Our naturopathic care is designed to support you through the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause with clarity, compassion, and clinical insight. Your treatment begins with a comprehensive intake to assess symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood changes, weight shifts, or fatigue. When appropriate, your naturopath may recommend advanced hormone testing—such as the DUTCH test or salivary hormone panels from LifeLabs—to assess patterns in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA. These insights help guide a personalized treatment plan that may include regulated bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, herbal medicine, nutritional support, and adrenal or thyroid care. Whether you’re looking to ease current symptoms or support long-term bone, brain, and heart health post-menopause, our naturopathic approach is rooted in evidence, and always centered on you.
Our naturopaths will determine whether testing is needed based on the severity, timing, and type of symptoms you’re experiencing. Testing can be helpful when symptoms are unclear, when you’re already taking hormones or supplements, or when you want to avoid unnecessary treatment.
The DUTCH test provides a detailed overview of hormone levels and how your body is metabolizing estrogen, cortisol, and other key hormones. Salivary testing is simpler and useful for tracking daily hormone rhythms like cortisol and melatonin. Your ND will help choose the most appropriate option based on your case
Bioidentical hormone therapy can be very effective and safe when used under professional guidance. Our naturopaths use regulated products and personalized dosing, based on your hormone profile and risk factors. Therapy is monitored regularly to ensure safety and symptom relief.

Yes. Our naturopathic doctors can work alongside your existing provider to optimize your treatment, offer second opinions, or provide complementary care that supports your body through the transition — such as adrenal support, sleep regulation, or managing side effects.
