Bio-Identical Hormonal Optimization for Women
Women start gradually losing estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in their early 30s. If left unaddressed, hormonal imbalance leads to a range of symptoms, such as fatigue, hot flashes, low sex drive, mental fog and much more. Read below to learn how you can regain your energetic, happy and healthy self with hormone replacement therapy. Want to find out if your hormones are at optimal levels?
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (aka BHRT)?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is prescribed specifically to return the hormones women 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 female body produces naturally. As women age, our hormones (such as estrogen and testosterone) 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 loss is associated with symptoms like weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, decreased cognitive function, mood swings, loss of sex drive and more? We used to be told that PMS is not real and that menopause and all of menopause-related symptoms are just ‘part of aging’ and thus are just to be lived with. However, today we know that doesn’t have to be our reality and that is where BHRT comes in. Explore the information below to learn more and contact us with any questions. We look forward to helping you regain your energy, health and wellbeing with BHRT.

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
