Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
At Sage Healing Collective, we offer personalized Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT) to support optimal wellness, vitality, and long-term health. Hormones play a critical role in regulating energy, metabolism, mood, sleep, libido, and overall well-being. As we age, imbalances can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, poor sleep, and other disruptive symptoms.
Our experienced practitioners take an individualized approach to hormone care, offering multiple evidence-based treatment options—including but not limited to BioTe® pellet therapy—so your plan truly fits your body and lifestyle.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
Bioidentical hormones are plant-based hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by your body. This allows for improved compatibility, absorption, and balance compared to synthetic hormones.
We offer bioidentical hormones through a variety of delivery methods, including:
Pellets
Transdermal creams or patches
Injectables
Oral medications
Your provider will help determine the most appropriate option based on your symptoms, lab results, preferences, and health history.
BioTe® Pellet Therapy
BioTe® is a well-established form of bHRT that uses tiny, custom-compounded pellets placed just beneath the skin. These pellets release consistent hormone levels over time, helping to reduce the peaks and valleys that can occur with some other delivery methods.
Potential benefits may include:
Increased energy and mental clarity
Improved mood and emotional balance
Enhanced libido and sexual health
Better sleep and metabolic support
Support for bone density and cardiovascular health
Pellet therapy is one effective option—but not the only one. Our goal is to match you with the therapy that best supports your unique physiology and lifestyle.
Pharmacy Options & Personalized Care
We believe in flexibility and collaboration. Depending on your treatment plan, prescriptions can be:
Sent to your pharmacy of choice, or
Filled through the practitioner’s preferred compounding pharmacy
This allows us to ensure quality, consistency, and accessibility while honoring patient preference.
Is bHRT Right for You?
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, weight gain, low libido, or sleep disturbances, bioidentical hormone therapy may offer meaningful support. Your provider will begin with comprehensive lab testingand a thorough consultation to create a personalized, thoughtful treatment plan.
Experience Hormonal Balance
At Sage Healing Collective, hormone therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Whether pellets, creams, patches, injectables, or oral medications—or a combination—we are here to guide you toward balance, vitality, and feeling like yourself again.

THE PROCESS
STEP ONE : BLOODWORK
In order to determine if you are a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement, we need laboratory information and your intake forms. We will evaluate your information prior to your consultation to determine what mode of hormone therapy or if the Biote Method of hormone replacement therapy can help you live a healthier life. PLEASE NOTE: It takes 10-14 days for lab results to be completed.
OPTIONS FOR BLOODWORK:
Make a BLOOD DRAW ONLY appointment at Sage with Dr. Amanda. This appointment is best done in the morning hours and YOU MUST BE FASTED. If you take Thyroid Medications you should take that in the morning on an empty stomach and then schedule blood draw 4-5 hours after taking meds.
Previous labs done within 3 months are acceptable. If you are missing any lab tests from the list below, schedule a BLOOD DRAW ONLY appointment for Dr Amanda to run any missing labs. Please send lab reports to medical@sagehealingcollective.com or fax 331.214.8087.
You can get labs done by your primary doctor. If your primary doctor does not run all labs listed below, schedule a BLOOD DRAW ONLY appointment for Dr Amanda to run any missing labs.
