During the current healthcare crisis, the office of Dr. Jeff Hunt will remain open providing complete Naturopathic Services.

Please note: to protect the health of our worker we are asking you to access the office via our disability ramp on the side of the building.

The Ministry of Health has designated some health services, including Naturopathic Physicians, as an essential service (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/emergency-preparedness-response-recovery/covid-19-provincial-support/essential-services-covid-19#healthservices). According to the Ministry of Health webpage on COVID-19 essential services, “essential services should and are encouraged to remain open. They must, however, follow the orders and guidance provided by the PHO to ensure safe operations and reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.”

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT)

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) refers to the therapeutic use of hormones that are identical in every way to the hormones produced naturally in the body. Diagnostic testing may include salivary and or blood tests.

The results may reveal hormone imbalances that are then addressed with the use of BHRT. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources not animal derivatives. Bioidentical hormones usually prescribed are estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and DHEA. Most hormones are delivered to the body in a cream form, which can be rubbed into the skin. This transdermal application of hormone creams delivers the hormones to the tissues similar to ovarian, testicular and adrenal release to the body.

BHRT are compounded by pharmacies and require a prescription from a Naturopathic Physician.
