Progesterone for Hormone Balance – Guided by Medical Experts
Progesterone
At Options Medical Weight Loss, progesterone is one of the prescription hormone therapies our licensed medical providers may use as part of a personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) plan. When clinically appropriate, progesterone can play an important role in supporting hormonal balance, sleep quality, mood, endometrial protection, and overall well-being.
Our progesterone therapy is always physician-supervised and tailored to your individual lab results, symptoms, and health goals.
What Is Progesterone?
Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting sleep, balancing the effects of estrogen, and promoting overall hormonal stability.
As progesterone levels decline – commonly during perimenopause and menopause – some individuals may experience symptoms such as disrupted sleep, mood changes, anxiety, or irregular cycles. Prescription progesterone may help support hormonal balance when used as part of a medically guided HRT plan.
How We Use Progesterone at Options
We take a highly personalized approach to hormone therapy. Before prescribing progesterone, our medical team conducts a comprehensive evaluation that includes symptom review, medical history, and lab testing to determine if progesterone support is appropriate for you.
As part of your physician-supervised hormone program, we provide:
- Prescription progesterone through licensed medical providers
- Individualized dosing based on labs and symptoms
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up
- Adjustments as your body and needs change over time
Our goal is to restore balance safely while supporting your long-term health
