What Is Bio-TE?

Hormone Optimization That Works

Bio-TE uses bioidentical hormone pellets — derived from plant sources — that are customized to your exact hormonal needs and inserted just under the skin in a quick, in-office procedure.

Unlike pills, patches, or creams, pellets deliver consistent, steady hormone levels 24/7 — exactly like your body would naturally. No peaks. No valleys. Just balance.

Dr. James P. Dickens, M.D. has been Folsom's #1 rated Bio-TE provider, helping hundreds of patients reclaim their energy, clarity, and quality of life.

Symptoms We Treat

Are These Symptoms Familiar?

😴

Fatigue & Low Energy

Waking up tired no matter how much you sleep? Hormone imbalance is often the culprit.

🧠

Brain Fog

Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, and mental fatigue — all signs of hormonal decline.

😤

Mood Changes

Irritability, anxiety, and depression can all be hormonally driven and are highly treatable.

⚖️

Weight Gain

Unexplained weight gain, especially around the midsection, is a classic low-hormone signal.

❤️

Low Libido

Loss of interest in intimacy is one of the most common — and most correctable — hormone symptoms.

💤

Poor Sleep

Disrupted sleep cycles and insomnia often improve dramatically with hormone optimization.

How It Works

The Bio-TE Process

Comprehensive Lab Work

We start with a detailed blood panel to assess your current hormone levels and identify imbalances. This is the foundation of your personalized protocol.

Consultation with Dr. Dickens

Dr. Dickens reviews your labs alongside your symptoms and health goals to design a custom Bio-TE pellet dosage specifically calibrated for your body.

Quick In-Office Insertion

The procedure takes about 15 minutes. Tiny pellets are placed just under the skin near the hip. Most patients return to normal activity immediately.

Ongoing Optimization

Pellets dissolve naturally over 3–6 months. Follow-up labs and adjustments keep your levels optimized continuously. Most patients need just 2–3 insertions per year.

Bio-TE for Women & Men

Hormone Health Has No Gender

Both women and men experience hormonal decline — typically beginning in their 30s and accelerating through their 40s and 50s. Bio-TE has optimized protocols for both.

For Women: Estrogen and testosterone pellets address menopause symptoms, mood, energy, skin quality, bone density, and libido.

For Men: Testosterone optimization improves energy, muscle mass, mental clarity, mood, and sexual function — without the rollercoaster of gels or injections.

FAQ

Bio-TE Questions Answered

What is Bio-TE hormone therapy and how does it work?+

Bio-TE (BioTE) is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using tiny pellets made from plant-derived hormones — chemically identical to those your body produces. Pellets are inserted under the skin and dissolve slowly, providing consistent hormone levels for 3–6 months without daily pills or applications.

Is Bio-TE hormone therapy safe?+

Bio-TE pellets have been used for over 34 years with more than 4 million successful insertions. At Cascade Medical, every Bio-TE protocol is supervised by Dr. James P. Dickens, M.D., including comprehensive lab work before and after treatment to ensure your levels are optimized safely.

How long does a Bio-TE pellet insertion take?+

The in-office insertion procedure takes approximately 15 minutes. It is performed under local anesthesia, involves a tiny incision near the hip, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.

How quickly will I feel results from Bio-TE?+

Most patients begin noticing improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within 2–4 weeks. Full optimization — including libido, body composition, and mental clarity — typically occurs within 4–8 weeks and continues to improve over the first treatment cycle.

Who is a good candidate for Bio-TE hormone therapy in Folsom?+

Men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance — including fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood changes, low libido, and poor sleep — are often excellent candidates. Dr. Dickens evaluates your full lab panel and health history to determine whether Bio-TE is right for you. Call (916) 351-9457 to schedule a consultation.
