FAQs

Do I need hormone testing?

Naturopaths can order bloodwork through Lifelabs to assess follicular and luteal hormone levels. Testing can be helpful to assess whether healthy ovulation is happening, or to see whether any hormone is in excess or deficient and potentially contributing to symptoms.

Absolutely! Supporting hormones naturally is the best way to address the underlying cause of hormonal imbalance. Other approaches like birth control pills can “mask” the symptoms, but through intentional supplementation, nutrition, and lifestyle changes can produce long-lasting change.

can I balance hormones naturally?

Unfortunately, hormonal birth control can be contributing to menstrual symptoms. However, it can be beneficial to prevent unwanted pregnancy, so this is a discussion to have with your naturopath and romantic partner (if applicable) to see whether this may be right for you and your health.

should i stop taking birth control?
