The revitalizing role of estrogen in female wellness
Hormones, such as estrogen, are chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands that regulate various functions in the body. In women, estrogen plays a crucial role in controlling reproductive processes, maintaining bone density, and influencing mood. It works by binding to estrogen receptors in tissues and triggering changes that support menstrual cycles, fertility, and overall health. Hormonal balance is essential for optimal functioning, and imbalances can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue.
Symptoms of hormone imbalance in women:
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Fatigue and low energy levels
- Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
- Sleep disturbances or insomnia
- Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
- Hair loss or thinning
- Memory issues or difficulty concentrating
- Decreased bone density or osteoporosis
How hormone imbalance affects women
Hormone imbalances in women can lead to a range of symptoms and health issues. Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels can cause irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. Additionally, imbalances can result in fatigue, weight gain, and sleep disturbances. Long-term imbalances may also affect bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis. Addressing these imbalances through hormone therapy can alleviate symptoms and help restore overall health, improving quality of life and well-being.
What is women’s hormone therapy?
Women’s hormone therapy addresses hormonal imbalances and alleviates symptoms related to menopause, thyroid disorders, and other hormonal issues. It involves using hormones like estrogen to restore balance and manage symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we offer Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and hormone pellet therapy to ensure effective symptom relief and improve your quality of life.
Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones derived from plant sources that are chemically identical to those produced by the body. This helps to restore hormonal balance by mimicking natural hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The therapy is administered through small pellets inserted under the skin, which provide a steady and consistent release of hormones over several months. Biote therapy helps alleviate symptoms of menopause and hormonal imbalances, offering a natural and effective solution for maintaining well-being.
Hormone pellet therapy
Hormone pellet therapy involves the insertion of tiny hormone pellets beneath the skin, usually in the hip area. These pellets release a precise, consistent amount of hormones over time, helping to address symptoms related to menopause and other hormonal imbalances. This method provides a long-lasting and convenient way to manage hormone levels, reducing the need for frequent dosing. Hormone pellet therapy helps improve symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue, supporting overall health and quality of life.
Benefits of women’s hormone therapy:
- Relieves symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats
- Reduces mood swings, anxiety, and depression
- Enhances energy levels and combats fatigue
- Improves sleep quality and reduces insomnia
- Supports weight management and reduces abdominal fat
- Increases libido and improves sexual function

What to expect from your women’s hormone therapy experience
During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels to determine if hormone therapy is suitable for you. We will discuss your specific needs and goals and explain the different options available, such as Biote bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and hormone pellet therapy.
Once we identify the best approach, HRT will be administered based on the chosen method. Generally speaking, the procedure involves inserting a small grain-sized hormone pellet underneath the skin via a small incision. This can be done during a simple in-office session under local anesthesia. The pellet will provide a steady release of hormones over 3 to 6 months. We monitor your progress to ensure optimal results.
