Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment that utilizes processed (artificial) hormones derived from plants that are similar to the hormones produced by the body.

What are the Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance?
Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by the endocrine glands. These messengers travel to organs and tissues through the bloodstream, affecting growth, metabolism, reproduction, sexual function, and mood. When the body's hormones are imbalanced, individuals can experience reduced mental focus, low energy, depression and anxiety, weight gain (particularly around the mid-section), muscle or joint pain, decreased muscle strength, reduced sexual desire, and difficulty sleeping at night.
How Does Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?
Trophy Club Family Medicine in Trophy Club, TX, uses BioTE, a leading innovator in preventative medicine and optimization. In Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr. Yi or Dr. Lansford will give the patient a blood test to determine the levels of hormones in the body and design a personalized treatment dose to help restore and replenish hormones. During Replacement Therapy, tiny hormone pellets are inserted subcutaneously under the skin, which releases all-natural bio-identical estrogen and testosterone. This process ensures that the hormones are absorbed continuously and consistently into the body.
