SKIN Kamloops – Dr. Hayley Collinge, ND: Expert in Natural Hormone Balancing in Kamloops, British Columbia

Dr. Hayley Collinge, ND, at SKIN Kamloops, specializes in natural hormone balancing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for men and women in Kamloops, BC. With extensive post-medical school training and experience, Dr. Hayley provides comprehensive care to address hormone imbalances, thyroid issues, adrenal health, and more.

Natural Hormone Balancing and BHRT

If you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, reduced libido, difficulty losing weight, or muscle loss, Dr. Hayley can help identify and address the underlying issues. Balanced hormones can significantly improve your overall health and vitality.

Comprehensive Testing and Personalized Treatment

Dr. Hayley utilizes advanced testing methods to evaluate your hormonal health. The process begins with a thorough assessment using the DUTCH test, a comprehensive urine test that analyzes basic hormones, estrogen, cortisol, androgen metabolites, melatonin, and cortisol patterns. Additional baseline tests for thyroid function and blood sugar/insulin levels are also performed.

Once test results are available (typically within two weeks), Dr. Hayley will review them with you either in-person or via a telemedicine consultation. She will then develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), natural thyroid hormones, and other tailored interventions. Medications and supplements will be customized and provided through local compounding pharmacies and Fullscript.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones and Natural Thyroid Treatments

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps restore youthful hormone levels, addressing symptoms like muscle loss, weight gain, hot flashes, and decreased sex drive. BHRT is preferred over synthetic hormones due to its biological similarity to the body’s natural hormones, resulting in fewer side effects.

Natural thyroid hormones, such as those from ERFA, offer a more complete thyroid support compared to synthetic alternatives like Levothyroxine. These natural medications include additional thyroid cofactors and are often better tolerated.

Adrenal Health and Blood Sugar Management

For severe adrenal issues, Dr. Hayley may recommend low-dose hydrocortisone (Cortef) to help reset adrenal function. Supplements and lifestyle changes may also be prescribed to optimize adrenal health.

Blood sugar and insulin resistance issues are managed through a combination of herbs, vitamins, minerals, and dietary modifications. Proper blood sugar management supports weight loss, reduces cravings, and enhances mental focus and energy.

Tailored Care and Ongoing Support

Dr. Hayley will create a personalized treatment plan based on your lab results and symptoms. Regular follow-up appointments ensure optimal medication dosages, monitor progress, and address any side effects. Her goal is to help you achieve balanced health and well-being through evidence-based, natural therapies.
