Bio-Identical Hormone replacement (BHRT)
This is for women of any age who have noticed changes in their body, memory, energy, and sexual health. The goal of BHRT is to provide “optimal hormone levels”, not just normal hormone levels.
If you are having symptoms of pre-menopause or are in menopause, it is not too late to manage these symptoms and prevent chronic diseases. The loss of estradiol and progesterone not only makes women feel unwell, it also increases your risk of stroke, dementia, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart attack and cancers. In this clinic, we assess your current health status and provide medical advice specific to your needs and risk factors.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men
This is for men over thirty experiencing low energy, low libido, loss of muscle mass, and reduced endurance. These symptoms may indicate low testosterone, a common issue often difficult to discuss. Testosterone therapy can help manage these symptoms, improve mood and energy, and prevent health conditions like high cholesterol and heart disease. Our clinic focuses on achieving your optimal health through individualized care, ensuring that you feel your best while reducing the risk of chronic health issues.

Custom Thyroid Replacement
Hypothyroidism is a relatively common condition in men and women. Most commonly prescribed thyroid medications only replace T4 and sometimes T3, but for optimal thyroid health, most of us need T1, T2, T3, and T4. If your body has access to all of the thyroid hormones, your body will respond better. We can accommodate kosher and vegan patients.
INFORMATION ON CONSULTATION SERVICES
During every consultation, Dr. Leaf will review your health history and conduct a comprehensive hormone lab panel. This information will be used to recommend the best BHRT treatment to provide “optimal hormone levels”. Follow-up appointments will be made every three months for the first year to make sure everything is on the right track.
The benefit of using BHRT medications is that they have the exact molecular structure that your body naturally produces. In other words, your body cannot tell the difference between the hormones you are prescribed, and the hormones your body is naturally producing. Dr. Leaf will determine how you should take BHRT (capsules, skin cream, drops, injections, other).
BOOKING AN APPOINTMENT
In order to confirm your appointment, you will need to complete these steps:
1. Provide your credit card information to be held on file
2. Complete the Intake Forms
Once these two steps have been completed, our office will review your file and give final approval for your appointment date and time.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
These consultations are not covered under OHIP. If you have a private insurance plan, they might offer some coverage for the cost of the consultations and/or BHRT prescriptions. It is up to you to contact your insurance provider to determine your coverage.
LABS
Lab tests will be required before each consult or prescription refill as a way to access the treatment proscribed. Most of the Lab tests that are ordered will be covered under OHIP.
