Endometriosis
If you’ve been told your pain is normal, it isn’t. Endometriosis is a complex, estrogen-driven condition that affects far more than your cycle – it can impact your digestion, energy, mood, and fertility. Naturopathic care works to address the hormonal and inflammatory drivers at the root of the condition.
Menopause & Perimenopause
Menopause is associated with a declining function of the ovaries and thereby a reduction in the hormones that they release, primarily, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. As a consequence, signs and symptoms may present. These include some of the following: hot flashes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, irritability, mood changes, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, bone loss, headaches, urinary incontinence, dizziness, hair loss and weight gain.
Because of the onset of these symptoms, menopause has unfortunately, but understandably, become commonly viewed as a disease state.
The good news is that menopausal symptoms can be treated to ensure that your transition is more smooth and to improve your quality of life.
