Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate nearly every function in the body. As we age, the natural decline in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can lead to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and a higher risk of chronic diseases. BHRT with Biote hormones replenishes these essential hormones with plant-derived compounds that are structurally identical to those produced by your body, offering a safer and more effective approach to hormone balance.
Proven Health Benefits of BHRT
1. Prevents Breast Cancer:
A nine-year study involving over 2,300 women found that testosterone delivered
via Biote hormone pellets reduced the risk of invasive breast cancer by 35.5%.
Testosterone balances estrogen levels, reducing the risk of hormone-related
cancers.
2. Protects Cardiovascular Health:
Research shows that hormone replacement therapy, particularly when started
near the onset of menopause, reduces the risk of heart disease by supporting
healthy cholesterol levels, reducing arterial stiffness, and improving blood vessel
function.
3. Supports Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s Prevention:
Estrogen therapy during the perimenopausal window has been linked to
improved memory and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. Testosterone
supplementation in men also supports cognitive function and mood regulation.
4. Strengthens Bones and Prevents Osteoporosis:
Estrogen and testosterone therapy have been shown to prevent bone loss and
significantly reduce the risk of fractures by maintaining bone density. This is
critical for women in menopause and men with low testosterone.
5. Improves Quality of Life and Longevity:
Optimizing hormone levels enhances energy, mood, libido, and overall vitality,
helping patients live fuller and more active lives as they age.
Understanding the Role of Each Hormone
Estrogen: The Protector
Benefits:
Estrogen is vital for bone health, cardiovascular protection, and maintaining
cognitive function. It also alleviates menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and
night sweats.
Contradictions:
Not recommended for women with a history of estrogen-positive breast cancer or
unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Progesterone: The Balancer
Benefits:
Progesterone works alongside estrogen to balance its effects, reducing the risk
of uterine cancer. It promotes restful sleep, reduces anxiety, and supports bone
health.
Contradictions:
Should be avoided in cases of progesterone hypersensitivity or specific hormone-
dependent cancers.
Testosterone: The Restorer
Benefits:
Testosterone isn’t just for men—it benefits women too. It supports muscle mass,
boosts libido, enhances mood, and regulates energy levels. For men over 40,
testosterone therapy improves cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and
vitality.
Contradictions:
Avoid in patients with prostate cancer, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea,
or uncontrolled heart conditions.
