Hormone therapy (also known as Menopause Hormone Therapy or HRT) can be an incredibly effective and evidence-based treatment option for many women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

 

Despite the growing conversation around hormone therapy online, many women are still left feeling confused, dismissed, or unsure about what is actually safe, appropriate, and supported by research.

 

My goal is to help you cut through the noise. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario with prescriptive authority and certification in menopause care through The Menopause Society, I provide individualized, evidence-based hormone therapy assessments and treatment plans tailored specifically to you.

When Is It Important to Consider Hormone Therapy?

​

Hormone therapy may be considered when symptoms of perimenopause or menopause begin significantly impacting quality of life, sleep, mood, relationships, work performance, energy, or long-term health.

​

Common symptoms women seek support for include:

​

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Sleep disruption and insomnia

• Mood changes, anxiety, or irritability

• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

• Vaginal dryness or painful intercourse

• Low libido

• Joint pain and muscle aches

• Weight and body composition changes

• Fatigue and reduced recovery

• Frequent waking overnight

• Early menopause or surgical menopause

​​​

Hormone therapy may also play an important role in supporting bone health and overall quality of life in appropriate candidates.

​

What to Expect

​

Hormone therapy assessments involve comprehensive and collaborative discussions — not rushed decisions.

​

Appointments are designed to give you the time and education needed to understand:

• Risks vs. benefits

• Whether you may be a candidate

• Different types of hormone therapy

• Monitoring and follow-up requirements

• Alternative non-hormonal options

• How hormone therapy fits into your broader health plan

Because menopause care should never feel confusing or dismissive. You deserve evidence-based support, individualized care, and a provider who takes the time to listen.
