Estrogen Therapy for Hormone Replacement – Guided by Medical Experts

Estrogen (Estradiol)

At Options Medical Weight Loss, estrogen therapy is one of the evidence-based tools our medical providers may use as part of a personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) plan. When clinically appropriate, estrogen can help restore hormonal balance and relieve symptoms that impact quality of life.
Our physician-supervised approach ensures estrogen therapy is prescribed safely, monitored closely, and tailored to your unique health needs.

What Is Estrogen Therapy?

Estrogen is a key hormone that plays a vital role in mood, sleep, metabolism, bone health, brain function, and reproductive health. As estrogen levels decline — commonly during perimenopause and menopause — many women experience symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Estrogen therapy helps replenish declining hormone levels to support balance and overall well-being.

At Options, estrogen is prescribed in the form of estradiol, a bioidentical form of estrogen that closely matches what the body naturally produces.

How We Use Estrogen at Options

We take a personalized, medically guided approach to estrogen therapy. Before prescribing estradiol, our care team performs a comprehensive evaluation that includes your symptoms, medical history, in-clinic labs, and overall health profile.

As part of your physician-supervised program, we offer:

  • Prescription estradiol through licensed medical providers
  • In-clinic lab testing and ongoing monitoring
  • Personalized dosing and delivery method selection
  • Regular follow-ups and plan adjustments as needed
