Hormone optimization starts with listening closely, reviewing the full clinical picture, and determining whether treatment may be appropriate for you—not with a one-size-fits-all promise.
Personalized information before any treatment decision.
Hormone therapy is considered only after an individualized evaluation. The conversation includes what may be contributing to your concerns, whether testing is appropriate, and which options—not only pellet therapy—should be considered.
Goal of care
Optimization with clinical context.
The goal of hormone optimization is to identify whether hormonal factors may be contributing to your concerns and, when clinically appropriate, create an individualized treatment and monitoring plan based on your history, symptoms, laboratory findings, priorities, and overall health.
What BHRT means
Structurally similar hormones.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, uses hormones that are structurally similar to hormones naturally present in the body. “Bioidentical” describes molecular structure; it does not mean treatment is automatically appropriate, risk-free, or guaranteed to produce a particular result.
What to expect
History, symptoms, labs, then options.
Your visit begins with a detailed consultation. Your clinician reviews your medical history, current symptoms, medications, risk factors, and health goals, then uses comprehensive laboratory testing to inform candidacy and individualized dosing.
02 · The Biote Method
Subcutaneous hormone pellets for appropriate patients.
Allegiant Community Care offers the Biote Method, which uses subcutaneous hormone pellets as one possible form of bioidentical hormone therapy. Pellets are placed beneath the skin during a brief in-office procedure after consultation, laboratory review, candidacy assessment, and informed discussion.
Some patients may notice changes in about 2–4 weeks, but response varies. Full optimization can take longer and may require additional insertions or adjustments based on clinical follow-up.

03 · How to get started
Four deliberate steps. One individualized plan.
Each stage is designed to support informed decision-making, appropriate screening, and follow-up rather than a predetermined treatment outcome.
01
Consultation & history
Discuss symptoms, medical history, medications, priorities, and factors that may affect whether hormone therapy is appropriate.
02
Comprehensive labs
Complete clinician-selected laboratory testing so decisions are based on objective information alongside your symptoms and history.
03
Candidacy & options
Review results, potential benefits and risks, alternatives, costs, follow-up needs, and an individualized dosing approach if treatment is appropriate.
04
Treatment & monitoring
If you choose treatment, schedule the insertion visit and return for monitoring, reassessment, and adjustments when clinically indicated.
A consultation is for clarity—not a promise of treatment.
Not everyone is a candidate for hormone therapy or pellet insertion. Your clinician will review whether treatment may be appropriate and discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, anticipated costs, and recommended follow-up before you decide how to proceed.
Individual response varies.
Timing, response, dose needs, and follow-up differ from person to person. No specific clinical or quality-of-life outcome is promised.
