Yes.

Today’s best evidence supports the use of Health Canada-approved bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces.  When prescribed thoughtfully and monitored with care, these formulations have a strong safety profile.

Most of the fear around hormone therapy comes from the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study.  This trial included more than 16 000 postmenopausal women, averaging 63 years of age. Many already had high blood pressure, obesity, or heart disease. They were given synthetic hormones — conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) — formulations that are never used at Harmony Health & Hormones.

The study caused widespread fear when headlines suggested hormone therapy was unsafe. What those headlines missed is that these results reflected older women using outdated synthetic hormones, not the bioidentical formulations prescribed today.

All clients begin with baseline bloodwork so we can understand your current hormone levels and rule out other causes of symptoms. Follow-up testing is performed as needed to ensure safe, effective treatment.

This depends on your symptoms. Most people notice improvement within 4-8 weeks, with full benefits typically reached by 3-6 months. Your treatment is gradually and safely adjusted over time based on symptoms, goals, and labs.

I provide hormone optimization for both men an women, including perimenopause, menopause, and andropause.

Women without a uterus still need progesterone for bone, brain, sleep, and metabolic health. Treatment is individualized based on your age, symptoms, and health history.

Once you start therapy, follow-ups occur every 3 months for the first year. After that, most clients transition to every 6 months, depending on your stability, goals, and how you're feeling.

If you ever need more support, we can create a personalized plan that meets your needs.

Yes — when properly dosed, testosterone is beneficial for mood, libido, strength, and metabolic health.

I partner with a specialized compounding pharmacy for certain formulations to ensure consistency, accuracy, and quality. If you prefer to use your own pharmacy for standard prescriptions, we can discuss what is possible.
