Active and athletic women are capable of awe-inspiring feats of strength and endurance. Yet behind the scenes, they often feel unexplainable exhaustion, anxiety, and discomfort.

Unfortunately, these concerns are often dismissed in most healthcare settings or explained away as a consequence of the training. Because many active women appear healthy from the outside, many don’t receive the tests and support they deserve.

We don’t accept stopping your sport as a solution to your symptoms. Our goal is to provide athlete-specific support to help you achieve incredible performance and outstanding health.

As a female athlete, hormones can often feel like a nuisance — an unpredictable factor that gets in the way of your best energy and performance.

Hormones can disrupt training and life by causing irregular periods, painful cycles, huge swings in mood and motivation, and severe fatigue. On top of that, hormonal symptoms tend to change through each age and stage women go through (puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause).

Women have long been offered the pill as their only solution to suppress these concerns. However, emerging research on women suggests that female hormones are actually a superpower for fitness and strength. With our tailored approach, we can help you understand, nurture, and leverage your hormones to unlock your best performance and best self.

Don’t let your health hold you back from making progress in the gym and on the field.

Active women are at higher risk of key conditions such as iron deficiency, poor body image, eating disorders, anxiety and hormone disruption. Despite this, they are not being offered proactive or preventative care. Avoid these setbacks and struggles by following a tailored plan that keeps your performance and long-term health in mind.

By working with a Naturopathic Doctor focused on athlete health, you will:

• Receive testing to identify any nutritional or hormonal areas that need support
• Create an informed plan to optimize your nutrition and lifestyle for health and performance
• Treatment options for key concerns, including supplement prescriptions, pharmaceutical prescriptions and intravenous vitamin & iron infusions
