Hormone Health
Your hormones aren’t the problem. They’re the messengers. Let’s listen.
If you feel like your hormones are running the show, you're not alone. Hormones affect nearly everything—mood, energy, weight, fertility, sleep, skin—and hormonal imbalances can show up in frustrating and often confusing ways. But these symptoms are messages, not random.
At Beam Health, we offer comprehensive, evidence-informed support for hormonal health. Whether you’re navigating your cycle, preparing for pregnancy, managing PMDD, or entering menopause, we help you understand what your body is trying to communicate and how to restore balance.
You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered at every stage of hormonal change.
From painful periods and hormonal acne to perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, and post-birth control recovery—hormonal symptoms are common, but that doesn’t make them normal.

Naturopathic Hormone Testing Options
At Beam Health in Kelowna, our naturopathic testing for hormonal health explores multiple systems.
We investigate several factors, including:
Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity
Adrenal and stress hormone function (cortisol, DHEA)
Thyroid health (including subclinical dysfunction often missed in basic labs)
Liver and gut function (which support hormone clearance and detoxification)
Nervous system resilience and chronic stress patterns
Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, zinc)
Post-birth control hormone shifts
Genetic variations (e.g., MTHFR, estrogen detox pathways)
Hormone testing and assessments can include:
Hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, LH, FSH)
Cortisol
2hr insulin tolerance
HbA1c
ESR / CRP
Uric acid
Liver enzymes (AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, bilirubin)

Counselling for Hormonal Health
Hormonal health is almost never just a physical experience, it can be a deeply emotional one as well.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of PCSO, endometriosis, fertility journeys, or the shifts of perimenopause, these transitions can place a significant load on your nervous system.
Clinical Counselling provides the essential space to process the psychological impact. Stress and trauma can act as ‘hormonal disruptors’, keeping the body in a state of high alert that can hinder healing. By integrating somatic tools and nervous system regulation alongside your naturopathic treatment, we work to lower your internal stress experience.
Together, we ensure that while your hormones are being taken care of, your mind feels supported and resilient.
Acupuncture for Hormones
Acupuncture supports hormonal health by helping regulate communication between the brain, nervous system, and endocrine system.
By reducing stress on the body and improving circulation, treatments can encourage more balanced hormone signaling and healthier cycle patterns.
Many people use acupuncture to support concerns such as PMS, irregular or painful periods, mood changes, and symptoms associated with hormonal fluctuations.
Over time, care focuses on restoring internal balance and supporting the body’s natural rhythms rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
