Natural Hormone Support for Women in Etobicoke and Ontario

Hormonal shifts such as during premenstrual syndrome (PMS), perimenopause, and menopause can be a normal part of women-hood. As our bodies navigate these shifts, it’s common to experience changes in how we feel.

In clinical practice, we often see patients struggling with symptoms of hormone imbalance, like mood swings, bloating, and cravings, which can be completely normal. However, these signs and symptoms can also be our body signalling that something is wrong.

Your body could be signalling that your hormones are out of sync. These symptoms are not just “part of being a woman." They may be early signs of an underlying hormonal health problem.

  • PCOS is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It’s a complex condition that impacts not only menstrual irregularities, but also, skin, mood, and metabolic health.

    PCOS is a syndrome characterized by:

    • Irregular or missed periods

    • High androgen levels

    • Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound

    • Acne

    • Hirsutism (excess hair growth)

    • Hair loss

    • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

    • Metabolic abnormalities

    • Difficulty conceiving

    Each woman experiences PCOS differently, which is why testing and individualized care is essential.

    Rather than simply masking symptoms with conventional care, Naturopaths aim to uncover the root cause of your hormonal imbalance.

    Whether your PCOS is driven by poor metabolism, inflammation, adrenal dysfunction, or stress, your treatment plan is tailored to your body’s specific needs.

    The goal is to restore hormonal balance, improve cycle regularity and reduce unwanted symptoms naturally.

    Here’s how to get started.

  • Women going through perimenopause or menopause related changes may experience hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances, often believing these symptoms are unavoidable.

    During perimenopause and menopause, women’s body undergo inflammatory shifts, metabolic shifts, an increased stressed response, and more. Addressing these underlying changes can help relieve perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

    If you're experiencing symptoms of:

    • Hot flashes

    • Night sweats

    • Insomnia

    • Mood changes

    • Vaginal dryness

    • Irregular periods

    • Heavy periods

    • Weight gain

    • Decreased libido

    • Headaches

    • Muscle and joint pain

    Naturopath support may be able to help you better manage these changes.

  • Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies the body’s own cells as foreign invaders, like bacteria or viruses, and launches an attack against them. This can result in chronic inflammation.

    Several factors may contribute to the development of autoimmune conditions, including:

    • Genetic predisposition

    • Leaky gut syndrome (disrupted gastrointestinal barrier)

    • Chronic stress

    • Long-term inflammation

    • Overuse of conventional treatments

    These triggers can confuse the immune system and increase the risk of developing autoimmune responses.

    Common Autoimmune Conditions Include:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

    • Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

    • Grave’s Disease

    • Celiac disease

    • Lupus (SLE)

    While conventional medicine tends to suppress the immune system to support autoimmune disease, naturopathic care takes a root-cause approach to managing autoimmune conditions.

    The goal of naturopathy is to reduce inflammation, support immune balance, and restore gut integrity using natural, evidence-informed therapies.

    Personalized plans may include:

    • Anti-inflammatory nutrition and elimination diets

    • Gut healing protocols for leaky gut

    • Targeted supplements

    • Stress management strategies

    • Herbal medicine to modulate immune response

    • Functional lab testing to identify triggers

    Naturopathic treatments can help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life—without suppressing the immune system.

  • Your digestive system plays a central role in your overall well-being and impacting everything from skin health and mood to stress levels, energy, and immune function. A healthy gut is essential for proper nutrient absorption, waste elimination, and long-term wellness.

    When digestion is compromised, symptoms like bloating, heartburn, indigestion, gas, or constipation can affect your daily life and overall health.

    Naturopathic care takes a root-cause approach to managing digestive conditions, helping to restore gut function and relieve discomfort.

    Conditions supported include:

    • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

    • Crohn’s disease

    • Ulcerative colitis

    • GERD (acid reflux)

    • Gallstones

    • Fatty liver disease

    • Chronic constipation or diarrhea

    Naturopaths use a combination of advanced testing, individualized treatment, and holistic therapies to support gut health. Services may include:

    • Comprehensive stool analysis to assess gut flora, pathogens, and inflammation

    • IgG food sensitivity testing to identify triggers contributing to inflammation or symptoms

    • Personalized nutrition and supplement plans

    • Herbal and enzyme therapy for digestion

    • Lifestyle and stress management tools

    Get to the root of your digestive symptoms.

  • The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy levels, and many other bodily functions. Symptoms of thyroid imbalance may include:

    • Fatigue, exhaustion, and low energy

    • Difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain

    • Bloating and constipation

    • Hair thinning or hair loss

    • Brittle nails and dry skin

    • Irregular menstrual cycles

    • Brain fog, low mood, or depression

    Proper thyroid function is essential for physical and mental health. Identifying imbalances early on can lead to more effective treatment outcomes.
