When Your Hormones Are Off, Everything Is Off.
Hormones regulate almost every system in your body such as your metabolism, your mood, your sleep, your sex drive and your mental clarity. When levels start to decline (which they naturally do starting in your late 30s), the effects are hard to ignore.
Women dealing with hormonal imbalance often describe the same experience: they don't feel sick, they just don't feel like themselves. Common signs include:
Persistent fatigue that sleep doesn't fix
Hot flashes and night sweats that disrupt everything
Weight gain, especially around the abdomen, that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
Brain fog, poor focus, or memory lapses
Mood swings, anxiety, or low-grade depression
Low libido and changes in sexual comfort
Hair thinning and skin that feels different
Difficulty building or maintaining muscle
If this sounds familiar, your hormones may not be in optimal balance. The good news: this is not something you have to accept. It's something we can address.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces on its own. Because the molecular structure matches your own hormones exactly, your body recognizes and responds to them naturally.
Body Sculpt + Wellness exclusively uses Biote - a pellet delivery method where a small pellet is inserted just under the skin during a brief in-office procedure. Unlike daily pills, patches, or creams that cause hormonal spikes and drops, pellets release hormones gradually and consistently, mimicking the way your body would release them naturally. The result is steady, stable hormone levels not the rollercoaster of other delivery methods.
Is Biote Right for You?
Biote is a strong option for women experiencing:
Perimenopause or menopause symptoms
Post-menopausal hormonal decline
Symptoms of hormonal imbalance at any stage of adulthood
Difficulty losing weight despite consistent effort
Persistent fatigue, mood issues, or low libido with no clear cause
Biote is also available for men experiencing andropause — the gradual testosterone decline that affects energy, muscle mass, mood, and sexual health. Ask us about our men's hormone optimization program.
Before any treatment begins, we run comprehensive bloodwork to assess your hormone levels. Your protocol is built entirely from your results — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
What to Expect
-
We start with a full consultation and a comprehensive hormone panel. Your results give us a complete picture of where your levels are today and what optimal balance looks like for your body specifically.
-
Based on your labs and symptom history, our medical team designs a personalized pellet formulation. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone — your protocol includes exactly what your body needs, in exactly the right amounts.
-
The in-office procedure takes just a few minutes. A small area near the hip is numbed with a local anesthetic, and the pellet is inserted just beneath the skin through a tiny incision. Most patients describe minimal discomfort — the numbing ensures you feel little more than light pressure during the procedure itself.
-
The pellet begins releasing bioidentical hormones immediately after insertion. You won't feel a dramatic shift overnight — the process is gradual by design, mirroring your body's natural hormone delivery. Most patients begin noticing improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within three to four weeks. Full hormonal optimization typically takes a few months.
-
Each pellet lasts approximately three to six months, depending on how quickly your body absorbs it. We schedule follow-up labs and check-ins to monitor your levels and adjust your protocol as needed. This is a long-term wellness relationship, not a one-time transaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
The area is numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure, so most patients feel little more than mild pressure during the insertion. Any soreness afterward is typically minor and resolves within a day or two.
Does the pellet insertion hurt?
1
Most patients notice early improvements in energy and sleep within three to four weeks. Mood, libido, and body composition changes typically become more apparent over the following two to three months. Full optimization can take up to six months as your body adjusts to balanced hormone levels.
How soon will I feel results?
2
A single pellet lasts approximately three to six months, depending on your metabolism and how quickly your body absorbs it. We monitor your levels throughout and re-pellet before your levels drop too low.
How long does one pellet last?

Does Biote help with weight loss?
4
Hormonal imbalance — particularly low estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone — can make fat loss extremely difficult regardless of diet and exercise. Restoring optimal hormone levels supports healthy metabolism and can make stubborn weight, especially around the abdomen, significantly more responsive to your efforts. For patients pursuing medical weight loss at BSE, BHRT is often a foundational piece of the plan.
Is bioidentical the same as synthetic hormone therapy?
5
No. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. Synthetic hormones used in conventional HRT have a different molecular structure, which is associated with higher risk profiles. BHRT is designed to work with your body, not around it.
Is Biote available for men?
6
Yes. Testosterone decline in men — often called andropause — causes many of the same symptoms women experience: fatigue, weight gain, mood shifts, low libido, and reduced muscle mass. We offer a men's hormone optimization program designed specifically for that experience.
Can I work out after my pellet insertion?
7
For the first 72 hours after insertion, you’ll want to avoid strenuous lower-body exercise — no heavy squats, deadlifts, or intense leg work. This gives the insertion site time to heal properly and reduces the risk of the pellet shifting before it settles. Light walking is fine.
