Quick Links: Introduction | Symptoms of Imbalance | Process | Nutraceuticals | Contact
As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce. These hormones are important for many different parts of your body such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more. When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of negative symptoms.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method for restoring hormone balance and helping to relieve these symptoms. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. This is important because your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.
White Lotus Wellness is a Biote Certified Provider in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Biote is the nation's largest hormone replacement and optimization company. White Lotus Wellness has chosen to partner with Biote because they are the only company that is actively contributing to furthering the science behind hormone optimization.
The process starts with analyzing each patient's symptoms and lab results to create customized dosing for a unique and personalized treatment plan. Learn more below.
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance
As we mentioned above, hormone balance plays a very important role in men and women. As men and women age, these hormone levels decrease. Most women see a significant drop in estrogen and testosterone during menopause. Many men experience a similar phenomenon relating to testosterone, which is 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.

The Biote Hormone Balancing Process
Getting started with hormone optimization is easy!
- Contact us at White Lotus Wellness today to discuss if you may be a good candidate for hormone optimization – you will fill out a simple health assessment and schedule blood work to evaluate your current hormone levels.
- Your Biote Certified Provider will review your lab results with you and develop a personalized care plan based on your results and health goals. Most people see results after their first round of pellets, however it many take up to two pellet insertions before experiencing their desired results.
- The Biote Method uses pellets, which are about the size of a grain of rice, for hormone optimization. Your White Lotus Wellness Biote Certified Provider will inserts these tiny pellets under the skin during a simple, in-office procedure.
- The pellets 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.
