Testosterone is having a moment in women’s health.

We’re seeing claims that it may help with everything from libido and energy to mood, muscle, brain fog and feeling more like yourself again.

But what does the evidence actually support?

In her latest blog, Dr. Stephanie Peltz, ND, MSCP takes a closer look at testosterone therapy for women — including where the evidence is strongest, where we still need better research, what prescribing looks like in Canada, and why sexual health deserves to be taken seriously.

The goal isn’t to dismiss testosterone or the women asking about it. It’s to make sure the conversation is grounded in good evidence and individualized care.

A little professional update from our team: Dr. Steph Peltz, ND is now an MSCP, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.

This certification is offered through The Menopause Society and recognizes healthcare professionals who have demonstrated expertise in menopause and midlife women’s health by successfully completing their competency examination.

For her patients, this means an additional layer of focused training behind the care she provides for perimenopause and menopause.

And no, Dr. P is not abandoning the other areas of women’s health she loves! She will absolutely continue supporting her fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and other women’s health patients. This certification simply adds another layer to the high-quality care she is able to offer.

We’re also excited to be able to offer even more women at Restore access to focused, evidence-informed perimenopause and menopause care as our MSCP-certified team continues to grow.

We are proud of Dr. Peltz, ND for adding this credential to the work she already loves doing, and to continue as a team helping women navigate their health with thoughtful, evidence-informed and individualized care.

Sleep is often one of the first things to change during perimenopause—and the effects can reach far beyond feeling tired.

Hormonal fluctuations, night sweats, anxiety, stress, pain and changes in mood can all make it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep or wake feeling restored.

Poor sleep can then affect:

• Mood and mental health
• Energy and motivation
• Focus and memory
• Appetite and satiety
• Exercise recovery
• Pain sensitivity
• Resilience to everyday stress

This is why we often think of sleep as a kingpin symptom in perimenopause and menopause.

When sleep improves, many other concerns may start to feel more manageable too.

But the answer is not always simply “better sleep hygiene.”

During a Simply Menopause consult, we look at why your sleep has changed—whether that involves hot flashes, anxiety, hormonal changes, possible sleep apnea, restless legs, pain or other causes of nighttime waking.

From there, we create an individualized plan to address the factors that may be getting in the way of restorative sleep.

Because sometimes, supporting sleep is the first step toward feeling more like yourself again.

Fatigue. Brain fog. Anxiety. Poor sleep. Changing periods. Weight changes.

These can all occur during perimenopause—but that does not always mean hormones are the only explanation.

Some symptoms may also be influenced by:

• Thyroid concerns
• Iron, B12 or other nutrient deficiencies
• Sleep apnea or restless legs
• Blood-sugar changes
• Medication effects
• Depression, anxiety or chronic stress
• Other underlying health conditions

Even changes in menstrual bleeding that are common during perimenopause may sometimes need further investigation. Conditions such as thyroid disorders, elevated prolactin, fibroids, polyps or adenomyosis can also contribute to cycle changes.

This does not mean your symptoms are “not hormonal.”

It means you deserve an assessment that looks at the whole picture—rather than assuming every midlife concern is simply something you need to live with.

During a Simply Menopause consult, we explore your symptoms, menstrual history, health risks, medications and other possible contributors. From there, we can decide whether further investigation is needed and create an individualized treatment plan.

Because good menopause care is not about blaming everything on hormones—or dismissing hormones entirely.

It is about asking the right questions.

Can you start hormone therapy at any age?

This is a great question—and one that doesn’t have a simple yes-or-no answer.

Menopausal hormone therapy generally has the most favourable benefit-risk profile when started before age 60 or within 10 years of the final menstrual period.

But that does not mean there is one strict age cutoff for everyone.

For someone who has been menopausal for many years, starting hormone therapy may still be considered, particularly when persistent symptoms are significantly affecting quality of life. However, initiating it later may carry different risks and requires a careful, individualized assessment and appropriate follow-up.

During a Simply Menopause consult, we consider factors such as:

• Current symptoms and treatment goals
• Age and time since menopause
• Cardiovascular and blood-clot risk
• Breast and endometrial health
• Bone health
• Personal and family medical history
• The type, dose and route of hormone therapy being considered

Together, we review the potential benefits, risks and alternatives—and make an informed decision about whether hormone therapy is an appropriate option for you.

There may not be a universal cutoff—but there should always be a thoughtful risk-benefit conversation.

Wondering whether hormone therapy may still be an option for you? A Simply Menopause consult can help you better understand your individual benefits and risks.

Alzheimer’s disease is a significant concern for many women as they age.

I find that patients who have watched a parent or another family member live with Alzheimer’s are often highly motivated to understand what they can do now to reduce their own risk or potentially delay the disease.

Did you know that over 50% of Alzheimer’s cases have been attributed to 7 potentially modifiable risk factors?

These include:

• Diabetes mellitus
• High blood pressure in midlife
• Obesity in midlife
• Smoking
• Depression
• Cognitive inactivity or low educational attainment
• Physical inactivity

And importantly, the optimal time to intervene may be during midlife, rather than waiting until older age.

This list might feel like a lot, but you do not need to tackle everything at once. In fact, I would much rather help you identify which areas are most relevant to you and build a realistic plan that fits your actual capacity.

This is work I can help with. We can look at your personal risk factors and create a strategy to start addressing the areas that are changeable.

If this is something you have been thinking about, reach out and let’s chat.

🏃‍♀️ Running isn’t just about logging more kilometres—it’s about running smarter.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, chasing a marathon PB, or dealing with those recurring aches and pains, a running analysis can help identify what’s holding you back.

During your assessment, we’ll look at:
✔️ Running mechanics
✔️ Mobility & strength
✔️ Training load
✔️ Injury risk factors
✔️ Personalized exercises to improve efficiency and performance

The goal isn’t to make you run a certain way—it’s to help you run in the way that’s most efficient and sustainable for your body.

Ready to feel stronger, run more efficiently, and spend less time sidelined by injuries?

Do women need to work out differently based on their hormone cycles? Or should I be “Cycle Syncing” my workouts?

Quick answer is no! While it’s true that hormones can affect how workouts feel, such as energy, mood, sleep, recovery, perceived exertion, it doesn’t mean the workout is ineffective or that the program needs to change based on the first or second half of your cycle.

Consistency matters more than perfect hormone-based timing.
An overly complex training plan based on your menstrual cycles can actually create more rigidity, thus making consistent adherence harder. Consistent training, rather than hormone patterns, is the key to muscle strength and long term gains. We usually recommend 2 x a week as part of your overall exercise plan.

Let’s not overcomplicate our lives! Women can progressively build strength and benefit from consistent resistance training throughout their lifespan. Hormones may influence how training feels, but they usually do not require a totally different program.

Save this for the next time cycle syncing advice makes your workout plan feel more complicated than it needs to be.
