What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy consists of pellets containing hormones made from plant-based sources that are identical to those your body produces. Pellets containing these hormones are sourced from yams, which contain an exact replication of human hormones without the risk of allergens.
The Adair Family Clinic and Med Spa offers hormone therapies that may consist of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormone, or other hormones that restore ideal body functions and the way you feel.

- Unstable mood

Your symptoms may begin as mild and worsen over time if not addressed. See the Adair Family Clinic and Med Spa experts at the first sign of hormone issues or if your current hormone treatment doesn’t work the way it’s designed.
Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy right for me?
To determine if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and which form is best, a specialist discusses your medical history and symptoms, completes a physical exam, and orders blood tests to evaluate your body’s hormone levels. You require blood work before your first treatment, six weeks later, and annually thereafter.
What happens during bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
During hormone treatment, your specialist cleans and numbs the treatment area, inserts tiny pellets beneath the skin near your hip, and closes the small incision using medical tape. The treatment is simple, fast (often taking less than 5 minutes), and painless, and there’s no downtime afterward.
What can I expect after bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
You may resume typical daily activities after receiving hormone pellets. You might notice symptom relief after 7-10 days, but complete relief might take six months. The pellets last about 5-6 months for women and 3-4 months for men, though individualized results vary. Your provider replaces the pellets as needed to ensure long-lasting results.
