Experienced Treating Women's Health

Our Approach

PMS

Our Naturopaths will commonly run Salivary hormone testing - usually day 19-22 Estradiol and Progesterone is sufficient to measure imbalances between the hormones and provide sufficient rationale for natural treatment.


Some of our Naturopathic Doctors' favorite PMS treatments include Vitex, Indole-3-Carbinol, Rosemary and Calcium Glucarate.  

PCOS

The quick and dirty PCOS workup our Naturopathic Doctors do includes sufficient Thyroid testing, Androgen testing (DHEA and Testosterone), LH/FSH and blood glucose.

Vitamin D adequacy and improving sulfation pathways and thyroid functions are key areas our we always address.

Heavy Periods

Our Naturopaths consider Estrogen excess as well as nutritional adequacy - Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin K are key factors in assessing heavy cycles. Uterine tone is occasionally an issue we see in our Edmonton patients which is dealt with by using Raspberry Leaf.

If needed, we may refer in-house to our Nurse Practitioner for Progesterone treatment. 

Menopause

At our clinic we usually measure blood estradiol, progesterone as well as LH & FSH to confirm menopause. Our Naturopathic Doctors usually approach common menopausal symptoms with non-hormonal treatments like Black Cohosh or Siberian Rhubarb initially before considering referral for stronger hormonal treatments.

DHEA, Testosterone, Estradiol and Progesterone are common bioidentical menopause treatments our Nurse Practitioner offers.

Hair Growth and Acne

Our Naturopathic Doctors will certainly check if a deeper female condition such as PCOS is present but we typically run DUTCH hormone testing to look at Testosterone, DHEA and their downstream 5-Alpha Metabolites. Acne cases may also be investigated for Food Allergy or Food sensitivity. 

Saw Palmetto and Chinese Peony are common useful herbs in Women's Health and Zinc also has good utility. 

Hair Loss 

Thyroid!! Our Naturopaths will do a deep dive into Thyroid hormone and Iodine levels as well as run DUTCH testing if the hair loss is occuring in a male-pattern.

We commonly see upregulated DHT activity as women transition into menopause. 

Low Libido

Our Naturopaths' have a preference for blood based Free Testosterone and DHEAs testing is usually because we want to certainly measure the levels but if a referral is needed for bioidentical hormones, blood is the easiest methodology to communicate to other providers like our Nurse Practitioner.

Aphrodisiac herbs and testosterone boosters like Tongkat Ali can be helpful as well as Measuring Vitamin D, K, Boron, Manganese, Zinc and Magnesium.

Our Naturopaths will help you decide on the best testing for you.

Hormone Testing

Salivary Hormone Testing is a common consideration for investigating Women's Health Issues. Our Naturopaths find it clinically relevant in many cases of PMS and menstrual related Women's Health problems.


Salivary testing gives good detail on free hormone levels and the costs are not astronomical. 


However, we do offer Urinary hormone "Dutch" Testing which allows us to see an impressive spread of female hormone metabolites. This is especially helpful in understanding male hormone metabolites in cases of acne and hair growth.

Urinary hormone testing is an amazing technology but it can get expensive so we don't always use it.


Blood based hormone testing can also be used for Women's Health. Our Naturopaths often use blood based testing when starting the work-up for Fertility based women's health concerns. 


Blood based is quick, low cost and gives us data on hormonal signals that can't be measured other ways.

Herbs and Vitamins are mostly used as Women's Health treatments at our Edmonton Naturopath Clinic.

Stronger Hormonal Options

Our Nurse Practitioner Melisse Smith offers Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) in Edmonton.


We work with numerous collaborative professionals in Edmonton to make sure our patients have access to some of these stronger hormone options for more extreme Women's Health cases.  

Our Naturopaths often begin by using Herbs and Vitamins in many Women's Health cases. 

Bio-identical "HRT" options are suggested when strong options are needed and are often easily facilitated by our Nurse Practitioner. 


Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone creams are commonly used for improving hormonal health.

Thyroid and Adrenal gland testing is often used in many Women's Health Cases in addition to female hormone testing and BHRT options are available for these as well.
