Personalized Hormone Therapy Designed to Help You Feel Stronger, Sharper, and More Like Yourself

When Hormones Change, Everything Can Change

Many women begin noticing subtle changes long before menopause officially arrives. Energy declines. Sleep becomes disrupted. Weight becomes more difficult to manage. Mental clarity may not feel as sharp. Motivation, mood, and libido can shift in ways that affect relationships, career performance, and overall quality of life.

These symptoms are often dismissed as “normal aging,” but they may be related to changing hormone levels.

At Susan B. Poncy, M.D., BioTE® hormone optimization is offered as part of a comprehensive women’s health strategy designed to help women restore balance, improve well-being, and maintain vitality throughout midlife and beyond.

With more than 30 years of experience caring for women, Dr. Poncy combines clinical expertise, advanced hormone evaluation, and personalized treatment planning to help women navigate hormonal changes with confidence.

What Is BioTE®?

BioTE® is a method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that utilizes small hormone pellets placed beneath the skin. These pellets are designed to release hormones gradually over time, providing consistent hormone delivery without the daily fluctuations often associated with pills, patches, creams, or injections.

Hormone pellet therapy may be appropriate for women experiencing symptoms related to hormonal decline during perimenopause, menopause, or other hormone-related conditions.

The BioTE® Evaluation Process

Comprehensive Assessment First

Hormone therapy should never be a one-size-fits-all treatment. Before recommending BioTE®, Dr. Poncy performs a thorough evaluation that may include:

  • Comprehensive health history
  • Review of symptoms
  • Physical examination
  • Laboratory testing
  • Menopause and hormone assessment
  • Cardiovascular risk evaluation
  • Cancer screening review
  • Discussion of treatment goals and expectations

This personalized approach helps ensure that each patient’s treatment plan is based on her unique health profile.
