HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY CANDIDACY
Hormone depletion is a naturally occurring consequence of aging. As such, many women and men over the age of 35 suffer from some level of hormonal imbalance. A helpful way to determine if hormone therapy can alleviate your symptoms of aging and help you feel like a younger version of yourself is by taking the quiz below.
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR MEN
Testosterone levels in men decrease with age, beginning in the 30s. This is known as andropause and is characterized by the depletion of testosterone. Low testosterone is also more common in men of all ages who are overweight or have diabetes. In addition, factors such as high blood pressure, antidepressant medications, and damage to the testicles can also contribute to low testosterone.
Low Testosterone (Low T) impairs the way a man looks, feels, and performs. Symptoms of low T in men include hair loss, loss of muscle mass, impaired sexual function, impaired work performance, impaired cognitive ability, poor sleep, poor mood or depression, increased risk of disease, and a higher mortality rate.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR WOMEN
Hormonal imbalance in women can happen at any age. However, it is most prevalent in women over the age of 35 as they undergo perimenopause and menopause. A significant portion of “age-related” issues that plague women can be attributed to depleting hormone levels, specifically depleted oestrogen (estrogen,) progesterone, and even testosterone.
Hormonal imbalance can significantly impair your standard of living and make you feel much older than you are. Symptoms of hormone imbalance in women include trouble sleeping, weight gain, hair loss or hair thinning, vaginal dryness and atrophy, painful intercourse, hot flashes or night sweats, thinning skin, fine lines and wrinkles, cognitive impairment or poor memory, increased risk of disease, and a higher mortality rate.

HOW MUCH DOES HRT COST?

WHAT ARE BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) utilizes hormones that are chemically identical to testosterone, estrogen, or other hormones produced by the body. Because Bioidentical hormones share the same molecular makeup of our own hormones, many people refer to BHRT as natural hormone therapy.
BHRT WITH BIOTE
To ensure patients receive the highest quality treatment during their Hormone therapy, Dr. Tajkarimi provides BHRT using pellets from BioTE Medical. The renowned medical training company is an industry leader in hormone optimization, and the only nutraceutical line explicitly formulated to improve hormone health.
HORMONE PELLET THERAPY
Hormones may be administered via injections, topical creams, transdermal patches, or hormone pellets. Most hormone specialists recommend hormone pellets above other methods of administration. Pellets consist of a bioidentical hormone, concentrated down to a pellet the size of a tic-tac. The pellets are specially designed to slowly release a consistent amount of hormone over a prolonged time. Typically, pellets last between 3 to 5 months.
Pellets provide a better delivery system than other methods of HRT and TRT in several ways.
- Fast, painless procedure
- No downtime
- Convenient (no injections, gels, patches, or creams to deal with)
- Consistent release of hormones
- Customized dosing
- Long-lasting effect
- Requires fewer office visits
Before your Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr. Tajkarimi performs a blood test to customize your hormone pellet towards your specific needs. Once formulated, Dr. Tajkarimi implants the pellet subcutaneously (beneath the fatty layer of skin) near the hip. Local anesthetic ensures the placement of the implant is comfortable and pain-free. The procedure typically takes 15-minutes to complete.

It can even help improve blood sugar regulation. In addition, this therapy also reduces the risks of heart disease, stroke, and even diabetes. Women receiving bioidentical estrogens benefit from alleviating specific menopausal side effects, including depression and insomnia.
WHO SHOULDN’T TAKE BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES?
If you’ve had or are at high risk for certain health conditions including a blood clotting disorder, heart or cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, or stroke, this therapy may not be suitable for you.
As with any hormone therapy, the decision is best made between you and a health care provider. During your consultation with Dr. Tajkarimi, you can speak in-depth about your medical history to determine if hormone therapy is suitable for you.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES TO START WORKING?
The time it takes for your bioidentical hormone therapy to begin working will vary.* Some people may feel improvements and mild relief within a few weeks of beginning the therapy. However, most of the time, it takes about 3-4 months to feel the full effects of any hormone replacement therapy.
ARE BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES SAFE?
The FDA-approved bioidentical hormones have been tested for safety. As a result, they have passed the FDA’s strict standards and are considered safe for use.
CAN I TAKE TRT IF I PLAN ON HAVING KIDS?

CAN TRT HELP WITH HAIR LOSS?
Yes, testosterone replacement therapy can help prevent further hair loss caused by low testosterone. However, it cannot treat hair loss or restore lost hair.
