1. Thorough Health History
Our doctors get a full picture of hormonal symptoms and then order lab work. Common complaints include fatigue, lack of sleep, weight gain, low libido, stress, hair changes, infertility, PMS, and menopause or andropause.
2. Hormone testing
We order saliva testing and/or blood work to check your male or female hormone levels. We can also check related values, such as vitamin D or thyroid hormones. Our testing methods are accurate and help manage dosing of BHRT.
3. Customized Treatment Plan
A well-rounded treatment plan that comes with tailored BHRT dosing and instructions, nutritional and botanical support for anti-aging, and lifestyle suggestions to help your body get the most out of hormone therapy.
Why balance hormones?
At all stages of life, hormones are the body’s communicators, influencing:
- Energy and stress levels
- Menopause or andropause symptoms
- Libido
- Monthly cycles
- Fertility
- Sleep quality
- Blood sugar
- Weight and metabolism
- Mood and mindset
- Skin health
- And more
We provide bio-identical hormone therapy that matches your body’s needs and can provide symptom relief within the first 2-3 weeks of treatment.
In addition, naturopathic supplement plans are available for those looking to regulate hormones without BHRT. Visit our Men’s and Women’s pages above to learn more, or schedule a free 10-minute phone consultation.

FAQ
Check out some frequently asked questions about hormone treatment below:
Do you offer Telemedicine Appointments as well as in-office?
Yes, we have both in-office and virtual appointments available, and we can work with WA patients who live outside of Vancouver.
What types of hormone testing do you offer?
We offer salivary and urine testing, which is most accurate for free levels of hormones. We also offer blood work for certain hormone markers that are best measured that way.
What are common male and female hormones that are tested?
For men — testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol is most helpful to test. For women, we test estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol. Other relevant labs could include CBC, chemistry, lipids, thyroid, vitamin D, inflammation markers, and glucose if these values could be affecting hormone levels.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT is natural therapy for hormone supplentation, involving the use of plant-derived creams, pills, patches, troches, or injections that are made in a lab to match the body’s own production of the hormone. Because the hormones are a match, the body can find symptom relief and vitality with minimal to no side-effects from treatment.
Is BHRT safe to take?
BHRT involves replacement of hormones in a way that matches your own body’s production. It supports the body’s hormone needs with minimal to no side effects when administered properly. With our attention to dose adjustment and retest/follow-up options, we make your hormone journey a safe, simple, and effective one.
Can I get hormone balancing done using supplements instead?
Our naturopathic doctors are trained in nutritional and botanical treatments to balance hormones if you prefer that route instead of BHRT. After test results are ready, we present you with options and discuss which type of treatment you are leaning toward. Both BHRT and supplement plans are available, as well as combination plans.
