Naturopath for hormones
My hormones are all over the place.
Your cycle used to be predictable. Now your sleep, mood or energy seem to ride along with it. A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) maps what's changing against your cycle, and you shape a plan together. PMS, irregular cycles and questions about PCOS all start there, alongside your family doctor.
Does any of this sound like you?

- My periods have changed: heavier, lighter, closer together or further apart.
- The week before my period feels like a different person's week.
- My mood dips on a schedule.
- My sleep gets worse at the same point every cycle.
- I've been told it could be PCOS, and I have questions.
- I track my cycle in an app and still can't see the pattern.
- Since I stopped birth control, things haven't settled.
- My energy and appetite swing through the month.
What the ND looks at: your month, mapped.
- Your cycle, week by week. Length, flow, and which symptoms land when. Bring your tracking app if you use one.
- Recent changes. A baby, stopping birth control, a new job, a move.
- Sleep. How it shifts across the month.
- Food and digestion. Meals, cravings and how your gut behaves around your period.
- Stress and workload. What a heavy month does to the next one.
- Results and anything you take. Bloodwork you already have, plus medications and supplements.
Perimenopause or menopause?
That has its own page, with what the ND looks at in the years around your last period.
Tests, only if useful
Hormone testing can sound like it should answer everything. Sometimes it adds something useful, sometimes it doesn't. The ND explains which, and the timing in your cycle, before anything is ordered. Ontario NDs can requisition certain lab tests, paid privately at lab cost and quoted first.
How it goes
A free 10-minute call. Say what's changed in your cycle and ask how the ND works.
A plan you can track. It may include diet, supplements, lifestyle changes and lab testing.
Follow-ups timed to your cycle where useful. 30 or 60 minutes each.
When it's a job for your family doctor
Some cycle changes need a medical doctor or nurse practitioner, such as bleeding that is suddenly much heavier than your normal. If the ND sees signs like that, you'll be told plainly and referred. With your permission, the ND shares findings with your family doctor. If you feel suddenly unwell, see your doctor or call 911.
What affects the cost
You pay for each visit as it happens. Follow-ups are 30 or 60 minutes, and labs are at cost. No bundles, no prepaying. Receipts are itemized for your extended health plan.

good questions
Before you book.
Can a naturopath help with hormones?
An ND can assess your cycle, symptoms and history, look at results you have, and build a plan with you. Follow-ups look at what has changed and adjust the plan.
Can a naturopath help with PMS?
PMS is one of the things the ND asks about in detail: which days, which symptoms, and what else is going on. The plan starts from that map.
Do you do hormone testing?
Sometimes. Ontario NDs can requisition certain lab tests. The ND explains what a test would add and its cost before anything is ordered.
I've been told I might have PCOS. Can I come in?
Yes. Bring what you've been told and any results. The ND looks at your cycle, food, sleep and stress, and works alongside your family doctor.
Bring your cycle notes to a free call.
