Women’s Hormone Replacement Therapy

Reclaim Balance, Energy & Vitality
Hormonal shifts can impact every aspect of your life, from energy and mood to sleep patterns, metabolism, and more. If you are going through a change and want to restore harmony, relieve troubling symptoms, and feel more like yourself again, Dr. Charlie Seltzer's Women's Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help.

Insomnia

Who May Benefit?

Hormonal changes are natural, especially as women approach midlife. When symptoms become disruptive, HRT can make a real difference. 

You may benefit from HRT if you experience any of the following:

Persistent fatigue, low energy

  • Sleep disturbances, insomnia

  • Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or depression

  • Low libido or sexual discomfort

  • Weight gain (especially around the midsection)

  • Brain fog, difficulty concentrating

  • Vaginal dryness or urinary symptoms

  • Bone density loss or osteoporosis risk

  • Night sweats, hot flashes

These symptoms can appear individually or together and vary in intensity depending on your hormonal balance and life stage.

Doctor Writing Notes

A Symptom + Science Approach to Hormone Therapy

Balancing female hormones is both an art and a science. Female hormone replacement often requires careful adjustments and ongoing communication to ensure you're getting the treatment you need.

That's why we take a symptom- and science-based approach.

Because numbers alone don't tell the whole story.

In other words, we don't just treat numbers — we treat you. And we adjust your plan as your body responds, always using evidence and clinical judgment to ensure you're supported safely and effectively.

 “Dr. Seltzer is a cut above any other physician I have ever known. Not only is he exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced, but he is always available to offer advice, treat symptoms, and counsel as one maneuvers through medical issues. It doesn't matter how great or small, Dr. Seltzer treats every issue with the utmost care. You won't find a better physician anywhere!”

How We Diagnose & Treat

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a thorough consultation that includes your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.

2. Lab Testing & Hormone Panel

We order blood tests to measure key hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone (if relevant), thyroid function, and others. These results, in conjunction with your symptoms, guide our plan.

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

No single protocol fits all. Over time, we may adjust your plan based on monitoring and feedback. Treatment options may include:

  • Bioidentical estrogen

  • Progesterone

  • Low-dose testosterone

  • Supplementation

  • Supporting nutrients, lifestyle & nutrition guidance

4. Monitoring & Adjustment

We monitor your response, hormone levels, and overall health markers to ensure you're safe and on the right track. Adjustments are normal and expected.

Risks & Considerations

As with any therapy, hormone replacement must be managed carefully to ensure safety and effectiveness. Some potential risks include fluid retention or bloating, breast tenderness, changes in mood or sleep patterns, and an increased risk of blood clots, particularly in specific populations. 

Hormone therapy may also interact with pre-existing conditions such as cardiovascular disease, liver disorders, or a history of hormone-sensitive cancers. That's why it's essential to work with a qualified provider who understands your complete medical history and closely monitors your treatment.
