Hormones & Women’s Health at Sequence Wellness
Naturopathic Support for Perimenopause, Menopause, PMS, Thyroid Health & Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Across Ontario
Women’s hormonal health is one of the most common—and most overlooked—areas of care in Canada. Many women spend years navigating fatigue, mood changes, irregular cycles, weight shifts, skin changes, sleep disruption, or digestive symptoms without receiving clear answers.
At Sequence Wellness, our team of licensed naturopathic doctors in Ontario takes an evidence-informed, whole-person approach to hormone health. Whether you are experiencing PMS, transitioning through perimenopause, or exploring bioidentical menopausal hormone therapy (BHRT), we help you understand what is happening in your body and what your options are.
We offer virtual appointments across Ontario, allowing women in both large cities and rural communities to access comprehensive hormonal care.

Our Approach to Hormonal Care | The Process
Every woman is an individual, but we have a systematic approach that allows for thoroughness as well as safety, as we abide by research supported medical guidelines to inform our assessment and care plans.
Comprehensive Assessment
Your initial visit includes a detailed health history exploring:
- Symptoms
- Sleep
- Stress
- Cycle history
- Metabolism
- Lifestyle factors
- Digestive patterns
- Family history
We assess your symptoms through a root-cause lens—not just isolated complaints.
Evidence-Informed Lab Testing
We may recommend:
- Hormone panels (serum or DUTCH-type testing depending on goals)
- Thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3, thyroid antibodies)
- Iron, ferritin, B12, vitamin D
- Metabolic markers (glucose, insulin, lipids)
Testing helps clarify what is driving your symptoms and guides safe hormone therapy when indicated.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Your plan may include:
- Nutrition therapy
- Herbal medicine
- Supplements (evidence-informed, goal-specific)
- Lifestyle and stress strategies
- Bioidentical menopausal hormone therapy (when appropriate)
- Collaboration with your primary care provider
