What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

• As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones liketestosterone and estrogen they produce.

• Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function – such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more.

• When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms.

• Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms, using compounded ormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.

The Biote Method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

• The Biote Method of hormone optimization is the result of condensing over 80 years of scientific research into a program that may help with the earliest signs of aging.

• The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone optimization. Your Chicago provider at ReAlignMed inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure.

• The pellets will then dissolve slowly over time – they only need to be re-administered approximately every 3-5 months, depending on the patient.

• As the pellets dissolve, they release a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream, which your body will then use as it needs. Over time, the pellets will be completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a vasodilator, regulating blood vessel dilation and facilitating blood flow by relaxing smooth muscle cells within vessel walls. This property has profound implications for maintaining healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular function.

When testosterone decreases, it can interfere with many facets of a mans life and have a negative impact on their health. Some symptoms may be mild while others can be more severe and debilitating. Low testosterone levels, also known as andropause, may increase the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and erectile dysfunction (ED). Testosterone replacement therapy and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help to maintain optimal levels of hormones through compounded solutions tailored to men’s specific needs.

How Are Testosterone Levels Checked?

There are several components to testing testosterone levels. Typically, it begins by self-reporting from the patient that they are experiencing symptoms associated with declining testosterone. The physician will complete a medical history form, physical exam, questionnaire, and blood test of the patient to assess their physical and mental symptoms and determine hormone levels. A blood test will check for both inactive and active testosterone levels.

Your labs from ReAlignMed® will include a variety of lab tests that will help guide us accordingly.

We want to have the most in-depth information so we can give you the most in-depth solutions. Based on your lab results our medical staff will decide if TRT is right for you.
