Bio-identical hormone restoration therapy rebalances your body using natural hormone molecules. This treatment addresses menopause symptoms, low libido, fatigue, and metabolic imbalances through customized dosing.

Dr. McKay is simply the most amazing, compassionate and brilliant doctor I've ever met. If you are tired of doctors spending 15 minutes with you and looking right through you, Dr. McKay is a breath of fresh air (speaking of, she's very good with allergies, too!) She has a real knack for research and getting to the heart of a problem quickly. For example, my husband was very worried about a heart/endocrine system issue -- the details of which are quite rare -- and Dr. McKay came up with a diagnosis and a solution that greatly put our minds at rest. If you really want someone to truly care about

Dr McKay changed my life. Seriously. Through good science and exploring alternative methods her work and insight helped me to lose weight, lose the foggy brain of middle age, and decrease my stress at work. She based her work on the science of what my blood work was intimating to her. Then we took steps every couple of weeks to change my lifestyle and habits. The result is that my blood and hormone levels are as healthy as they can be.

I would and will recommend Dr. Deborah McKay to any one who was having trouble going through estrogen dominance issues. I have been seeing Dr. McKay for the last 5 months and I must say that the quality of my life has improved significantly due to her knowledge in the field of women's health issues. When I first came to Dr. McKay I was in severe pain... had no energy and was quite frankly a very cranky human being. I did what she recommended....supplements ..diet change...portion control. I have followed her directions faithfully and to a T. The result is that I am pain free....have more energy

Dr McKay is top-drawer. So bright, so helpful, so responsive to the needs of clients. She is a prolific reader and serious about staying at the top of her field. She participates in a study group with other naturopaths, which means you vicariously have the knowledge and experience of other naturopaths, who are all helping each other be the best they can be. Dr McKay is a wealth of knowledge. She also knows how to boil it down to practical, pragmatic steps that support maximal wellness. I recommend her highly.
