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.
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.
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.
Is Women’s HRT Right For You?
Hormone replacement therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but for many women, it transforms quality of life. If you're struggling with symptoms and ready for real change, we're here to help you navigate the journey safely and effectively.
