Traditional Family Medicine

BioTE Hormone Therapy
- Best Care Community and Family Health Center is a Biote Certified Provider with offices in Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Immokalee, and Belle Glade, FL
- Biote is the nation’s largest hormone optimization company and has been in business for over 12 years.
- Biote has translated more than 80 years of scientific insight into the foundation of the Biote Method, which identifies and aims to help with the earliest signs of aging.
- We at Best Care Community and Family Health Center have chosen to partner with Biote because we believe our patients deserve the best – Biote is one of the only hormone optimization companies actively contributing to furthering the science behind hormone optimization.
- We work with each of our patients on an ongoing basis to analyze their symptoms and lab results using customized dosing to develop a unique, personalized treatment plan for each patient.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
- As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone 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 hormones 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 provider at Best Care Community & Family Health Center 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, and will ultimately be completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
The Importance of Hormone Balance
- Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause, while many men may experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, known as andropause.
- Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream.
- Hormones are important for regulating most major bodily processes. Because of their essential role in the body, even the smallest hormonal imbalance can cause side effects throughout the body.

People experiencing symptoms of fatigue, decreased sexual libido, vaginal dryness, irritability, insomnia, difficulty in losing weight, and anxiety.
Biote Certified Providers receive training on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the form of subcutaneous pellets. These pellets are inserted into the fatty tissue of the upper buttocks area during an in-office visit after lab testing is done to determine the exact quantity of the hormone the patient requires. Every dose is customized based on a consultation and extensive lab work to ensure a patient receives the exact concentration of hormones needed.

Estrogen pellets are primarily used to combat the effects of menopause. Studies have shown that estrogen may also help relieve some symptoms associated with mood, bone density, and heart health.
Pellets last up to three to six months depending on gender, weight, absorption rates, and the amount of deficiency or surplus of hormones present within the patient at the time of insertion. Pellets are reinserted between two to four times per year to help keep hormones optimized and balanced and may take up to two insertions before feeling the full benefits.
Testosterone is a hormone normally found in both men and women that is responsible for many critical body processes. Testosterone is produced in the testes and ovaries, and deficiencies can occur in men and women as the body ages.
Estrogen is a hormone that possesses many functions and occurs in the bodies of both men and women. In women, estrogen is commonly associated with reproduction—it prompts the menstrual cycle and develops the female body’s secondary sex characteristics. However, in both sexes, estrogen is responsible for many facets of bone health, cholesterol metabolism, and the thickness and collagen content of the skin.
