What is Hormone Optimization?
LASTING TIME
As you age, your body starts producing less of key hormones like testosterone and estrogen. When those hormones are out of balance, it can cause a broad range of symptoms such as weight gain, hot flashes, low libido, poor sleep, mood swings, and more.
We are proud to be offering the Biote Method- identical hormone optimization therapy!
Hormonal imbalances may occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body
