What Is BioTE?
The Biote method uses bioidentical hormone pellet therapy. Bioidentical hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones naturally produced by your body. Small pellets placed beneath the skin release hormones over time.
At DeFuniak All-Care Walk-In & Wellness, your care begins with a review of your symptoms, medical history, and appropriate lab testing. Your provider will discuss whether hormone therapy is suitable for you, including potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
