5 Conditions that BioTe Pellet Therapy Can Help You Find Relief From

BioTe® pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). It uses pellets that are plant-based and safe for your body. The pellets contain bioidentical hormones, which are replicas of hormones that help balance out your system.

There are many conditions associated with hormonal imbalance, and BioTe pellet therapy can provide effective relief from the symptoms that come with it.

Located in Gardena, California, Dr. Gwen Allen of Gardena Women’s Center can help offer you relief from these 5 conditions using BioTe pellet therapy.

1. Menopause symptoms

Symptoms of menopause are different for each woman. If menopause suddenly occurs, the symptoms tend to be far more severe. Most symptoms of menopause include:

• Hot flashes
• Weight gain
• Headaches
• Increased heart rate
• Difficulty concentrating
• Insomnia
• Urinary tract infection (UTI)
• Reduced sex drive

Menopause affects the production of several hormones, like estrogen. BioTe pellet therapy can alleviate the severity of these symptoms by continuously releasing the reduced hormones.

2. Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is more commonly known as brittle bone disease. It reduces bone mass, which causes your bones to weaken and grow thin. The risk of developing osteoporosis increases with age, along with the natural deterioration of bone strength.

Since hormones are vital for growth, hormonal imbalances can put you at a greater risk for osteoporosis.

3. Depression

Depression is more common in women than in men, as women experience more hormone imbalances from pregnancy, menopause, and other conditions.

Many medical conditions are tied to depression. For women in particular, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can lead to a form of depression called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The main difference between PMS and PMDD is that the symptoms are far worse in PMDD and can seriously affect a person’s everyday activities.

4. Hyperthyroidism

Your thyroid gland releases hormones that impact your mood, weight, and energy. Hyperthyroidism, more commonly known as overactive thyroid, is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces an excess of hormones.

An overabundance of thyroid hormones may cause:

• Increased heart rate
• Muscle weakness
• Weight loss
• Feelings of nervousness
• Infrequent menstrual periods
• Insomnia

It’s possible for a person to suffer from both hyperthyroidism and depression. If you are experiencing similar symptoms, Dr. Allen can help determine what’s causing them and whether BioTe pellet therapy can help you.

5. Hypothyroidism

Similar to hyperthyroidism, an underactive thyroid (or hypothyroidism) results in less production of crucial thyroid hormones. Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism include:

• Fatigue
• Memory loss or forgetfulness
• Intolerance to cold
• Weight gain

Regulating thyroid hormones is important as they assist with sleep and weight control.
