Our Approach

A Different Kind of Hormone Therapy

Traditional OB/GYN clinics often do not assess hormone labs. If therapy is prescribed, it is rarely optimized through follow-up lab monitoring. We do both.
You will never be told your symptoms are normal, due to stress, or just a part of life. We listen.
We take a functional medicine perspective — assessing for and addressing the root cause, not just prescribing medication to manage symptoms.
A full assessment is completed to identify all contributing factors to your symptoms.
Longer visits, personalized care, and direct one-on-one communication with your provider throughout your entire perimenopause and menopause journey.

"We don't treat the symptom. We treat the whole person."

BioTE Pellet Therapy

BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy

BioTE pellet therapy is one of the most effective and convenient forms of bioidentical hormone replacement available. A small pellet inserted just under the skin delivers consistent, steady hormone levels for months at a time — no daily pills, no weekly patches, no peaks and valleys. Arctic Rose Wellness is a certified BioTE provider, and Jean Walker, WHNP-BC, brings extensive hands-on experience helping both women and men achieve lasting hormone optimization through personalized pellet therapy.

The BioTE Difference

BioTE pellets deliver bioidentical hormones molecularly identical to what your body naturally produces — not synthetic alternatives.
Unlike pills or patches that create peaks and valleys, pellets release hormones steadily and consistently around the clock.
No daily reminders. No weekly applications. One simple in-office procedure every 3–6 months.
Our carefully monitored approach prevents stacking — a common problem with providers who skip absorption tracking between insertions.
Jean Walker, WHNP-BC, is a certified BioTE provider with extensive experience in pellet therapy for both women and men.
Many patients describe BioTE as the first time they have felt truly like themselves in years.

"Steady hormones. Steady energy. Steady you."

Your Journey

What to Expect

1

Before Your First Appointment

A comprehensive lab panel is completed approximately 2 weeks prior to your initial appointment so results are ready to review at your visit.

2

Initial Appointment

Your provider reviews your lab results in full, discusses your symptoms and goals, and makes personalized recommendations for lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, and hormone therapy. At this visit you and your provider decide together on the right therapy delivery method for your needs.

Your path branches here — choose the therapy that fits your life

Path A

Pellet Therapy Path

3

Pellet Insertion

Your personalized pellet dose is calculated from your labs and the insertion procedure is completed at your initial visit. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic — the procedure takes only a few minutes and most patients say it was much easier than expected.

4

Early Follow-Up

Men receive follow-up labs 4 weeks after insertion. Women are checked in with to assess symptom relief — labs are ordered if symptoms are not fully relieved.

5

Optimization Check

Labs return approximately 2 weeks later. If needed a complimentary pellet boost — a small supplemental dose at no additional charge — is provided to fine-tune your levels.

6

Absorption Reassessment

Women at the 10–14 week mark and men at the 18–22 week mark have labs drawn to confirm the majority of the pellet has been absorbed. This critical step prevents stacking and ensures your next dose is accurate.

7

Next Insertion

Once absorption is confirmed you are eligible for your next insertion. Women are typically pelleted every 3–4 months. Men every 5–6 months.

Path B

Non-Pellet Therapy Path

3

Prescription Provided

Your personalized hormone therapy prescription — cream, patch, gel, injection, or oral — is provided at your initial visit with full instructions for use.

4

Follow-Up Labs

Labs are drawn approximately 2 weeks prior to each follow-up appointment to assess hormone levels and guide dosage adjustments.

5

Active Optimization Phase (Months 1–8)

Follow-up visits are scheduled approximately every 2–3 months until stable, optimized hormone levels are achieved. Most patients complete 3–4 follow-up appointments with labs during this phase. Your provider adjusts your protocol at each visit based on your lab results and how you are feeling.

6

Maintenance Phase

Once stable dosing is established and hormone levels are optimized, follow-up visits move to every 6 months. You will continue to have labs drawn prior to each maintenance visit.

✓

Annual Comprehensive Assessment

At the one-year mark a full comprehensive lab panel is completed to reassess your hormone levels, overall health markers, and long-term protocol. This annual assessment ensures your therapy remains optimized as your body and health needs evolve over time.

Note: Our monitored approach to pellet dosing prevents the stacking effect that has given some pellet therapy programs a poor reputation. By confirming absorption before every new insertion we ensure your dose stays accurate and your results stay consistent. We do not cut corners. Your safety depends on it.
