Helping you beat hormonal and digestive concerns, fatigue, and stress!

💫 For so many women, the birth control pill is offered as the solution to hormone symptoms — from acne and PMS to painful periods. 🩸

But the pill doesn’t actually FIX hormone imbalances — it simply turns them off. Once you stop taking it, the same symptoms often return! 😬

When we understand your unique hormone story, we can create a plan that helps your body restore balance naturally — without having to rely solely on synthetic hormones.

💛 You deserve options, and you deserve to feel like yourself again. Naturopathic Doctors can help! 👩‍⚕️

Accepting new patients both virtually and in-office!

Feeling like your hormones are running the show? 😔

If you’ve been told “your labs are normal” (or haven’t been able to get them tested) but you don’t feel normal — you’re not alone.

Hormonal shifts can affect your energy, mood, skin, weight, and emotional stability — especially in your 30s and 40s.

✨ As a Naturopathic Doctor, I help women uncover the root causes behind their hormonal symptoms — from estrogen dominance and low progesterone to stress dysregulation. 👩‍⚕️

Have you been suspecting something isn’t quite right when it comes to your diet but you haven’t been able to put a finger on it? 👋. That’s because intolerances produce symptoms *hours* later and can be difficult to pinpoint while tracking food intake. 📝.

The good news is that there is a blood test 🩸that your Naturopath can order to identify which foods are working against you! 🥛 🍦

💫 Patient Success Stories: Eczema and IBS

Food intolerance testing revealed a few food items which were not agreeing with my patient! 🍳 🥚

Strict food removal for at least 3-4 weeks helped clear her eczema and provide relief from unpredictable bowel movements! 💩

BONUS: Elevated Candida albicans levels suggested there could be a fungal overgrowth that also needed to be dealt with.

Do you suspect food intolerances might be present? If you have IBS or skin concerns/rashes then it might be something to consider! 👩‍⚕️

Ever notice how stress makes your PMS or mood symptoms worse? 🤯

Here’s why:

👉 Stress triggers cortisol (your main stress hormone)
👉 High cortisol steals resources from progesterone.
👉 Low progesterone = more mood swings, anxiety, and sleep struggles.

Your hormones don’t work in isolation—they respond to your daily stress load. Learning to manage stress isn’t just about mental health—it’s hormone therapy. 👩‍⚕️

Did you know hormone imbalance isn’t always about irregular periods? 🤔

Here are 5 signs of a possible imbalance:
✨ Heavy flow 🩸
✨ Anxiety before your period
✨ Spotting or cramping before your period
✨ Hair loss or skin breakouts
✨ Cravings you can’t shake

If you’ve been experiencing any of these, it may be time to look deeper.

Save this post so you can recognize the signs—and DM me if you’re curious about testing options. 👩‍⚕️

💫 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): it looks like we are on to something!

Did you know that IBS is a label given to describe your symptoms? It usually has a cause of its own. 👩‍⚕️

Food intolerances and/or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) make symptoms much worse for a lot of my patients. 😔

This 3-hour SIBO breath test was able to detect mild hydrogen bacterial overgrowth alongside methane gas overgrowth as an aggravating factor for my patient’s ongoing digestive concerns. 💩

Key SIBO takeaway points: gas and bloat after meals and often feeling worse after consuming fibre / healthy food! 🥦

💫 Topic: Poor Sleep and Heavy Periods.

Labs reveal:

Low morning cortisol reading which can present as difficulty sleeping soundly through the night (often waking up between 2-3am or experiencing night sweats) and feeling unrefreshed in the mornings. 🥱

Low progesterone during the luteal phase of the cycle leading to a heavier menstrual flow. 🩸

We can work together to try and identify the underlying causes of your concerns. 👩‍⚕️

✨Patient Success Stories!

Food intolerance testing revealed what was contributing to IBS symptoms. Dietary changes significantly reduced the frequency/intensity of flare-ups and also helped reduce joint pain and inflammation! Bonus improvements included more energy and less brain fog. 💃

Are you struggling with digestive symptoms you can’t pinpoint, even when you’ve attempted to track your diet? 💩

Food sensitivity testing can identify those items that dietary tracking cannot (since symptoms of intolerances occur hours later or even the following day). 🥛

Are you dreading that one week before your period starts? 👋

You might be dealing with estrogen dominance — a hormonal imbalance I see often in clinic.

✨ Common signs include:
🔸 Heavy periods
🔸 Mood swings or irritability
🔸 Bloating & breast tenderness
🔸 Weight gain around the hips/thighs

💡 The good news? Estrogen dominance can be corrected naturally — through the right testing, supplement support, and hormone-balancing nutrition.

👉 I help women balance hormones without birth control.

💫 Flooding your calendar and your pad? Heavy periods aren’t normal—they’re hormonal. If your period’s taking over your week, your hormones might be to blame!

🩸 Heavy flow isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a sign your hormones need support. Heavy periods are your body’s way of asking for balance. Let’s listen.

You weren’t made to dread your cycle. Let’s get your hormones back on track.

👩‍⚕️ Naturopathic Doctors can test hormones and help you come up with a plan to get things balanced again! 💃

One virtual opening for this Monday at 10:30am and one in-office or virtual opening for this Thursday at 10:30am!

🌙 Could Low Progesterone Be the Missing Piece?
If you’re dealing with heavy periods, mood swings, trouble sleeping, or anxiety before your cycle — your progesterone levels might be to blame. This key hormone helps balance estrogen and keeps your cycle (and mood!) in check. 💫
⁠
🩸 Common signs of low progesterone:
✔️ Heavy or irregular periods
✔️ PMS & irritability
✔️ Trouble sleeping
✔️ Anxiety or feeling “wired but tired”
✔️ Short cycles or spotting before your period

Let’s get to the root cause — hormone testing can help 💛
