WOMEN’S HEALTH SERVICES
Dr. Elise Schroeder treats every phase of a woman's health. She has a wholistic approach that not only focuses on the symptoms at hand, but looks at the whole body. Her specialities are perimenopause and menopause, fertility, and menstrual irregularities or complaints.
MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES
Periods. For some they are an easy monthly reminder of fertility, and for others they are unpredictable or riddled with difficulties such as pain, PMS, or heavy bleeding. To those of you in this latter category, I'm here to tell you that it is possible to have easier, more predictable periods! Let's talk!
FERTILITY
A naturopathic approach to fertility includes what I call “broadening the beam”. Like your conventional healthcare providers, I want to make sure that the ovaries and uterus are healthy, but I also want to “broaden the beam” and look at the rest of the body as well. No organ lives in a vacuum. The health of one organ (in this case the ovaries and uterus) is affected by the health of the rest of the body.
Naturopathic fertility care can be effective for natural conception or in combination with acupuncture or assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF and intrauterine insemination.
MENOPAUSE
It can start in the 30’s: changes in sleep patterns, worsening PMS, period changes, difficulty with weight maintenance. It’s the start of perimenopause. Women can live with the symptoms of hormone decline for 10 years or more as they approach menopause. Luckily, I’ve got you covered. Naturopathic approaches to menopause can not only ease the symptoms, but help you feel your fully vital self.
HORMONE REPAIR
Hormones are chemical messengers found throughout the body. They affect energy, memory, weight, menstrual cycles, libido, fertility and more. Balancing hormones, can veritably improve your life.
