From Texas to Provo: How Diane Found Her Hormone Therapy Home

Moving across the country means finding new everything: a new grocery store, new routines, new neighbors. For Diane, one search mattered more than the rest. She needed a hormone therapy provider she could trust.

A Recommendation That Came Full Circle

Diane had been a Biote patient in Texas for years. She believed in it so much that she encouraged her adult daughters to find a Biote provider after they settled in Utah. Her daughters came to Avara Medical in Provo first. In Diane’s words, they “had a wonderful experience, and that’s ultimately how I found my way here too.”

What Is Biote Pellet Therapy?

If you haven’t heard of Biote, it’s a hormone optimization method built around bioidentical hormone pellets. Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the ones your body makes on its own. The pellets are about the size of a grain of rice and are placed just under the skin of the upper hip during a quick in-office visit. Over the following months, they release a steady, consistent dose. There are no daily creams to remember and fewer peaks and dips.

Before starting pellets, Avara’s providers review detailed lab work so dosing is based on your levels, symptoms, and goals.

Diane had tried other options first. A progesterone cream “helped somewhat,” she says, “but discovering pellet therapy completely changed things for me.” She noticed the difference physically and emotionally.

A Smoother Transition and a Gentler Procedure

Switching providers can feel risky when something is working. For Diane, the move to Avara was “incredibly smooth,” and she found the pellet insertion “even better and much more comfortable” than before.

The biggest change was the numbing shot. At her previous clinic, the injections burned enough that she braced herself every visit. At Avara, the experience is different: “The way this clinic does it is so gentle and easy that I don’t have any anxiety about appointments anymore.”

Beyond Hormones: IV Therapy and Emsella

Hormone health is often one part of a bigger picture, and Diane has explored several of Avara’s other services. “The IV therapy has been fantastic,” she says, noting she feels better after every session.

The real surprise was the Emsella chair. Emsella uses focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions while you sit fully clothed. Each session takes about 30 minutes, with no downtime. It’s commonly used for bladder leakage and urgency, issues many women live with quietly.

Diane had struggled with incontinence, especially first thing in the morning. She calls Emsella “truly life-changing.” Her words: “I’m no longer rushing to the bathroom, and the benefits have lasted even long after completing the sessions.”
