🙌

Every stage of life deserves care that feels supportive, informed, and empowering.

At Healthy Foundations, every practitioner on our team is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) through The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS).

This MSCP certification represents additional training and examination in menopause medicine allowing us to stay current with the latest research and clinical recommendations so we can better support you through perimenopause and menopause.

We know this chapter can come with change, sometimes confusing, sometimes empowering, but we’re here to help you understand what’s happening in your body, explore safe options, and feel supported along the way.

With some new faces around here, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves and share our vision.

Healthy Foundations began with a simple belief: that by providing the right tools and guidance, we could empower people in our community to feel their best. While that remains at our core, over time our focus has shifted.

Through countless conversations with women of all ages, we’ve learned something important: women’s health has not received the attention, research, or care it deserves. And we knew it was time for a change.

Today, Healthy Foundations has grown into a team of naturopathic doctors dedicated to women’s health supporting everything from period health, PCOS, and endometriosis, to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.

Our team is passionate about evidence-based medicine, and about listening, supporting, and guiding women through every stage of life. 💛

With love, the HFNC team

This is pretty neat, cholesterol & menopause ….what is the link;

Around menopause, starting about a year before and continuing a year after, your body’s ability to handles cholesterol changes. This is mainly due to the natural drop in estrogen, which plays a huge role in keeping your heart healthy.

Here’s what science shows:
• LDL cholesterol goes up.
• Total cholesterol and ApoB levels increase, meaning more potentially harmful cholesterol particles in your bloodstream.
• HDL cholesterol may not decrease in amount, but it can become less protective, sometimes even turning less friendly to your arteries.

BUT here’s the empowering truth: knowing this gives you power.

This phase is a crucial window to take intentional steps, through nourishing foods, movement that feels good, stress management, and medical care…to protect your heart and thrive 💛.

Menopause is a transition, not a setback. Your heart health matters now more than ever, and with the right support, you can embrace this stage with strength and vitality.
