Understanding your prescription medications shouldn’t feel overwhelming — and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

One of the most meaningful roles evidence-based Naturopathic Doctors play is helping patients make sense of the medications prescribed by their MD or specialist.

At Restore, our NDs work collaboratively with your medical team to keep your health and wellbeing as our top priority. And this includes helping patients understand a prescribed medication and how it fits in with their overall health goals.

We can help you:
✨ Understand why a medication was recommended
✨ Learn how it works in your body
✨ Know what to expect — benefits, timelines, possible side effects (and how likely are they with respect to internet folklore)
✨ Explore how it fits into your overall health plan, including nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle
✨ Feel less fearful and more empowered in your care

When people understand their medications, they’re more confident, more consistent, and ultimately experience better outcomes. For many, that clarity is the missing piece between anxiety and empowerment.

Medication doesn’t have to feel like a “last resort” — it can be an important tool in your wellbeing, and having a clinician who can explain the full picture makes all the difference.

If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling unsure about a new prescription, we’re here to help you make sense of it — with evidence, compassion, and collaboration at the core.

When you’re in perimenopause, everything can feel like stress; anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, low motivation. But often, it’s not just mental or emotional. There are biological factors at play.

Hormone fluctuations during midlife can disrupt the delicate connection between your brain, thyroid and adrenal glands, essentially affecting how your body handles everyday pressure. It’s important to look at other factors that could be contributing to how you’re feeling.

→ Low nutrient levels can make you feel drained and more anxious.
→ Estrogen and progesterone fluctuations can heighten anxiety and affect sleep.
→ Thyroid shifts can slow metabolism and affect mood. .

That’s why so many midlife women don’t feel like themselves.

At our Toronto wellness clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to perimenopause and menopause care, assessing nutrient status, stress response, thyroid health, overall metabolic balance, as well as the hormonal picture.

Because true wellness is about understanding what your body needs.

“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

If you care for women in the perimenopausal transition, you hear this phrase constantly. And it’s never vague—it’s clinically significant.

As Menopause Society Certified Practitioners and Naturopathic Doctors, when a patient says this, we interpret it as hormonal and mood changes occurring faster than she can consciously track...and it’s also deeply personal in how you feel it.

What we know is that it often means is a constellation of changes such as:

• Emotional reactivity or mood lability that feels “unfamiliar”
• Cognitive fog or reduced stress tolerance
• Sleep that becomes fragile, with early waking or non restorative nights
• Energy fluctuations that feel inconsistent with her effort
• A sense of decreased motivation or vibrancy
• Cycle irregularity or changes in symptom timing
• Weight redistribution—particularly central weight gain—that no longer responds to the strategies that used to work

These concerns aren’t “in her head.” They reflect real alterations in hormonal signalling and neurotransmitter regulation.

Clinically, when we hear this phrase, it prompts us to:
• Assess cycle patterns and symptom timing
• Screen for sleep architecture changes
• Evaluate cognition, mood, and nervous system resiliency
• Review metabolic and thyroid function, as well as nutrient status
• Address body composition changes with evidence-informed strategies
• Explore psychosocial contributors without assuming they’re the cause

Most importantly, it reinforces that perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes. It’s identity, stability, and how a woman experiences herself in her own body.

When we listen deeply, validate, and offer evidence-based support, we help women regain steadiness during one of the most profound physiologic transitions of their lives.

So many women enter perimenopause feeling caught off guard. Like it came out of nowhere. They aren’t sure why their sleep disappears, why their moods shift or why their energy suddenly runs really low.

And as a result it’s easy to feel like midlife is some sort of ending. But with the right care and understanding, it can be a new beginning for you.

Think of perimenopause and menopause like your body’s way of recalibrating, asking for a new kind of care and attention.

At our Toronto wellness clinic, we specialize in helping midlife women navigate perimenopause and menopause with clarity, compassion and science-based care.

From lab testing to lifestyle and nutrition support, we help you understand why you feel the way you do. And how to feel like yourself again.

Feel seen. Feel heard. Feel confident.

🧬 This amino acid helps repair your gut barrier.

One of the most overlooked reasons gut healing stalls is oxidative stress.

That’s where cystine comes in 👇

Cystine is an amino acid your gut relies on during inflammation, stress, illness, surgery, or heavy training. Its main role is supporting glutathione production — one of the most important antioxidants protecting the intestinal lining.

🧬 Cystine → Glutathione

When glutathione is low, oxidative stress damages intestinal cells, weakens tight junctions, and disrupts the gut barrier.

We commonly see this pattern in IBS, IBD, leaky gut, SIBO, post-infectious gut issues, chronic stress, intense training, and post-surgical recovery.

🔬 Research shows cystine can help reduce intestinal permeability, protect tight junctions, and lower inflammatory markers like IL-6.

📊 Early human trials (using cystine + theanine) show reduced inflammation and improved recovery in high-stress clinical settings.

🧪 Clinically, I think about cystine when I see signs of oxidative stress, elevated CRP or IL-6, gut barrier dysfunction, heavy training loads, or exercise-induced GI symptoms.

✨ Repair first. Then rebuild.
This isn’t a forever supplement — it’s a targeted, short-term tool when oxidative stress is the bottleneck.

💾 Save this if gut healing has felt stuck.

Tired? It may not be your hormones

Fatigue is one of the most common concerns we hear from women in midlife, but hormones aren’t always the only cause. Low iron, thyroid issues, poor sleep, stress, nutrition, blood sugar imbalances, and even inflammation can all play a role.

That’s why at Simply Menopause™ we don’t just look at one piece of the puzzle. We take the time to assess your full health picture — labs, lifestyle, nutrition, stress, and hormones — to uncover what’s really driving your fatigue.

Because when you know the “why,” you can finally find the right “how” to restore your energy.

📍If you’re in Leslieville, The Beaches or East Toronto, our clinic focuses specifically on helping women 40+ navigate perimenopause changes with clarity and confidence. No guessing. Simply a clear plan based on your symptoms, your labs and your goals.

How many times have you promised yourself that this would be the year you finally eat healthier, exercise, lose weight, build muscle... only to feel like you’ve blown it the moment the weekend, vacation, or holidays start?

Many women feel like they might as well go all out right now and ‘start fresh in January’... but that’s the all-or-nothing trap that keeps you stuck.

Why not try something different: ‘All or Something.’ It’s not about being perfect; it’s about doing something that keeps you connected to your goals without guilt or feeling like you’re failing.

Your hormone health in perimenopause needs a thoughtful approach…

It’s not just about estrogen, because all of your hormones work as a team. Estrogen, FSH, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid, insulin… they all matter! Looking at just one in isolation won’t give you a full picture of your health.

And yes, symptoms can come and go. That’s part of this season of life. Perimenopause is a transition, not something to fix, so it rarely follows a straight path.

With professional support, your body can adapt. You deserve care that’s on-going, responsive and rooted in evidence-driven protocols.

📍If you’re in Leslieville, The Beaches or East Toronto, our clinic focuses specifically on helping women 40+ navigate perimenopause changes with clarity and confidence. No guessing. Simply a clear plan based on your symptoms, your labs and your goals.
