Balancing Your Hormones, Reclaiming Your Life: The Power of Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy

What Is Biote Hormone Replacement Therapy?

As we age, hormonal imbalances can disrupt nearly every part of life—energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and even mental clarity. Biote is a leading method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses customized, plant-based hormone pellets to restore balance and improve quality of life.

At Potomac Shores Mental Health and Wellness, we offer Biote BHRT to help both men and women feel like themselves again—naturally, safely, and effectively.

Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

You may benefit from Biote therapy if you are experiencing:

Fatigue or lack of motivation
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Mood swings or irritability
Weight gain despite diet and exercise
Low libido or sexual dysfunction
Hot flashes or night sweats
Insomnia or disrupted sleep
Anxiety or mild depression not fully responsive to meds

These symptoms are common in perimenopause, menopause, and andropause, and they are often misdiagnosed as purely psychological. That’s why our team evaluates hormonal health as part of your total wellness plan.

Why Biote?

Unlike synthetic hormone therapies, Biote uses bioidentical hormones that closely mimic those your body naturally produces. This results in:

More consistent absorption (pellets release hormones steadily over time)
Fewer side effects
Longer-lasting relief (pellets typically last 3–6 months)
Customized dosing based on lab work and your unique needs

We use Biote because it is research-backed, FDA-compliant, and focused on whole-patient wellness.
