Hormones influence far more than just your menstrual cycle. They affect your energy, mood, sleep, weight, skin, and how your body responds to stress. When they're out of balance, the impact can be felt throughout your daily life.
If you've been told your labs are "normal" but continue to struggle with symptoms, or if birth control has been the only solution offered when you're looking for something different, you're not alone. At Oak Clinic, we recognize that standard testing often misses the full picture, and that meaningful hormonal care requires looking deeper.
Whether you're just beginning to seek answers or you've already tried multiple approaches, we offer evidence-informed care that's tailored to your unique situation, addressing not just your symptoms, but the underlying factors driving hormonal imbalance.
Our naturopathic doctors and registered acupuncturist work with patients experiencing:
Hormones don't work in isolation. A truly effective treatment plan considers the whole picture: your menstrual history, stress levels, digestion, blood sugar regulation, liver function, nutrient status, sleep, and lifestyle factors.
During your initial naturopathic consultation, we take the time to understand your unique situation and health history. From there, we develop an evidence-informed plan tailored to your specific needs.
We offer a range of testing options to help us understand your hormonal health more completely:
Testing is always individualized based on your symptoms, history, and what will be most helpful in guiding your treatment. Not every patient needs extensive labs, but when additional information would be valuable, we have the tools available.
We offer a wide range of therapeutic tools, used thoughtfully and tailored to your body and goals:
We believe the best outcomes come from an integrative approach—combining the right tools for your body, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Hormonal imbalances don't resolve overnight. Most patients begin to notice improvements within the first few months of treatment, but meaningful, lasting change typically requires at least three months of consistent care and for many, ongoing management is key to maintaining balance long-term.
We'll work with you every step of the way, adjusting your treatment plan as your body responds and your needs evolve.
While we can operate independently, we value collaboration with your other healthcare providers when possible. If you have a family doctor or specialist involved in your care, we're happy to communicate and coordinate to ensure you're getting the best support from all sides.
We offer options when conventional care feels limited. Many patients come to us because they've been offered only birth control or told to "wait and see." We provide alternatives and when medication is the right choice, we can prescribe it alongside supportive therapies.
We test more thoroughly. Standard labs often miss subclinical imbalances or only capture a snapshot. We dig deeper to understand what's really going on.
We treat the root cause, not just symptoms. Hormones are influenced by gut health, liver function, stress, inflammation, blood sugar, and more. We address the underlying factors driving imbalance.
We listen. Your experience matters. If something doesn't feel right, we take that seriously, even when the labs say otherwise.
