Movement meets hormone health 💪⁠
⁠
Join The Clara Clinic × Limber Studios for an evening of movement and practical women’s health education exploring how strength training can support PCOS, PMS & metabolic health.⁠
⁠
Dr. Simone Pirita, ND will break down how movement, muscle and metabolic health intersect with hormones — including the role of muscle in glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity, where movement may fit when navigating hormonal symptoms, and why recovery matters too.⁠
⁠
The evening will combine:⁠
• Low-impact movement led by Limber Studios⁠
• An evidence-informed conversation with Dr. Simone Pirita, ND⁠
• Live Q&A and plenty of time for your questions⁠
⁠
📅 Sunday, November 8th at 2:00 PM⁠
📍 Limber Studios⁠
🎟 Complimentary — limited to 12 spots⁠
⁠
Sign up through the link in bio.

The question we hear most often after a PMOS/PCOS diagnosis: 'What tests should I actually have?' Dr. Simone Pirita, ND is going live to answer exactly that — and whatever else you've been sitting on.⁠
⁠
This is an open Ask Me Anything focused on PMOS/PCOS bloodwork: what the standard panel typically includes, what it commonly misses, and what questions are worth bringing to any appointment.⁠
⁠
No scripts, no slides — just a real conversation about the lab picture most people never get explained properly.⁠
⁠
Send your questions in advance by DM, or bring them live. Details in the caption and on our stories. ⁠
⁠
🗓️ October 15th - 12pm IG Live⁠
⁠
Set a reminder and send your questions in advance. Comment 'PMOS' if you want us to cover your specific question live.

The first question Megan Sandri, ND asks every new patient isn't 'what's wrong'?. It's: 'When did you last feel like yourself?' Because that answer tells her how long someone has been carrying this — and usually what got⁠
missed along the way.⁠
⁠
Megan is the newest naturopathic doctor on our team at The Clara Clinic, and we're genuinely excited to introduce her. Her approach to care starts exactly where it should: with who you were before this became your normal. ⁠
⁠
She works with patients navigating cancer care, weight management, blood sugar concerns, cardiovascular health, and healthy aging.⁠

The hormone therapy conversation in perimenopause is one of the most confusing ones in women's health right now.⁠
⁠
And most of the confusion comes from the same place: incomplete information, contradictory headlines, and appointments that are too short to go deep enough.⁠
⁠
What is bioidentical hormone therapy, actually? How is it different from conventional HRT — and how much does that distinction matter? What does the evidence actually say? Who is it appropriate for, and who should have a different conversation? What questions should you be asking before you decide anything?⁠
⁠
On Friday, October 30th at 12:00 PM, Dr. Olivia Kulchyk, ND, MSCP is hosting a free masterclass to answer exactly these questions — clearly, without an agenda, and with the clinical depth this topic deserves.⁠
⁠
Hormone Therapy in Perimenopause: What's Actually on the Table (Including Bioidentical Options)⁠
⁠
This is not a pitch for hormone therapy. It's an honest look at what's available, what the evidence supports, and how to have a more informed conversation with whoever is managing your care.⁠
⁠
What you'll walk away with:⁠
⁠
→ A clear explanation of the difference between conventional and bioidentical hormone options⁠
→ What the current evidence actually says — without the fear or the hype⁠
→ The questions worth asking before starting any hormone therapy⁠
→ How a naturopathic approach to this decision fits inside a broader perimenopause care plan⁠
→ What "individualized" hormone therapy actually means in practice⁠
⁠
If you're in perimenopause, approaching it, or supporting someone who is — this is the conversation most women don't get to have until they're already deep in a decision.⁠
⁠
It's free. It's virtual. And it's the kind of clarity this topic deserves.⁠
⁠
💬 Comment 'HORMONES' and we'll send you the registration link directly. Or register now → link in bio.⁠

IBS describes what's happening in your gut. It doesn't always explain why. And for a significant number of people diagnosed with IBS, there's something more specific underneath — SIBO, gut dysbiosis, intestinal permeability, hormone-driven motility changes, or some combination of all of them.⁠
⁠
If your symptoms don't reliably respond to dietary changes, if they track your cycle, if they've been present for years without a real explanation — there may be more worth investigating than a single diagnosis suggests.⁠

If this is the first time IBS has felt like the beginning of a conversation instead of the end of one — save this for when you need it, or send it to someone who's been told the same thing.⁠

Why do you feel bloated after almost every meal — even when you’re eating foods that should be fine? 🤔

That uncomfortable fullness, pressure, or distension after eating can have more than one explanation.

Digestion, constipation, food sensitivities, changes in gut bacteria, and conditions like SIBO can all play a role. And sometimes, the pattern matters just as much as the food itself — when the bloating starts, how long it lasts, and what other digestive symptoms come with it.

If you’re constantly changing what you eat just to avoid feeling uncomfortable after meals, it may be worth looking beyond your diet alone.

Dr. Mitchell Schroeder, ND works with patients navigating complex digestive concerns and the different factors that can contribute to them.

Comment “BLOATING” if this is something you experience regularly.

09/26/2026

You're not high maintenance for wanting to understand what's happening in your body. You're not anxious. You're not a difficult patient. You're not asking for too much.⁠
⁠
You are asking for what should be standard — a practitioner who listens, a conversation that doesn't end at 'your labs are normal' and a plan that actually addresses what you're experiencing.⁠
⁠
Somewhere along the way, many women have been trained to take up less space in their own healthcare appointments. To minimize. To apologize for the list of symptoms. To leave without asking the follow-up question that was sitting right there.⁠
⁠
You are allowed to want answers. You are allowed to come back when the answer didn't help.⁠
⁠
You are allowed to want care that keeps up with the complexity of what you're experiencing.⁠
⁠
Wanting thoroughness is not a personality flaw. It is the appropriate response to years of not being heard. You deserve a practitioner who sees that — and meets it with the care it requires.⁠
⁠
Have you ever felt like you were 'too much' in a medical appointment? Tell us — this is something we think about constantly.⁠

✨ PCOS (PMOS) & Infertility — The Most Important Things to Know ✨⁠
⁠
PCOS (now called PMOS) is one of the most common causes of infertility—but that doesn’t mean it’s a dead end.⁠
⁠
Here’s what we want you to know:⁠
🔹 PMOS is a hormone imbalance, not just a period problem⁠
Irregular cycles often mean irregular (or absent) ovulation, which makes timing conception tricky—but not impossible. Working on predictable ovulation is the first step! ⁠
⁠
🔹 You can ovulate with PMOS⁠
With the right support—through lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, or meds—many people with PMOS do ovulate and conceive.⁠
⁠
🔹 Fertility is about more than just ovulation in PMOS⁠
We support the under-appreciated factors of infertility with PMOS including egg quality, healthy progesterone and insulin levels, implantation success, and more!⁠
⁠
The bottom line?⁠
💛 PMOS doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant.⁠
It means your body needs a little more personalized support—and that’s exactly what we do here.⁠

Here’s what integrative perimenopause care at The Clara Clinic actually looks like. This is what comprehensive care can feel like. Not one appointment, one prescription, one decision about hormone therapy and nothing else.⁠
⁠
Functional testing. Bioidentical hormones when appropriate. Naturopathic care addressing root drivers. Nutrition. Psychotherapy — all coordinated together. Because perimenopause touches every part of you — not just your hormone levels. Your care should reflect that.⁠
⁠
What part of this feels most missing from the care you’ve received so far?⁠
We’re walking through this in detail in our free masterclass — link in bio to watch.⁠

09/14/2026

PCOS hair loss and unwanted facial hair can feel like two separate problems — but with PMOS/PCOS, it's the same hormonal disruption showing up in two different places.⁠
⁠
Elevated androgens, often pushed higher by insulin resistance, can thin hair at the crown while triggering new growth on the face and jaw at the same time.⁠
⁠
This is one of the most distressing PMOS/PCOS symptoms — and one of the most dismissed. It's not 'just genetics, 'and it's not 'only a cosmetic issue' It's a recognized hormonal pattern we see in PMOS/PCOS, and it's worth assessing properly.⁠
⁠
Has anyone ever connected these two things for you before?⁠
