline is also associated
with night sweats, hot flashes, facial hair growth, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness and an
increased risk of urinary incontinence. Low levels of testosterone can also cause erectile
dysfunction, including problems getting and maintaining an erection.
2. You want a natural therapy
As noted, BioTE uses bioidentical hormones, which are more like natural hormones. And unlike
other hormone replacement products, such as rings, gels, patches, creams, gels and pills, BioTE
pellets don’t use any synthetic or artificial fillers, and they dissolve completely over time.
3. You don’t want to deal with messy gels or creams or remember to take pills
Because the BioTE HRT system uses pellets that are implanted under your skin, hormone
release and delivery happens automatically, without any intervention on your part. All you need
to do is remember to have the pellets replaced every few months, according to a schedule your
doctor will establish for you, based on your specific needs, symptoms and medical history.
4. You want to minimize your risk of side effects
HRT can be a boon to lots of women and men suffering from all sorts of symptoms associated
with a decrease in hormones, but there are some risks, depending on the type of therapy you
select. BioTE minimizes side effects in two important ways: First, because it uses bioidentical
hormones, and second, because it releases hormones slowly, over time — just the way your
body releases natural hormones. That means you don’t have to worry about the “peaks and
valleys” associated with pills and some other therapies. And unlike creams or gels, the
hormones are delivered right to your bloodstream, so they can effectively address a whole
array of symptoms.
5. You’ve tried — and rejected — other hormone replacement products
Maybe you’ve tried HRT in the past, and it just hasn’t worked. Or maybe you wound up
experiencing side effects as a result of your therapy. Because of the way BioTE works, many
people who’ve had unpleasant experiences with HRT in the past find they get the results they
want with BioTE pellets.
If you’re dealing with symptoms associated with hormonal decline, BioTE hormone therapy
could be a great option for helping you feel better.

The body can gradually slow or stop its production of key hormones which may profoundly affect energy levels, libido, and feelings of emotional well-being.
Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is an innovative science that re-introduces the body’s missing hormones in the form of time-released, plant-based hormone pellets that are identical to your own hormones, placed in an inconspicuous area just below the skin’s surface. The treatment is quick and painless. Soon you’ll be re-energized, feeling younger, shedding stored body fat and regaining your life!

We are not surprised at your provider’s response. BioTE (brand) pellet therapy is not technology that’s been available in our area, so providers are unaware AND skeptical. We expect that.
Our BioTE pellets are compounded and are bioidentical. The stink around hormones are from synthetic shots, patches and creams.
Ours do not cause blood clots. Optimized hormones protect the brain from Alzheimer’s, protects the heart from cardiac events, protects women from getting breast cancer, protects men from getting prostate cancer.
This is a new for our area. In the big cities, it’s been going for a long time and is the preferred method for hormone replacement. BioTE is 12 years old, but pellet therapy started in 1947. So NEW for our area, but NOT new.
We understand if these conflicting opinions make you nervous. We’re happy to send you a additional information to consider, and we strongly encourage you to spend time on BioTE’s website. Their site provides many, many studies, both from them and from independent studies. The old thinking is just that. In 5-10 years, we expect that local providers will be singing a different tune….hopefully, even sooner than that. Let us know if we can help you.
Also important to remember – these are NOT customized compounded pellets – that’s a WHOLE DIFFERENT STYLE of business.
These are standardized, tested pellets, each registered with the DEA. We assign each pellet to YOU (after insertion) in our DEA registry. The DOSE is customized for you, by pulling the standardized pellets you need. So DOSE is customized, pellets are NOT.
