A Balanced and Evidence Informed Approach

 

Naturopathic care focuses on understanding patterns related to your symptoms and to help identify root contributors without jumping to one size fits all protocols. Our clinic's approach is:

• Personalized

• Your plan is designed around your symptoms, health history, preferences, and lab test results

• Evidence informed

• We prioritize options with the best balance of safety, evidence, and practicality

Common Women’s Health Concerns we Treat

 

Menstrual Cycle Irregularities

Many people seek support for irregular cycles, short cycles, long cycles, or unpredictable bleeding. A structured review can help clarify patterns and identify what should be further assessed and supportive strategies to help manage symptoms.

​

Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and pelvic pain

Pelvic pain and painful periods can affect work, relationships, and mental wellbeing. It is important for your healthcare team to take these symptoms seriously and evaluate for contributors such as endometriosis or other pelvic conditions driving these symptoms.

 

Heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) 

Heavy or prolonged bleeding can contribute to fatigue and iron deficiency, and it should be assessed. It can be a result of several underlying conditions and therefore careful assessment and collaborative care with your healthcare team are critical to ensure appropriate screening and discussion around comprehensive treatment options. 

 

PCOS and hormonal imbalance symptoms

PCOS can involve irregular ovulation, androgen related symptoms, and metabolic factors. Support often focuses on symptom management and long term metabolic health in a way that is personalized and sustainable, while working to set a strong foundation for overall health and quality of life. PCOS is not just an ovulatory disorder, it can have far-reaching effects on our overall health and deserves careful assessment and personalized treatment.

 

Thyroid conditions and fatigue

Thyroid imbalance can influence energy, mood, weight changes, digestion, and cycles. A structured review of symptoms and testing can support clarity and coordination with medical management.

 

Perimenopause and menopause

Midlife hormone transition can involve sleep disruption, mood changes, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, libido changes, and metabolic shifts. A personalized plan can support symptom management and long term health foundations.
