This first visit is for new patients, held virtually so you can have this conversation from wherever you are.

You sit down one-on-one with a Naturopathic Doctor who reviews your symptoms and health history in detail. Your hormones do not exist on their own. They are shaped by your stress, your sleep, your gut and metabolic health, your cycle patterns, and how much you are carrying day to day. Your ND looks at all of it, then builds a plan around your whole picture. Not to prescribe hormone therapy, but to build the conditions that let your hormones regulate the way they are designed to.

Your plan may include functional testing, targeted supplements, and lifestyle changes, all coordinated within Bright & Well. If it becomes clear over time that a medical evaluation is the right next step, we move you there without starting over.

No referral needed. You leave with a clear sense of what is going on and what comes next.

Initial Virtual Naturopathic Consult

This virtual appointment is for returning patients. It is the check-in that keeps your plan moving as your symptoms and your test results change.

New here? Start with the Initial Virtual Wellness Consult instead. This booking is for patients who have already had their first consultation with a Naturopathic Doctor.

What your follow-up may include:
- Ongoing consultation with your Naturopathic Doctor
- A review of your treatment plan and any changes it needs
- A look at your functional testing results and what they mean for your next steps

No referral needed. Once you are booked, we will confirm your appointment time and send the video link.

Repeat Virtual Naturopathic Consult - Existing Patients

This booking is for patients who were not able to have their blood collected on the same day as their 1:1 initial consultation. It covers the standard blood panels listed on the requisition your Bright & Well practitioner gave you.

Blood Draw Collection - Existing Patients

The SpectraCell Micronutrient Test looks at 31 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids inside your cells, not just what is floating in your blood. That matters, because your body can look fine on a standard panel and still be short on what it needs at the cellular level.

Nutrient status is one of the things that shapes your hormones. Your body draws on specific vitamins and minerals to make and regulate them, so a gap there can show up as low energy, a run-down immune system, or feeling off without a clear reason. This test shows where those gaps are and how well your body is actually absorbing what you take in, so your plan is built on what is really going on, not a guess.

Micronutrient Testing

The DUTCH Test, short for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones, gives a detailed look at your sex hormones, your cortisol patterns, and how your body breaks hormones down. It measures estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and adrenal function, and it does it through dried urine collected over a day, so it catches the rhythm your hormones move in, not just a single moment.

This is the kind of testing that explains what a standard panel misses. It can show where your hormones are out of balance, how your stress response is holding up, and why your energy, mood, or sleep may not match how you are living. Your provider uses that full picture to build a plan around what is actually happening.

Hormone + Cortisol Testing

The Gut Mapping test with CSA and Parasitology, run through Doctor's Data, gives a detailed look at what is happening in your gut. It measures the balance of your gut microbiome, how well you are digesting, signs of inflammation, and whether any pathogens, including parasites, are present.

Your gut does more than digest. It plays a real role in how your body handles hormones, so when it is off, the effects can show up well beyond your stomach, in your energy, your mood, and your skin. This test maps out where the imbalance, dysbiosis, or infection sits, so your provider can build a plan around the actual cause instead of chasing symptoms.
