Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment that restores hormone levels—primarily estrogen and sometimes progesterone or testosterone—to reduce menopause symptoms. It can be delivered in several forms, such as pills, patches, creams, or vaginal applications.
At our Vaughan clinic, HRT is one of many tools we offer as part of our holistic menopause care. If you’re struggling with severe hot flashes, sleep issues, mood swings, or vaginal dryness, HRT may offer significant relief.
Not every woman needs or wants hormone therapy—and that’s completely okay. Our role is to help you understand the options, risks, and benefits based on your symptoms, preferences, and medical history.
You may benefit from HRT if you:
Experience persistent hot flashes and night sweats
Have difficulty sleeping due to hormonal shifts
Are struggling with vaginal dryness or discomfort during intimacy
Feel impacted by mood swings or low energy levels
Want to support your bone health as you age
We work closely with you to evaluate your goals, discuss potential side effects, and determine the safest course of action.
Every hormone therapy plan begins with a comprehensive medical assessment, including:
Detailed symptom review and medical history
Blood work (if needed)
Review of lifestyle and preferences
Informed discussion of HRT and non-HRT options
We provide written recommendations and coordinate with your family doctor or gynecologist if needed. You are never pressured into treatment—our job is to inform and support you.
If you’re already under the care of a family doctor or specialist, we’re happy to work alongside them. Our team provides a detailed care summary to help ensure that all your providers are on the same page.
We believe menopause care should be collaborative, not fragmented.
Women across Vaughan trust us for our:
Integrated team of medical doctors, naturopaths, therapists, and fitness specialists
Personalized plans that reflect your goals, symptoms, and preferences
Transparent care with OHIP-covered services where applicable
Comfortable environment where you are heard, supported, and guided through each step
This is menopause care reimagined—with you at the center.
Many patients also benefit from our related services, including Hormonal Health Optimization, Mental & Emotional Health Therapy, Nutritional Coaching for Women’s Health, and Sexual Wellness & Intimacy Support. These services can be added to your care plan based on your needs and preferences.
What symptoms does HRT help with?
It is especially effective for hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and mood swings related to hormone loss.
Is HRT safe?
For most women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, HRT is considered safe when medically supervised. We assess your risk factors before recommending it.
Do you offer bioidentical hormones?
Yes. We offer both regulated bioidentical and conventional options, based on your needs and what’s appropriate for your health profile.
How long does HRT take to work?
Some women notice improvements within a few weeks, while others take longer. We monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed.
Is it covered by OHIP?
The medical consultation and HRT evaluation are covered under OHIP. The hormone prescriptions themselves may require private insurance or out-of-pocket payment.
