Women's Health
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
Bio-identical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced naturally by our bodies. They include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, cortisol and thyroid hormones. Hormones are messengers that influence absolutely every system in the body, making them vital to health and well-being. Peri-menopause and menopause can be tumultuous for many women robbing them of their energy and vitality as they move through their 40’s and 50’s. I have developed an expertise in helping women regain hormonal balance safely, and with it their health.

Vaginal and reproductive health are reflections of the body’s overall state of health.

I have a passion for educating women of all ages on how to best navigate their reproductive health in all phases of life.

HPV INFECTIONS
Abnormal pap smears and HPV are other areas where Naturopathic Medicine offers support and treatment when mainstream medicine has little to offer. HPV is a very common sexually transmitted virus that can cause different types of cancer. It is estimated that 42% of adults ages 18-59 have HPV and there are an estimated 14 million new cases diagnosed every year. I treat both the internal viral load of HPV by supporting the immune system as well as any abnormal cells that are present locally.
