When something feels “off,” the effects can be far-reaching—and for those with complex diagnoses or undergoing cancer treatment, hormonal disruptions can be especially profound.
At the Marsden Centre, we take a whole-system approach to hormonal care. Hormones don’t act in isolation—they’re influenced by your metabolism, gut function, thyroid and adrenal health, and more. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive assessment, looking at how your body’s key systems interact and where imbalances may be occurring.
Metabolic health is a critical part of the puzzle.
Issues like insulin resistance, changes in fat distribution, and decreased physical conditioning can all impact hormonal balance. We also carefully assess gastrointestinal function, as your gut plays a central role in metabolizing and clearing hormones from the body.
From estrogen and progesterone to testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol, we work to restore healthy function through personalized care plans. These may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, digestive and metabolic support, and—when appropriate—bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Depending on your needs, we coordinate care between naturopathic doctors (NDs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and MDs to ensure safe, evidence-informed treatment.
For patients navigating or recovering from cancer care, hormonal and sexual health are often significantly affected—and too often overlooked. We provide a safe, supportive space to address these changes, restore vitality, and improve quality of life.
Balancing hormones is not just about managing symptoms; it’s about helping you feel whole again. With thoughtful care and expert guidance, we support your body in finding its balance—so you can reconnect with strength, energy, and the sense of wellness you deserve.

Yes. We regularly work with patients experiencing hot flashes, irregular cycles, mood changes, sleep disruptions, PMS, and other hormone-related symptoms across the lifespan. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or ongoing menstrual concerns, we tailor care to your unique experience and goals—using evidence-based therapies to restore balance and improve quality of life.
We use a combination of blood, saliva, and urine tests depending on your symptoms, age, and health goals. These tests can assess levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and insulin, as well as how your body metabolizes and clears hormones. We’ll guide you through the most appropriate testing during your assessment.
Treatment starts with understanding how your hormones are interacting with systems like metabolism, gut health, and stress regulation. Based on your results, we may recommend targeted dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal or nutritional support, and in some cases, bioidentical hormone therapy. Everything is personalized to support safe, effective, and sustainable care.
Yes. For appropriate patients, we offer BHRT as part of an integrative care plan. BHRT can be helpful for perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, and other conditions where hormone levels are significantly disrupted. Your treatment is carefully monitored and coordinated with our medical team for safety and effectiveness.
Absolutely. Hormones influence everything from mood and brain fog to how your body burns energy, builds muscle, and stores fat. Many patients come to us feeling “off” without a clear diagnosis—only to discover that hormones are a key part of the picture. If that sounds like you, you're not alone—and we’re here to help.
We take a whole-system view. Hormones don’t operate in isolation, so we look at how your gut, metabolism, thyroid, adrenals, and lifestyle all interact. Our collaborative care model allows NDs, NPs, and MDs to work together on your behalf—so you get integrative, personalized support from a team that understands the full picture.
