Bioidentical Hormone Therapy in New Hampshire
Feel like yourself again with hormone therapy at Optimized Health. Using personalized hormone treatments to match your needs and goals, our experienced team can help you feel like the best version of yourself at any stage of life.
Who Needs Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormones greatly impact the body, from how much energy you have and metabolism to whether you sleep well and your cognitive function. As you get older, these hormone levels fluctuate and often drop; for women, this happens during menopause, and for men in their 40s and 50s. Thyroid issues can also affect hormone levels.
You might be dealing with hormone issues if:
You’re constantly tired, even after a full night’s rest
Your moods swing up and down without reason
You’re gaining weight, especially around your middle
You have trouble falling or staying asleep
You struggle with focus and memory
You’ve noticed a drop in your sex drive
You experience hot flashes or night sweats
You’re losing muscle tone despite staying active
Our Personalized Approach to Hormone Optimization
Rigid hormone approaches aren’t always effective; what works for one person might not work for another. At Optimized Health, we base your treatment and doses on your lab numbers, unique needs, and health history.
You’ll start with a consultation to discuss your main concerns, followed by detailed blood work. We use LC-MS testing, which separates and precisely measures hormone levels more accurately than standard tests, providing results in about a week.
Patients must be up to date with wellness screenings like mammograms or prostate checks. Further clearance may be needed for conditions like a cancer history. The more information we have, the safer and more tailored your treatment will be.
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Pellets are time-release hormone treatments, usually the size of a grain of rice, placed under your skin in a brief office visit. Unlike methods that can wear off between doses, pellets provide consistent hormone delivery without daily application, slowly melting over 3-6 months.
Hormone Therapy Options at Optimized Health
Our hormone optimization services include various options, depending on what works best for you.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Our standard option is Biote pellet therapy, a specialized system with carefully tested hormone formulations and precise dosing protocols. This approach includes real hormones identical to what your body makes naturally. For some, we might suggest adding creams or patches for optimal results.
Other Hormone Support Approaches
We offer natural support for those with subclinical thyroid disease, where thyroid hormone levels aren’t abnormal enough for a standard diagnosis. Peptides like sermorelin and tesamorelin (part of our peptides service) can complement your hormone therapy by supporting growth hormone, energy, tissue repair, and more.
Delivery Methods Available
We can administer hormones in several ways, from pellets to creams. Pills and patches are also available, based on what works best for you. Your dedicated wellness provider can help ensure your treatment routine is effective for your circumstances and needs.
What to Expect From Your Hormone Therapy Program
After we check your labs and have our first consultation, we’ll map out your plan. Once you start, we’ll keep tabs on you with regular check-ins (in person and telephonically). We use follow-up labs and symptom checklists to ensure we’re meeting your goals and making any adjustments if needed.

I’ve been going to Lori Gagne at Optimized Health monthly for almost 9 months, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and service I receive.

She takes the time to listen, answer all my questions, and ensure everything is tailored to my individual needs. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about her patients and their success. Optimized Health is professional, welcoming, and efficient—appointments are always smooth and on time.

Very nice and clean place I always do my botox there ! Nurse Lori is an excellent professional and she explains everything before procedure. I am very happy with my results. She makes me look beautiful and young again!
Ana Chermont
I highly recommend Optimized Health. Lori is wonderful! I started seeing her in December for help with weight loss and am very happy with my results so far. She is thorough, listens carefully and without judgment and answers all my questions. For the first time in years I am optimistic that I can reach a healthy weight again.
Janet Anderson-Ray
I could not recommend Optimized Health enough! I was in a rut after two babies and really struggling to lose weight. Lori was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all our questions and really made me feel excited about the future again. Today there are so many doctors that are more invested in the profits than ensuring that they are recommending what is best for the patient and Lori could not be more opposite. She genuinely cares for the best interest and health of her patients. She really enabled me to start living life again.
Briana Cwalinski
Lori is the best at what she does! She is excellent at helping you achieve your weight loss goals and helped me get my groove back! Book an appointment with her! You won’t regret it! I wish I would have done it sooner! I have never been more motivated in achieving my health goals than I am now.
