HEALTH SOLUTIONS
NUTRACEUTICAL SUPPLEMENTS
Dr. Bhatoa uses a research-based approach to recommend high-quality, clinical-grade supplements. She reviews each one for effectiveness, explains its purpose, and checks for interactions with medications.
NUTRITION FOCUS
A healthy, balanced diet is key to feeling your best each day. We make personalized nutrition guidance tailored to your unique needs—including macronutrient balance, food preferences, and gentle support for emotional eating and cravings.
LIFESTYLE
Naturopathic medicine goes beyond symptom relief—it helps you build lifestyle habits that support lasting wellness. We help you create routines that feel realistic and nourishing, like winding down for better sleep, setting up a morning ritual to reduce stress, planning balanced meals that fit your schedule, or finding joyful ways to move your body. These small, meaningful shifts are the foundation for long-term health and energy.
ACUPUNCTURE
Many conditions can be effectively and painlessly treated with acupuncture. Tiny, extremely thin needles are inserted at particular acupuncture points to stimulate blood flow to the injured area, reduce inflammation, and increase endorphins—the body's "natural painkillers" and our "feel good" hormones. The goal is to bring harmony to the body and resolve symptoms for overall well-being.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me solo traveling, spending time in nature, or searching for the next cozy small-town coffee spot. I’m drawn to the things that help me slow down and feel grounded: quiet moments, my faith, golden hour skies, movement, and meaningful conversations.
we’re here to answer all your questions
What is PMOS?
- PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) has been officially renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) in May 2026. PMOS stands for Polyendocrine (multiple hormone systems), Metabolic (blood sugar regulation, insulin, and metabolism), Ovarian (ovarian function), and Syndrome (a group of related symptoms that occur together).
- The new name better reflects what we have known for years: this is a whole-body condition, not simply an ovarian disorder. PMOS can affect hormone balance, metabolism, weight, fertility, energy, mood, and long-term health.
- At our clinic, we have always approached PCOS/PMOS through a root-cause lens, looking at hormonal, metabolic, reproductive, and lifestyle factors together. The updated name acknowledges the important role that insulin resistance, inflammation, stress, and hormonal imbalances play in driving symptoms and reinforces the need for a personalized, whole-person approach to care.
Do I need a diagnosis before booking?
- No. Many patients book without a formal PCOS/PMOS diagnosis. The initial consultation is designed to map the full picture, whether you’ve been diagnosed or suspect the pattern
What Does Treatment Look Like?
- Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment. We will review menstrual cycle and ovulation patterns, energy, sleep, digestion, and stress, weight history and metabolic health, current medications, supplements, and previous blood work and imaging.
- Step 2: Identify Your PMOS Pattern. No two people with PMOS are exactly alike. Some women primarily struggle with insulin resistance, high androgen, inflammatory, or lean PMOS. Identifying your unique pattern will help us to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and allow for a personalized treatment plan.
- Step 3: Create a Personalized Plan that supports the foundations. Meal plan to balance blood sugar + optimize protein/carb/fat and fibre intake, help you fall asleep fast and get deep asleep, stress management, and physical activity.
- Step 4: Personalized Supplement Support. Targeted supplements may be recommended based on your PMOS pattern to support hormone balance, cravings, acne, hair loss, unwanted hair growth, metabolic fatty liver, fatigue, inflammation, indigestion, low mood, mood swings, and/or feelings of overwhelm, ovulation & cycle, fertility, and overall well-being. Regular follow-up visits every 4-8 weeks to track your progress, review labs when needed, and refine your treatment plan for lasting results.
- Step 5: Monitor Progress & Adjust the Plan. Regular follow-up visits every 4-8 weeks to track your progress, review labs when needed, and refine your treatment plan for lasting results.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Consistency is key, and meaningful improvements often build gradually over time. Every person responds differently, but general timelines include:
- Cycle regularity: typically 3 to 6 months for consistent ovulation when foundations are in place.
- Acne and androgen symptoms: often 4 to 6 months
- Hair growth changes: 6 to 12 months, since hair follicle cycles are slow
- Fertility optimization: varies depending on individual circumstances
- Blood work is reassessed at 6-12 months.
What labs are used to diagnose PCOS/PMOS?
- Comprehensive review of your health and lifestyle history
- Hormone testing (including testosterone, LH, FSH, estrogen, and progesterone)
- Blood sugar and insulin assessments
- Thyroid function evaluation
- Liver and fasted Lipid panel
- Iron, vitamins, and nutrient status
- Pelvic ultrasound (if needed, our nurse practitioners or your medical doctor can arrange a referral)
- We make sure to explain your results in a clear and easy-to-understand manner — no complicated medical language or vague “everything looks normal” responses.
Is Naturopathic Treatment Safe to Combine with Medications or Fertility Treatments?
- Yes, naturopathic care is generally safe to use alongside conventional medical treatment. Naturopathic Doctors are trained to recognize potential interactions between supplements, natural therapies, and medications, and work collaboratively with your healthcare team to ensure your treatment plan is safe and effective. Any decisions regarding prescription medications are made by your prescribing physician. Dr. Bhatoa, ND, does not prescribe or adjust medications. If prescription treatment is indicated, we coordinate with your family physician or nurse practitioner and keep them informed of any supplements or therapies being recommended to help avoid potential interactions or conflicts.
How is Naturopathic Medicine for PCOS/PMOS Different from Conventional Care
- Naturopathic medicine takes a root-cause, whole-person approach to PCOS/PMOS. Instead of just managing symptoms like irregular cycles or insulin resistance with medications such as birth control or metformin, a naturopathic doctor (ND) works to rebalance the body using nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, herbal medicine, and supplements. Functional lab testing is often used to guide personalized care, helping address underlying drivers such as inflammation, stress, gut health, and hormonal imbalance
