Perimenopause and menopause are natural life transitions. They are not diseases to treat, deficiencies to correct, problems to solve, and having symptoms can be a sign of good health.
A naturopathic approach aims to honour our hormone transitions and to support our bodies through the changes. This means understanding what is happening in your body, addressing root causes, and building resilience through natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments.
If you have been experiencing irregular periods, unexplained weight gain, hirsutism, or persistent acne that refuses to respond to treatment, you may have wondered whether PCOS could be the cause.
The average patient waits several years and visits multiple doctors before receiving a proper diagnosis. And once diagnosed, the conversation often stops at oral contraceptives, with little exploration of why your body is struggling in the first place.
This is why more women across Ontario are turning to Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) for PCOS support. Not as a replacement for conventional care, but as a complement to it.
