Hormone Health
When your body’s ability to produce hormones is disrupted—such as a natural decline with age—you may notice a difference in how you feel.* Click below to explore the signs and symptoms of a hormone imbalance.
With more than 4 million pellet insertions in our company’s history in over a decade, we have the knowledge and expertise to help integrate precision and preventive medicine at any certified clinic, regardless of specialty or patient demographic.
When it comes to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets, the Biote Method of pellet therapy is the preferred choice among more than 7,100 physicians.

Biote Certified
The pellets used by certified providers are identical to hormones found in the human body.
Women may experience all or none of these issues during menopause. Every woman is different, so what they may or may not go through will depend on their own biology. If you have found yourself dealing with these issues as a result of menopause, hormone replacement therapy may be able to help you.
Feel and look your best with the Biote Method. Using our subcutaneous pellet approach to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, some patients report feeling symptom relief in as little as several hours or up to four weeks, but full hormone optimization may take up to six months. May report feeling the most benefits after the second insertion. Biote Certified Providers customize each dose of pellet therapy to the patient’s needs. The BHRT pellets that Biote Certified Providers use are made to replicate the hormones men and women lose as they age.
Research has shown that pellet therapy has helped thousands of people feel their best and achieve hormonal balance. The Biote Method uses bioidentical hormone pellets which contain bioidentical testosterone or estrogen. The pellets are placed subcutaneously in the body and release a continuous stream of bioidentical hormones. Hormone replacement pellets dissolve and are absorbed into the body. With more than 4 million pellet insertions in our company’s history, our Biote Certified Providers personalize each dose based on extensive lab work.
Hormone Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy is not one-size-fits-all. At Primary Care El Paso, treatment is based on your symptoms, medical history, and where you are in the menopause cycle.
We look at your symptoms, treatment goals, and health history before recommending any therapy option.
HRT may be provided through pills, creams, a ring, tablets, or other options depending on your individual needs.
Your therapy plan depends on whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal.
The type of HRT you are given depends on where you are in the menopause cycle and your overall medical history. Our team helps determine the most appropriate option based on your needs, symptoms, and long-term health goals.
Women who suffer from blood clots (thrombosis), high blood pressure (hypertension), or breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer should not use it. Discussing HRT with your hypertension doctor is the first step in knowing whether it’s right for you.
At Primary Care El Paso, we may recommend hormone replacement therapy when patients are experiencing symptoms related to hormone imbalance, especially during menopause. These symptoms may include low energy, mood changes, poor sleep, mental fog, weight changes, and low libido. Our goal is to help you understand what may be causing these symptoms and whether hormone therapy is the right option for you.
Hormone replacement therapy is not the right fit for everyone, which is why we start with a personalized evaluation. We consider your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals before recommending any next step. On our service page, we explain that candidacy depends on your medical history, where you are in the menopause cycle, and the type of symptoms you are experiencing.
At Primary Care El Paso, our hormone replacement therapy page highlights bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, including the Biote Method of pellet therapy. We also explain that HRT may be given in different forms depending on the patient, including pills, creams, rings, tablets, or pellets. We personalize treatment based on your needs and medical history.
Every patient responds differently, but some patients may start noticing symptom relief within several hours to a few weeks. According to our service page, full hormone optimization may take longer and in some cases may take up to six months. Because each treatment plan is personalized, we focus on steady progress and ongoing follow-up rather than a one-size-fits-all timeline.
Hormone replacement therapy may not be recommended for everyone. On our page, we note that women with a history of blood clots, high blood pressure, or certain cancers such as breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer may not be eligible. That is why we always recommend discussing your full medical history with our team before starting treatment.
Getting started begins with a consultation at Primary Care El Paso. We use that visit to review your symptoms, discuss your health history, and determine whether hormone replacement therapy may be appropriate for you. If you are dealing with menopause-related symptoms or signs of hormone imbalance, our team can help you explore your options and decide on the next step.
