Menopause is a natural phase of life, marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years. While it is a normal biological process, the accompanying symptoms can significantly affect quality of life. Bailey Health in Kelowna offers personalized care to help patients navigate
menopause and perimenopause with individualized support.
Menopause typically occurs in women in their late 40s or early 50s and is marked by the absence of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months.
This natural transition is often accompanied by hormone changes, including changes in estrogen and, for some patients, testosterone, which may contribute to physical and emotional symptoms.
Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes and night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes such as irritability and depression, reduced libido, weight gain and slowed metabolism, and fatigue along with muscle weakness.
Our team understands the profound impact menopause can have on daily life. We offer a holistic, patient-centered approach intended to support symptom management and overall well-being. Care may include lifestyle guidance and, where clinically appropriate, prescription hormone therapy such as BHRT prescribed by an authorized practitioner.
Information submitted through this form may include personal health information and will be used to respond to your inquiry and support care planning. Do not use this form for urgent medical concerns.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may be considered for eligible patients and uses hormones that are structurally similar to hormones produced by the body. For some patients, BHRT may help manage menopause-related symptoms. Suitability, risks, and expected benefits should be discussed with a licensed practitioner.
While often associated with men, testosterone plays a vital role in women’s health. Decreased levels of this hormone during menopause can lead to fatigue, reduced libido, and muscle weakness. Where clinically appropriate, testosterone therapy may be discussed as part of an individualized care plan for eligible patients.
We may include holistic lifestyle support alongside hormone therapy where clinically appropriate. We offer personalized guidance in nutrition, exercise, and stress management. Nutrition guidance may include attention to calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and other factors that can support bone health and overall well-being. Regular exercise may support bone health, mood, weight management, and overall health during menopause. Stress-management strategies such as yoga or meditation may support relaxation and mental well-being.
Bailey Health in Kelowna provides an individualized approach to menopause and perimenopause care.

Your Journey to Holistic Health Begins Within.
During your first visit, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and health goals. Where clinically appropriate, diagnostic tests may be recommended to assess hormone-related factors.
Hormone testing may include blood tests to measure clinically relevant hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid hormones, where appropriate. This may help identify hormone-related factors that can inform your care plan.
If hormone therapy or other treatment options are clinically appropriate, a licensed practitioner will work with you to develop an individualized care plan.
Regular follow-ups help assess your response to care. Adjustments may be made as needed to support your goals and address new concerns.
