Tired, Wired, Just Not Yourself?
Rediscover energy, mood balance & libido with BioTE Method
tailored to your body, no guesswork.
Her Body Was Telling Her Something — But No One Was Listening…
For years, she felt exhausted.
The kind of tired that sleep couldn't fix.
She caught every cold, every bug — constantly sick, constantly foggy.
Doctor after doctor told her everything looked “normal.”
But nothing felt normal.
Then Valerie met Joanne.
Joanne ran a comprehensive bloodwork.
Valerie finally got answers — and relief.
She also discovered food sensitivities that were draining her body, and with Joanne’s guidance, began reshaping her diet and lifestyle.
But the story doesn’t end there.
In 2018, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. And yet — it was caught early.
Her OBGYN believed the testosterone therapy she had been receiving under Joanne’s care helped slow the cancer’s progression.
Valerie's story isn’t the only one.
So many women come to us after years of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply unheard.
Here are just a few stories from real patients who found clarity, healing, and hope.
Your story might feel different...
but if you’re exhausted, foggy, or just feel off, it’s worth listening to what your body is trying to say.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
About Joanne M. Keller, APRN
Whole-Body Healing Rooted in Functional Medicine
Hi, I’m Joanne M. Keller, a Family Nurse Practitioner and Board-Certified Fellow in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals and families throughout Lake County — helping them not just manage symptoms, but truly heal.
My journey into functional medicine began with a simple belief:
Health isn’t just the absence of disease — it’s the presence of balance, energy, and vitality.
After completing my fellowship through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine in 2013, I began approaching each patient as a whole person — not just a set of symptoms. That means diving deep into root causes, running comprehensive labs, and crafting a custom treatment plan that includes nutritional support, lifestyle changes, and where needed, bioidentical hormone therapy.
Over the years, I’ve seen incredible transformations. Patients who were once overwhelmed by chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, autoimmune conditions, or digestive issues have found real relief and sustainable health through our work together.
Whether you're navigating a complex condition or simply want to optimize your health naturally, my team and I are here to support you with compassion, clinical insight, and a commitment to helping you thrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering What to Expect? We’ve Got You Covered.
What exactly is BioTE® and how is it different from regular hormone therapy?
BioTE® is a clinically proven method of hormone optimization using bioidentical hormone pellets — tiny, custom-compounded implants that mimic the natural hormones your body produces. Unlike synthetic hormones or one-size-fits-all treatments, BioTE uses personalized lab results and a precision dosing algorithm to deliver what your body actually needs.
Are bioidentical hormones safe?
Yes — bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. This makes them safer and more effective than synthetic options, with fewer side effects and better compatibility.
Is pellet insertion painful or complicated?
Not at all. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. The pellet, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted just under the skin (typically in the upper buttocks) during a short in-office visit. Most patients say it feels like a small pinch and report no downtime afterward.
How long do the pellets last?
Each pellet provides a steady, time-released dose of hormones for 3 to 6 months, depending on your body and lifestyle. No daily pills, patches, or creams to remember — just consistent, 24/7 support.
Will this help with menopause, andropause, or fatigue?
Absolutely. The BioTE Method has helped thousands of men and women struggling with symptoms like:
>Low energy & chronic fatigue
>Brain fog & poor memory
>Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
>Weight gain & low libido
>Hot flashes or night sweats
When your hormones are balanced, everything changes — and we customize your plan based on your symptoms, lab results, and health goals.
I’ve been told my labs are “normal.” Can this still help me?
Yes. “Normal” lab ranges don’t always mean optimal. At JM Keller Wellness, we go beyond basic labs to uncover subtle imbalances that may be affecting your energy, mood, sleep, and overall quality of life. Our approach is personalized, not cookie-cutter.
Is this just for women?
Not at all. Men also experience hormone imbalances, especially as testosterone naturally declines with age (a phase known as andropause). We provide custom hormone therapy plans for both men and women, starting at age 18 and up.
How do I get started?
It starts with a comprehensive lab panel and a one-on-one consultation. From there, we create a treatment plan tailored to your body’s needs — including recommendations for pellets, supplements, nutrition, and ongoing support.
