Topics covered in this class include:

Hormone therapy (sometimes also referred to as hormone replacement therapy/HRT or menopause hormone therapy/ MHT)

Hormone therapy is a treatment used to reduce symptoms associated with decreasing or fluctuating hormone levels. It is used for surgical menopause, premature or early menopause as well as in perimenopause and post menopause.

Hormone therapy is indicated for many symptoms associated with the menopausal transition including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and bone loss and can also improve symptoms like sleep disturbances, brain fog, mood, pelvic health, sexual health and libido. Hormone therapy can also reduce the risk of other health issues such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and fractures, cancer mortality and blood sugar dysregulation.

The average age of menopause in Canada is 51, with most reaching menopause between the ages of 45-55 however symptoms can start in your early 40s or even 30s. If you are experiencing changes in your cycle (shorter cycles, longer cycles, changes in bleeding), and/ or any of the symptoms listed above, reach out. I’m here to help! You do not need to wait until you’ve gone 12 months without a period to get support.

Hormone therapy is very individualized and different doses, routes, formulations and regimens are used based on your health history and response to treatment. It generally involves using estrogen +/- progesterone. Hormone therapy can also have some side effects and risks, and these should be discussed with your practitioner.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, there are also many other tools I use to support you in this transition including diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, natural health products and more

Cervical screening & breast/ chest exams

I am now offering an appointment for cervical screening & breast/ chest exams.

This visit includes:
- Gynecologic exam & PAP test
- Vaginal swabs as needed
- Clinical breast/ chest exam
- Self breast/ chest exam education

Current guidelines recommend pap testing every 3 years starting at age 21 for people with a cervix who are or have been sexually active.

This appointment is for non-patients and is covered through naturopathic benefits. If you are already a patient of mine, you can just book a regular follow up appointment as usual ☺️
