What Hormone Replacement Therapy Is and Who It Is For
Hormone replacement therapy replaces or supplements hormones that have dropped or shifted with age or a life stage. When levels change, energy, mood, sleep, thinking, libido and overall quality of life can change with them.
It may suit you if you're moving through perimenopause or menopause, or if you're a man noticing the changes that come with andropause. People often reach us after months of feeling not quite themselves and wanting to understand why. Whether hormone therapy is right for you is a decision made after assessment and testing, not assumed at the door.

How the Assessment Works
Hormone therapy starts with understanding your picture before anything is prescribed. Here's the sequence.
- 01
Comprehensive assessment
Your practitioner takes a full history: your symptoms, how long they've been going on, your lifestyle, medications and what you want to feel like again. - 02
Appropriate testing
Testing helps show what's happening with your hormone levels so decisions rest on data rather than guesswork. Your practitioner explains what's being checked and why. - 03
Deciding if it fits
With the results in hand, your practitioner talks through whether hormone therapy may be suitable for you, along with the benefits, risks and other options. - 04
Your treatment plan
If you go ahead, the plan is tailored to your history and goals, with follow-up to see how you're responding and adjust as needed.
What It Costs and What Covers It
You'll get a clear picture of consultation and testing fees before you're subject to any of them. We explain the costs up front and give you itemized receipts.
Hormone therapy is generally not covered by provincial health plans. Some extended health benefits may reimburse naturopathic or related consultations depending on your policy, so check your coverage and keep your receipts. Testing may carry its own fee depending on what's ordered.
If money is a factor in how you pace your care, say so. Your practitioner would rather build a plan you can follow than one you've to abandon.
Why Choose Balance for Hormone Support in Burlington
Hormones rarely sit on their own. Sleep, stress, nutrition and movement all pull on them, which is why our approach looks at the whole picture rather than a single number on a lab sheet. Your hormone plan can run alongside naturopathy and support for fatigue when that's what your situation calls for.
The clinic is on Appleby Line in Burlington with free parking, and we see people travelling in from Oakville, Milton and Waterdown for a preventative, collaborative approach to their health. You work with practitioners who take the time to explain what they're seeing so you can make an informed choice.
