Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT) with BioTe®

At Sage Healing Collective, we offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (bHRT) using BioTe® to support optimal wellness and vitality. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating energy levels, metabolism, mood, sleep, and overall well-being. As we age, hormone imbalances can lead to fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low libido, and other frustrating symptoms.

What is BioTe®?

BioTe® is a leading method of bHRT that uses plant-based, bioidentical hormones designed to mimic the body’s natural chemistry. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to those produced by the body, allowing for better absorption and fewer side effects.

Benefits of BioTe® Pellet Therapy

BioTe® uses tiny, custom-compounded pellets inserted just under the skin, where they release consistent hormone levels over time. This method eliminates the fluctuations seen with pills, creams, or injections. Benefits may include:
✔ Increased energy and mental clarity
✔ Improved mood and reduced anxiety or depression
✔ Enhanced libido and sexual health
✔ Better sleep and balanced metabolism
✔ Support for bone density and heart health

Is BioTe® Right for You?

If you're experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, or trouble sleeping, BioTe® may be a natural and effective solution. Our providers at Sage Healing Collective will assess your hormone levels through comprehensive lab testing and create a personalized plan to restore balance and well-being.

THE PROCESS


STEP ONE : BLOODWORK 

In order to determine if you are a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement, we need laboratory information and your lifestyle medicine intake forms.  We will evaluate your information prior to your consultation to determine 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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. If you would like to use your health insurance for lab work, email Dr Amanda at medical@sagehealingcollective.com for a script to take to a local draw center. Please note the cost of labs done at a draw center maybe 3-4x greater than the cash prices listed at Sage Healing Collective.
