Dr. Sachdev switched from her previous hormone replacement therapy to the BioTE method in September of 2016 at the age of 48 years. Within two weeks she experienced dramatic improvements in energy, focus, drive and motivation. Her libido also returned after years of dormancy. Her sleep improved and joint pain disappeared. She felt so much better that she joined a gym and within a few months she had lost 40 pounds and several inches off her waist. Her blood pressure and blood sugar improved dramatically and her prediabetes resolved completely allowing her to discontinue most of her prescription medications.
Within a few months of starting BioTE therapy Dr. Sachdev looked, felt and behaved 20 years younger. She credits BioTE with giving her a new life and recommends it to her patients, friends and family. She considers BioTE hormone replacement the most significant thing she has ever done for her personal health and that of her patients.
