Hormones, HRT & Iron: Understanding Women’s Health Through Midlife

About this event

Naturopathic doctor Dr. Draeden Watt will discuss how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect energy, mood, sleep, cognition, body composition, sexual health and overall quality of life. The presentation covers hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including who may benefit, common misconceptions, safety considerations, and how treatment can be individualized using symptoms, medical history and laboratory findings. Watt will also briefly discuss iron deficiency, a common contributor to fatigue and low energy in women, and when oral iron or iron infusion therapy may be considered.

Watt practises at Wellington Natural Health in Chilliwack. His clinical interests include hormone optimization, iron deficiency and iron infusions, IV nutrient therapy, pain management and preventative health. He uses laboratory testing and individualized treatment plans to help patients understand their health and treatment options, with particular interest in identifying underlying contributors to fatigue, low energy and health changes throughout adulthood.
