Multiple studies have found that increasing iron rich sources of food in your diet alone is almost never enough to get your iron levels to where they should be when you are in a state of deficiency or full blown anemia. ⁠
⁠
ESPECIALLY if you menstruate regularly.⁠
⁠
I 100% support making nutritional changes that benefit how you feel, but if you are iron deficient, you most likely need more than iron rich foods to replete your iron. ⁠
⁠
Iron deficiency anemia shows up on regular screening blood work only AFTER you have become severely depleted. ⁠
⁠
But anemia doesn't happen overnight and signs of iron deficiency can be identified earlier with appropriate testing. ⁠
⁠
Sure, add in those iron rich foods in if they help you feel better, but if you're already depleted, you likely need to supplement and might even need more than what you think.⁠
⁠
Test, treat, retest, and make sure you get your iron up to where it needs to be so you can stop pretending it is "not bad". ⁠

🌎Happy Earth Day.🌍

Every day needs to be Earth Day - by way of our actions, mindfulness and gratitude.

Little changes, and habits do make a difference to the environment.

Im revisiting the words of Robin Wall Kimmerer, the author of my favourite book, Braiding Sweetgrass.

How are you celebrating the earth and its gifts today? How are you showing reciprocity and returning the gift?

Let me know in the comments :)

How many of these “experiences” are you ✅?

Perimenopause is the TRANSITION from reproductive years to the final menstrual period.

While the roadmap of Perimenopause varies individually, and often includes twists, turns, & bumps, know that all of the symptoms pictured here ( plus others not noted) can be addressed !

You don’t have to “put up with it”. You need a healthcare team that is knowledgeable and wants to build a strategic plan with you.

And YES, you are totally still a badass - wherever you are on the journey.

I’ll be presenting a webinar next month all about Perimenopause; the truths you need to know, the myths, the hormones, the symptoms, the strategies….stay tuned for the details and registration link - its coming soon!

Evidence Based Medicine is How. I. Roll….

Its how my practice partner rolls. (I have learned A LOT from her and on this front).

This is how we approach Women’s Healthcare.

This is how we approach Menopause Care.

It’s not an either or, ( us vs. Your MD) - its a complement & a collaboration.

Its shared decision making with the person who knows your body best - YOU.

Its about making the time to always keep learning, keep reading, and organizing those research papers

I do it, because you deserve healthcare that is not based on trends & fads, and ideas that sell lots of supplements & “fancy tests”.

I do it, because I want women to thrive and feel confident in their healthcare.

March is ENDOMETRIOSIS awareness month.

Here are some FACTS :

⚡️Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynaecological condition that affects people with a uterus, and it’s hallmark symptom is PAIN.

⚡️Symptoms include (but are not limited to) : pelvic pain with periods, pelvic pain outside the period, painful vaginal in*******se, pain with urinating, pain with bowel movements, infertility, fatigue, heavy periods and bleeding outside the period.

⚡️Symptoms are caused by the presence of extrauterine (aka outside the uterus) growths of endometrial tissue (the lining of the uterus). These tissues are sensitive to hormonal fluctuations and grow and bleed with the menstrual cycle.

⚡️There are more than 1 million people in canada living with endometriosis.

⚡️People wait 5+ years on average for diagnosis (the gold standard of which is minimally invasive laproscopic surgery).

⚡️Endometriosis causes a significant loss of quality of life and daily functioning.

All those with Endometriosis deserve our healthcare system to do better for them. While there are doctors paving the way for better assessment, diagnosis, and treatment (like and his colleagues at McMaster) we still have a long way to go to help minimize the pain & burden endometriosis causes to those who live with it.

Visit to find out how you can help advocate for a Canadian national action plan for Endometriosis . I am writing a letter to my MP this afternoon!

I will post more this week about integrative treatment options for endometriosis & painful periods.

Hormone changes at menopause come with some possible health changes. Did you realize your hormones up to this point we're doing some awesome things?!

Menopause is not a disease,
it is a stage of life,
It is an opportunity.

The symptoms above can be treated effectively, and even prevented. It takes a plan, and it takes a team. It's what menopause practitioners like me, and .bronwynhill do!!!

In the process, you stop suffering, you take control, and you achieve better health for the next 50 years

Perhaps it's time for you to grab YOUR window of opportunity?

Hello!!

Time for an introduction/re-introduction. I’m Dr. Bronwyn Hill, Naturopathic Doctor. I am a fired-up, geek’ed-up clinician on all things Women’s health, hormones & menopause practice.

I have been in practice for 10 years and helped hundreds of women feeling overwhelmed, turned OFF (in more ways than one) , and like they are in a body that is not their own. Working with these women sparked a 🔥 in me - to be a doctor that can truly help change the narrative of the perimenopause & menopause experience.

I am excited to share with you where and how I will be continuing on this mission…

DRUMROLL

📢📢 I have joined the team at Dr. Kara ND & Associates! 👩‍⚕️👯‍♀️

I am thrilled to return to practice alongside a colleague that has long inspired me.

Dr. Kara Dionisio ND is an incredibly experienced & dedicated clinician. Through her hard work and knowledge she is helping set the bar so much higher for women’s healthcare.
She is a leader & educator in menopause practice, which is a specialty I am passionately committed to. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to continue learning from her, and together provide more women with a positive & empowering healthcare experience.

If you have not already, check out , you can thank me later for introducing you to her corner of instagram 👍😉.

I am now accepting new & existing patients virtually from anywhere in Ontario, and in-person in Owen Sound.

Ever wondered if Perimenopause is to blame ?

•Irregular periods, worsening PMS , changes in menstrual bleeding

•Insomnia & sleep disruption

•Night sweats and hot flashes

•Mood changes and foggy thinking

•Unexplained weight gain

Well....you would not be alone, and yes, certain hormone changes in our mid-late 30’s and 40’s are responsible for “perimenopause” - which to be clear is not a diagnosis but rather a life-stage.

If you have questions about this topic, I am running a virtual Masterclass on December 16th , from 7:30-8:30 pm EST.

Perimenopause - What Every Woman Deserves to Know.

In this masterclass you will learn:

> What body & brain changes can and do occur in perimenopause and why

> Testing ; is it necessary and what insights might it provide?

> Daily life practices and strategies that support hormonal health & truly help you feel better

> How advocating for yourself and being proactive in perimenopause can set the stage for a smoother, healthy transition through menopause

The virtual masterclass is FREE but you need to register as seats are limited.

When I say HORMONES, what comes to mind??⠀
⠀
I get the sense that a lot of women go first to the concept of hormones being either balanced or unbalanced. There is a lot of talk about hormone imbalances out there and it can leave you wondering or even assuming that your hormones must be out of whack.⠀
⠀
The truth is, its not always as simple as being “balanced” or not. While there are some conditions that are characterized by a frank imbalance ( PCOS, cushings, hyper/hypothyroidism ex) the reality is that our hormones are constantly changing, ebbing and flowing both in the short and long term. We make a lot of different hormones in our body, and they all interact with each-other and the environment (our body) they are in. ⠀
⠀
As women we go through several hormonal transitions in our lives; from puberty, to pregnancy and post-partum, to perimenopause and menopause. ⠀
⠀
As a naturopathic doctor focused on women’s health and hormonal health ; I see lots of women in my practice coming in to troubleshoot things around the times of transition. When things are changing, it can often leave women feeling out of control, frustrated and uncomfortable in their bodies. My goal is to encourage something I like to call “hormonal resiliency”. That would include assessing and/or managing any overt imbalances but also focusing on how to help all women feel their best, thrive and work with their hormones during times of transition.⠀
⠀
So for the month of May ( and into June) I am going to run a hormone bootcamp series on IG. Through a series of posts, stories, and maybe even some IG lives (these scare me!!) - I will share with you what I believe women deserve to know about their hormones. ⠀
⠀
Each week will focus on a different hormone and my goal is to cover everything from the basics of what the hormone does for us, signs and symptoms of functional & overt imbalances, testing considerations, and of course what women can do in the day-to-day to support hormone resiliency.⠀
⠀
We are kicking things off this week with........CORTISOL! ⠀
⠀
Got a hormone question for me or a topic you want tackled - I wanna know !! So shoot me a comment or DM.⠀
