Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) from Lamb Medical
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) Available in Pittsburgh
Dr. Mary Parks Lamb and our experienced providers are Biote Certified, bringing advanced training and a personalized approach to hormone optimization right here in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.
The Biote Method is one of the nation’s leading hormone optimization approaches, trusted by hundreds of thousands of patients over the past decade. Built on more than 80 years of scientific insight, this method focuses on identifying and addressing early signs of hormonal imbalance—helping patients feel like themselves again.
At Lamb Medical & Aesthetics, we chose to partner with Biote because we believe our patients deserve proven, science-backed care delivered with a highly individualized approach.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
As we age, our bodies naturally produce fewer key hormones such as estrogen and testosterone.
These hormones play a critical role in regulating:
- Brain function
- Heart health
- Bone density
- Metabolism
- Energy levels
- Sexual health
When hormone levels decline or become imbalanced, it can impact how you feel day to day.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) works to restore balance using hormones that are structurally identical to those your body naturally produces. Because of this, your body recognizes and utilizes them efficiently, helping to support overall wellness and symptom relief.
Why Hormone Balance Matters
Hormones influence nearly every major system in the body. Even small imbalances can create noticeable changes in how you feel.
Common Symptoms for Women:
- Fatigue
- Hot flashes or night sweats
- Weight gain
- Trouble sleeping
- Mood swings or irritability
- Anxiety or low mood
- Brain fog
- Decreased sex drive
- Discomfort during intimacy
- Decreased bone density
Common Symptoms for Men:
- Low energy or fatigue
- Decreased sex drive
- Loss of muscle mass
- Increased body fat
- Mood changes or irritability
- Stress or anxiety
- Elevated blood sugar
- High cholesterol
If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t quite explain why, hormone imbalance may be part of the picture.
The Biote Method
The Biote Method is a personalized approach to hormone optimization designed to support long-term wellness.
This method uses small pellets (about the size of a grain of rice) that are inserted just beneath the skin during a quick, in-office procedure.
Once placed:
-
Pellets release a steady, consistent dose of hormones
-
Your body uses what it needs, when it needs it
-
Pellets naturally dissolve over time
-
Treatments are typically repeated every 3–5 months, depending on your individual needs
This consistent delivery helps avoid the fluctuations often seen with other hormone therapies.
Our Approach at Lamb Medical & Aesthetics
Hormone optimization at Lamb Medical is never one-size-fits-all.
We take a personalized, provider-guided approach, often integrated within our Be Well Membership, to support your full health journey.
Your experience includes:
- Comprehensive health assessment
- Advanced lab testing
- Review of symptoms, lifestyle, and goals
- Customized treatment plan tailored to your body
- Ongoing monitoring and adjustments
Our goal isn’t just symptom relief—it’s helping you achieve:
- Metabolic health
- Hormone balance
- Energy and vitality
- Long-term wellness
Personalized Treatment Options
Your treatment plan is tailored specifically to you.
While many patients choose the Biote pellet method for its consistent, long-lasting results, this is not the only option. Based on your lab results, symptoms, lifestyle, and personal preferences, your provider may recommend a variety of treatment options, including:
- Bioidentical hormone pellets
- Topical creams
- Injections
- Patches
Our goal is to find the approach that works best for your body and your lifestyle—ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and supported every step of the way.
For optimal results, hormone optimization is approached as a long-term wellness journey. We typically recommend a commitment of approximately one year, as it often takes time to fully balance hormones, fine-tune dosing, and allow your body to respond. This is not intended to be a short-term solution of just 1–3 treatments, but rather a thoughtful, ongoing process designed to support lasting results.

Starting your hormone optimization journey is simple.
- Complete a health assessment
- Schedule lab work to evaluate your hormone levels
