Prevent & Treat Osteoporosis with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Take the first step to bone health
How Hormones Affect Bone Health
Low estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause is directly related to bone loss and osteoporosis. If not treated, it can lead to such issues as increased risk of fractures, loss of height, and many more.
Bone health depends on the balance of two types of cells - osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts break down bone tissue for later re-absorption, while osteoblasts develop new bone. As our estrogen gets reduced with age and due to environmental factors, osteoclasts (bone breaking cells) become more active and we start losing more bone than we produce. In addition to maintaining balance between the two types of cells, estrogen also ensures that female bodies absorbs and retains calcium efficiently.
The direct link between optimal estrogen and levels and bone health makes hormone replacement therapy a proven tool for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Start by discussing your symptoms with a physician trained in hormone therapy and request a comprehensive blood test to determine your hormone levels.
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (aka BHRT)?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is prescribed specifically to return the hormones women and men lose over the course of their lives to optimal levels. The ‘bio-identical’ part means that molecular structure of hormones used in this type of therapy is identical to the hormones a human body produces naturally. As we age, our hormones (such as estrogen and testosterone in women and testosterone in men) decline, which results in a wide range of health issues that millions of us struggle with every day. For example, did you know that hormone imbalance is associated with issues like weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, decreased cognitive function, mood swings, loss of sex drive and more? But that’s just part of aging, right? Wrong! Aging should not mean ‘suffering’ and there is a solution. That solution is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (or BHRT for short).

How HealthLogicMD Hormone Therapy Works
Here at HealthLogicMD, we have partnered with BioTE Medical - the #1 source of bio-identical hormone treatment - to provide BHRT in the form of subcutaneous pellets that are custom dosed for each patient. Read more below to find out BHRT works and what to expect when you visit our clinic.
- Initial In-Office ConsultationEverything starts with a visit to our clinic, during which, you will meet with our BioTE Ceritified BHRT specialists and with Dr. Trey herself. During that appointment, we will learn about your symptoms and medical history and carry out a thorough blood work panel to accurately determine if you are a candidate for BHRT pellet therapy. We know you will have questions too, so we will answer any questions you may have about BHRT right then and there.01
- Reviewing Results & Pellet InsertionOnce your blood work results are processed (usually takes about 1 week) and the doctor reviews them with you, a quick follow-up appointment will be scheduled for your pellet insertion procedure. The procedure itself usually takes 20-30 minutes and is completely painless.02
- You Feel The ResultsIn the case of estrogen pellets, most of our patients start seeing the results in 3-4 days, while testosterone pellets take about 7-10 days to start working. In either case, within 1-2 weeks of the procedure, you will start enjoying the health and wellness benefits of hormone replacement.03
- Follow-up AppointmentWithin 6 weeks of pellet insertion, you will come in for another quick appointment with the doctor. The aim of that appointment is to ensure your improvements are progressing as intended and to do another quick blood test done.04
- Repeat InsertionFemale patients only need to be pelleted 2-3 times per year, so your next appointment will be set for a few months in the future. In the meantime, enjoy your new energy, drive and wellbeing!05
