What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce.
Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function – such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more.
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. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.
The Biote Method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
The Biote Method of hormone optimization is the result of condensing over 80 years of scientific research into a program that may help with the earliest signs of aging.
The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone optimization. Your provider at Magnolia Family Medicine inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure.
The pellets will then dissolve slowly over time – they only need to be re-administered approximately every 3-5 months, depending on the patient.
As the pellets dissolve, they release a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream, which your body will then use as it needs. Over time, the pellets will be completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
The Importance of Hormone Balance
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 or more commonly as Low T (low testosterone).
Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream.
Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

Is Biote Right For You?
Biote might be a good option for those who are experiencing hormone imbalances related to estrogen or testosterone deficiency. While a Biote-certified provider can help determine whether it’s right for you based on an initial evaluation and hormone panel, consider reaching out to your primary care physician first, as they will likely give you their honest opinion about the therapy.

About Biote
Founded in 2011, Biote has experience phenomenal growth over the last decade. The Biote state-of-the-art training facility hosts physicians, healthcare providers, and medical staff members monthly during the Biote Method learning and certification process.

Our History
The Biote story began after Gary Donovitz, MD, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, witnessed how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, transformed one of his female patients. Dr. Donovitz knew that he had a duty to research and understand the hormone therapy that helped relieve his patients of their menopause symptoms and return them to their best lives.
Dr. Donovitz began his own personal practice in 1985 and has sought to provide each patient with compassionate, high-quality care for more than 30 years. He has since dedicated himself to pioneering BHRT, and more specifically pellet therapy, through founding Biote. He has written two books and numerous articles on the subject and consistently conducts testing to evaluate the effects hormone replacement therapy has on aging and the human body. He is now an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate of hormone optimization. At the frontier of bioidentical hormone replacement research for more than 20 years, his company Biote is a leading innovator in subcutaneous hormone pellet therapy.
Recently, Terry Weber was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and has brought on board new leadership to take Biote into the future. Forging and encouraging exponentially productive disruption is a through line in Terry’s career of executive leadership. As the former CEO of Amen Clinics and brainMD, Terry forged a path to leverage innovative clinical practices, establishing an exceptional roster of physicians, professional managers, and clinic directors and pushing her teams to change the way psychiatry is practiced to the benefit of patients.
As a Founding Board Member of the nonprofit PreventiveMedicine.org, Terry is convening stakeholders dedicated to building respectful dialogue around the integration of wellness expertise and clinical science to provide patients a more comprehensive continuum of patient options for hormone-related conditions, including menopause, diabetes, and others.*
