BioTE Pellet Hormone Therapy in Kingwood, TX

BioTE pellet hormone therapy is very effective at safely restoring a patient’s hormone level to what would be considered healthy for a young adult, providing numerous benefits that are achieved through balanced hormones. Having these balanced hormones allows for an improvement of the overall health of the patient, specifically providing increased levels of energy throughout the day, improving muscle strength, offering increased mental clarity, providing better quality of sleep, and increasing the libido, all of which quickly result in an increased quality of life. Symptoms that have developed due to the imbalanced hormones will gradually or quickly dissipate once treatment has commenced, including:

● Reduced frequency of hot flashes
● Reduced inflammation and joint pain
● Slowed down hair loss
● Improved health of the thyroid, breasts, and prostate
● Decreased risk of developing age-related diseases
● Improved health and appearance of the hair and skin

Once the BioTE hormone pellets have been implanted, it can take a bit of time for the body to respond to the changes in hormone levels, and every patient will respond a bit differently to the treatment. Typically, patients can expect to experience some improvements and changes within a week to 10 days, with the full benefits of the treatment being realized often several months after the initial implantation or sometimes even longer. It is possible that some patients will not fully experience all the provided benefits until they have received their second BioTE hormone pellet. The pellets will each last a few months, often around 3 to 4 months in female patients and closer to 4 to 5 months in male patients (with some variance depending on how quickly the pellets dissolve into the bloodstream), so it is very common for the treatment to include pellet replacement every 4 to 6 months, being replaced 2 to 4 times annually to sustain the provided benefits.

It is very common to experience gradual weight gain as we continue to age, partially due to hormonal imbalances that occur over the years, so rebalancing those hormones will help to make it a bit easier to lose that excess weight. This also means that it will be a bit easier for patients to maintain a healthy weight while they continue using the BioTE hormone pellet therapy. However, weight loss should not be the goal of hormone replacement therapy, as there needs to be an existing hormone rebalance that would benefit from treatment to provide the weight loss benefits as well. Additionally, they will not provide the same weight loss benefits to each patient who chooses to continue with BioTE hormone pellet therapy, as each patient will respond differently to the treatment so weight loss cannot be guaranteed. The treatment will often only provide some support for patients who wish to lose weight to achieve a healthy weight or want to maintain a healthy weight, as it often provides energy-boosting support, helps to burn away stomach fat, and improves lean muscle mass when the patient is also maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle through diet and exercise.

It is not very common for health insurance providers to offer full coverage for BioTE pellet hormone therapy, but there are many cases where patients were able to receive partial coverage or could use some of their health spending account that is provided through health insurance to help with the costs of this treatment option. It is highly recommended that before starting a treatment plan, patients reach out to both their health insurance provider and the physician providing the treatment to determine what kind of coverage they can expect and to ensure that their physician’s office can accept their specific insurance provider.
