How to Know if You Need BioTE®

Hormone imbalances tend to become an issue for both men and women as they get older, throwing a wrench in day-to-day activities and overall enjoyment of life. Nurse practitioner Linda Spencer and the team at Spencer Wellness Centre are excited to offer a game-changing solution for those suffering from hormonal issues: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with BioTE.

If you're feeling sluggish, irritable, "foggy," or just not like your usual self, you might be a good candidate for hormone pellet therapy at our Indianapolis, IN practice.

Who is BioTE intended for?

BioTE is for both men and women who notice their hormone levels aren't what they used to be, affecting how they feel day in and day out. Whether you're navigating the challenges of menopause, dealing with andropause (the male version of menopause), or just at a point where your body's hormones seem to be off-kilter, BioTE could be exactly what you need to get back on track.

What can cause a hormonal imbalance?

Hormonal imbalances can occur due to any number of factors. It could be stress, an underactive or overactive thyroid, or even lifestyle choices and diet playing a part. Aging also plays a significant role, as hormone levels tend to naturally drop with the onset of middle age. Understanding these triggers is the first step in recognizing if you might need a little extra help with BHRT.

What are some signs that I might benefit from BHRT?

The best way to find out if you're a good candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement is to schedule a consultation at our Indianapolis, IN office. There are a few telltale signs that you might notice on your own, however:

  • Constant feelings of fatigue, no matter how much you sleep
  • Drastic mood swings
  • Unexplained weight changes
  • Hot flashes
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Loss of mental focus
  • High cholesterol

These signs are just a few of the symptoms of menopause or andropause. If they sound familiar, BHRT might just be the answer you're looking for.

How long does it take to see results from hormone pellet therapy?

Most BioTE patients start to notice improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting their treatment, but the full results can take months to unfold. With regular maintenance treatments and follow-up appointments at Spencer Wellness Centre, you can enjoy the lasting benefits of BHRT.
