BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE
REPLACEMENT THERAPY (BHRT)
Balance Restored Naturally
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy For Men and Women
Hormonal imbalance doesn't just make you feel off—it can steal your energy, cloud your thinking, disrupt your sleep, and diminish the quality of your life. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, dealing with age-related hormone decline, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) offers a path back to balance.
Using Biote subcutaneous pellets, we deliver consistent, plant-based hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body naturally produces. No synthetic substitutes, no daily pills, no hormone roller coaster—just sustained relief that helps you reclaim your vitality, clarity, and confidence.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones derived from natural plant sources that are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces. Unlike synthetic hormone replacement, which uses chemically altered compounds, bioidentical hormones replicate the exact structure of human estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone—meaning your body recognizes and utilizes them as if they were your own.
At 515 Wellness, we offer BHRT using the Biote Method—a subcutaneous pellet delivery system that provides consistent hormone levels throughout the day without the peaks and valleys that come with pills, patches, or creams. These tiny pellets (smaller than a grain of rice) are custom-compounded specifically for you based on comprehensive lab work and your unique hormone needs.
Why Bioidentical Matters:
Because bioidentical hormones match your body's natural hormone structure, they work with your chemistry instead of disrupting it. This can mean fewer side effects and more effective symptom relief compared to synthetic alternatives. Your body knows what to do with these hormones because they're biologically identical to what it's been producing since puberty.
How Biote Pellet Therapy Works
The Biote Method uses tiny, custom-compounded pellets inserted just beneath the skin (subcutaneously) in the upper buttock area. Once inserted, these pellets release a steady, consistent stream of bioidentical hormones directly into your bloodstream—mimicking the way healthy ovaries and testicles naturally release hormones.
Why Pellets Instead of Pills or Creams?
-
Pellets provide steady hormone release 24/7 for 3-6 months, avoiding the "roller coaster effect" of fluctuating hormone levels that comes with daily pills, patches, or creams. No more peaks that make you feel great for a few hours followed by crashes that bring symptoms rushing back.
-
Just 2-4 pellet insertions per year. No daily pills to remember, no nightly creams to apply, no weekly patches to change. Once your pellet is inserted, you're done for months.
-
Hormones are released directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system (which can destroy up to 90% of oral hormones) and avoiding inconsistent absorption from topical applications.
-
Every pellet is customized to your exact hormone needs based on extensive lab work. The dosage is calculated specifically for your body, weight, symptoms, and hormone levels—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
-
All Biote pellets are compounded in FDA-regulated U.S. facilities and tested for potency, sterility, and safety. You're getting pharmaceutical-grade precision with every insertion.
The pellet gradually dissolves and is completely absorbed by your body over 3-6 months, leaving nothing behind. When hormone levels begin to decline, you simply return for your next insertion.
Who Benefits From BHRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can transform quality of life for both women and men experiencing hormonal imbalance. If you're dealing with any of these symptoms, BHRT may be right for you:
-
Age-related testosterone decline (andropause)
Chronic fatigue and low energy
Decreased muscle mass and strength
Increased body fat (especially abdominal)
Low libido or erectile dysfunction
Mood changes, irritability, or depression
Mental fog and difficulty focusing
Sleep problems
Decreased motivation and drive
Loss of confidence

Perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause symptoms
Hot flashes and night sweats
Persistent fatigue and low energy
Weight gain (especially around midsection)
Loss of libido or sexual dysfunction
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Sleep disturbances or insomnia
Vaginal dryness or discomfort
Loss of muscle tone
Thinning hair or dry skin
Hormonal imbalance doesn't just affect how you feel physically—it impacts your relationships, your work performance, your mood, and your overall sense of wellbeing. BHRT addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Customized Treatment Options
we offer multiple delivery methods for bioidentical hormone replacement, with Biote pellet therapy as our primary recommendation for optimal results. Jenny will work with you to determine the best approach based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and preferences.
-
Our preferred delivery system for consistent, long-lasting results. Pellets are inserted in a quick, in-office procedure and provide steady hormone release for 3-6 months. Most effective for sustained symptom relief and hormone optimization.
Hormone Options Available:
Testosterone - For both men and women. Critical for energy, libido, muscle maintenance, mental clarity, and overall vitality
Estrogen (Estradiol) - Primarily for women. Essential for reproductive health, bone density, heart health, brain function, and managing menopausal symptoms
Progesterone - For women. Balances estrogen, supports mood stability, aids sleep, and protects uterine health
-
For patients who prefer non-pellet options or need supplemental hormone support between pellet insertions:
Creams - Topical application absorbed through skin
Injections - Intramuscular delivery for more immediate effect
Oral - ideal for those who prefer non-injectable methods.
Every treatment plan is completely customized to your individual needs based on comprehensive lab work, symptom assessment, and your body's response to therapy. This isn't cookie-cutter hormone replacement—it's precision medicine tailored to you.
What Results Can I Expect?
Every patient's experience with BHRT is unique, but here's what many report after achieving hormone optimization:
-
Restored energy and vitality that lasts throughout the day
Improved sleep quality and easier time falling asleep
Weight loss (especially stubborn midsection fat) becomes easier
Increased muscle tone and strength
Enhanced libido and improved sexual function
Clearer, more radiant skin
Thicker, healthier hair
Stronger bones and protection against osteoporosis
Reduced hot flashes and night sweats (women)
-
Mental clarity and sharper cognitive function
Improved memory and concentration
Stable, balanced mood
Reduced anxiety and depression
Better stress management
Increased motivation and drive
Enhanced sense of overall wellbeing
Some patients report feeling initial improvements within days to weeks, but full hormone optimization typically takes 4-6 months. Many patients experience the most dramatic benefits after their second pellet insertion when hormone levels have had time to stabilize and optimize.
The goal isn't just symptom management—it's helping you feel like yourself again. Energized, clear-headed, confident, and fully present in your life.
Patient Results
“Because of hormone therapy, my mood is more stable, my energy levels are higher, and my libido is increased. Getting my hormone levels stable has enabled me to lose weight more easily. Hormone therapy in conjunction with Tirzepatide injections for weight loss has been life-changing for me. With Jenny's support, encouragement, patience, and guidance, I finally feel like the person I've always wanted to be. I'm starting to love my body because I feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally. Anyone who wants to overhaul their life for the better should meet with Jenny to discuss hormone therapy and weight loss shots. They will not be disappointed. Jenny is the absolute best!”
“Before starting the hormone replacement I was exhausted all the time, had zero sex drive, and was having awful hot flashes. It has been about 6 months since I began hormone therapy and to say it has changed my life seems like an understatement. The hot flashes are gone, I am no longer exhausted every day and my sex drive has increased immensely.”
“Jen, you are my go-to gal for skin care and HRT! So glad I found you! I feel great and am so happy with my appearance, energy, and mood! I'll continue to recommend you to my friends!”

BHRT Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Bioidentical hormones have been extensively studied and used safely for decades. Because they're molecularly identical to your body's natural hormones, they work with your chemistry rather than disrupting it. All Biote pellets are compounded in FDA-regulated U.S. facilities and rigorously tested for potency, sterility, and safety. Jenny monitors your hormone levels closely through regular lab work to ensure safe, optimal dosing.
-
Synthetic hormones are chemically altered versions that don't match your body's natural hormone structure. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to human hormones. Your body recognizes bioidentical hormones as its own, which typically means better results with fewer side effects compared to synthetic alternatives.
-
The insertion site is numbed with local anesthetic before the procedure, so most patients feel minimal discomfort—just slight pressure during insertion. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes. Some patients experience minor soreness at the insertion site for a day or two, similar to a bruise.
-
Pellets typically last 3-6 months depending on your individual factors like gender, weight, activity level, and how quickly your body metabolizes hormones. Women generally need pellet replacement every 3-4 months, while men's pellets often last 5-6 months.
-
Yes, but with some temporary restrictions. Avoid strenuous lower body exercise for 3-5 days after insertion. Walking is fine immediately. After the bandage is removed, you can resume all normal activities including intense workouts and swimming.
-
If you stop hormone replacement therapy, your hormone levels will gradually return to their pre-treatment state over several months as the pellet is fully absorbed. Symptoms you experienced before treatment may return. Many patients choose to continue BHRT long-term because of the significant quality of life improvements they experience.
-
Most patients begin noticing symptom relief within 2-4 weeks as hormone levels stabilize. Full optimization may take 4-6 months, and many patients report feeling the most dramatic benefits after their second pellet insertion. Patience is key—you're rebalancing your entire hormonal system, not applying a quick fix.
