Hormone Therapy
Personalized Hormone Therapy for Women and Men
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, orchestrating everything from energy and metabolism to mood, sleep, and sexual health. When hormones are in balance, the body functions like a well-conducted symphony—each system working in harmony. When that balance is disrupted, even slightly, it can affect how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Hormone Therapy with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized medical approach designed to restore hormonal balance in both women and men, helping the body function more optimally and supporting long-term wellness.
BHRT uses hormones that are biologically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones closely mirror your body’s own chemistry, allowing for smoother integration and individualized dosing.
Hormone Therapy is tailored to each patient based on symptoms, lab results, lifestyle, and health goals. The goal is not to override the body, but to restore harmony within the hormonal system so you can feel and function at your best.
Carrington Medical is a Biote® Certified Provider. Biote developed a method that offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the form of subcutaneous pellets. With more than one million insertions performed in the company’s history, we’ve seen many lives changed with optimized bioidentical hormones.
Understanding Hormonal Imbalances & Their Impact
A hormonal imbalance is exactly what it sounds like, and is when there is a disproportion in the levels of hormones in your body, which could be caused by a wide variety of factors. The most common hormonal imbalances typically revolve around testosterone, estrogen, insulin, thyroid hormone, and others. While in some individuals these symptoms can be subtle or relatively mild, in others they can be debilitating and even lead to lasting effects like sleep disruption, weight gain, emotional instability, and lowered sexual desire.
Hormonal disruptions can occur for many reasons, including:
- Aging and natural life transitions (perimenopause, menopause, and andropause)
- Chronic stress
- Medical conditions or metabolic changes
- Lifestyle factors and environmental exposures
Even a single hormonal imbalance can create a ripple effect throughout the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms that often worsen over time if left unaddressed.
Why choose BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Many individuals seek hormone therapy because they no longer feel like themselves. Despite healthy habits, they may experience persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life, relationships, confidence, and overall well-being.
BHRT may be an appropriate option if you:
- Feel chronically fatigued or low in energy
- Struggle with sleep, mood changes, or mental clarity
- Notice changes in weight, metabolism, or muscle tone
- Experience decreased libido or sexual satisfaction
- Want a proactive, personalized approach to hormone health
Rather than masking symptoms, BHRT focuses on addressing the underlying hormonal shifts contributing to how you feel.
Core Components of BHRT
The hormones used in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) are derived from plant sources such as yams and soy, then carefully processed to be chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Because these hormones closely match your own, BHRT is designed to support more precise hormone balance and individualized treatment plans.
Common hormones addressed through BHRT may include:
Testosterone, which plays a role in energy, libido, muscle mass, and mood
Estrogen, essential for reproductive health, bone strength, and cardiovascular support
Progesterone, which helps regulate menstrual cycles, sleep, and mood balance
Thyroid hormones, critical for metabolism, temperature regulation, and energy levels
Insulin, which influences blood sugar regulation and metabolic health
Common Symptoms Hormone Therapy May Help Improve
While every treatment plan is individualized, BHRT is commonly used to help address symptoms such as:
Energy & Metabolism
- Persistent fatigue or low stamina
- Difficulty managing weight
- Reduced motivation or endurance
Sleep & Mood
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
- Feelings of depression or emotional imbalance
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Sexual Health
- Decreased libido or desire
- Changes in sexual performance or satisfaction
Physical & Long-Term Health
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Changes in muscle mass or strength
- Concerns about bone density and overall vitality
The Hormonal Symphony & Restoring Balance
Hormones move through the body like a carefully composed symphony, each one playing a distinct role in sustaining physical vitality, emotional balance, and mental clarity. When every hormone is in harmony, the body functions with ease and resilience. Over time, however, factors such as aging, stress, and health changes can disrupt this delicate rhythm. Even a single imbalance can echo throughout the body, creating a cascade of symptoms that affect overall well-being. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is designed to help restore this natural harmony by replenishing key hormones with bioidentical forms that align with the body’s own chemistry, supporting a smoother return to balance and renewed wellness.
Benefits of Hormone Therapy for Women
Hormonal changes, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can affect many areas of daily life. Bioidentical hormone therapy is designed to restore balance and help women feel more like themselves again. While every treatment plan is personalized, many women experience benefits such as:

Improved mood and emotional balance, helping reduce irritability, low mood, and feelings of overwhelm

Hormone therapy isn’t about reversing time—it’s about restoring balance and supporting your body through natural transitions, so you can feel well and thrive at every stage of life.
Benefits of Hormone Therapy for Men
Men experience natural hormonal changes over time, including gradual declines in testosterone and other key hormones. These shifts can affect energy, strength, mood, focus, and confidence.

The Carrington Medical Approach
At Carrington Medical, we believe hormone therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. Each person’s hormonal landscape is unique, and treatment plans should reflect that individuality.

Our personalized approach ensures every hormone therapy plan is thoughtfully designed around your specific needs and goals. If you’re noticing signs of hormonal imbalance and want expert guidance, we invite you to explore whether BHRT could be part of your wellness journey.

What Are Biote Pellets?
Biote pellets are plant-derived, bioidentical hormones (testosterone and estrogen) that are carefully inserted under the skin during a quick, in-office procedure. Once placed, the pellets gradually dissolve and deliver consistent hormone levels for several months.
Unlike creams, pills, or injections that can cause hormonal highs and lows, pellets provide continuous, stable hormone support.
Why Choose Pellet Therapy?
Patients often choose Biote® pellets because they offer:
- Steady hormone delivery without daily dosing
- Long-lasting results typically 3–4 months for women, 4–6 months for men
- Improved symptom control compared to topical or oral options
- Convenience no remembering daily medications
- Customized dosing based on lab work and individual needs
Are There Other Options?
While Biote® pellet therapy is an excellent option for many patients, it is not the only approach we offer. At Carrington Medical, we prescribe a full spectrum of hormone replacement options, including traditional prescription therapies and custom-compounded hormones when clinically appropriate or when a patient prefers a different delivery method.
Depending on your needs, goals, and medical history, hormone therapy may be delivered through pellets, creams, gels, patches, oral medications, or injections. Our priority is finding the safest, most effective, and most sustainable option for your body.
