What is Hormone Therapy? How it works

We use licensed US compounding pharmacies for bioidentical hormones — estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and Biest in various strengths. Your provider matches creams or injectables to your labs, symptoms, age, weight, and goals. We no longer offer pellet insertion. Unlike a one-size-fits-all protocol, dose is calculated individually. This isn't a vending machine — it's medicine.

  • Symptoms and history first — then labs, then a protocol
  • Olympia compounded options: testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, Biest
  • Bioidentical hormones molecularly identical to your own
  • Dose calculated from YOUR labs, symptoms, age & weight
  • We no longer offer pellet insertion

Common questions

Do you still offer BioTE pellets?

No. Hello Gorgeous no longer offers pellet insertion. When hormone therapy is appropriate, Ryan Kent, FNP-BC recommends compounded creams or injectables from licensed US pharmacies after labs.

Who is a good candidate for hormone therapy?

Women with symptoms of perimenopause or menopause (hot flashes, sleep disruption, low libido, mood changes, weight gain, brain fog) and men with symptoms of low testosterone (fatigue, low libido, mood changes, loss of muscle mass) are typical candidates. We screen carefully with labs and history — hormone therapy isn't right for everyone, and we'll be honest if it's not for you.

What delivery methods do you offer?

Compounded creams and injectables when clinically appropriate. We no longer offer pellet insertion. Your provider matches the method to your labs and lifestyle.

What are the side effects of HRT?

Side effects depend on the hormone, dose, and delivery method. Some clients notice breast tenderness, mild acne, or mood shifts as their body adjusts. That's why we use individualized lab-based dosing rather than one-size-fits-all, with follow-up labs as indicated.

Will hormone therapy help me lose weight?

Sometimes, indirectly. Restored hormone levels can improve sleep, energy, mood, and body composition — all of which support weight management. But HRT is not a weight loss treatment. Clients with significant weight loss goals often combine hormone optimization with GLP-1 therapy and behavioral support.

Is hormone therapy covered by insurance?

Compounded HRT is typically not covered by insurance and we don't bill insurance for this service. We work with you on cash-pay pricing and provide HSA/FSA-compatible receipts where applicable. Labs may be billable to insurance if your primary care orders them; we can also order them privately if you prefer.

Is hormone therapy safe long-term?

Bioidentical hormone therapy has been studied and used for decades. The risks and benefits depend on individual factors (age, medical history, family history) and proper dosing. We follow current clinical guidelines, monitor with labs, and discuss risk-benefit at every visit. Long-term hormone therapy is a conversation, not a permanent commitment.
