Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

During your first visit, you will meet with Dr. Jane Burk-Vassallo from aspireMD and Dr. Stephen Tripodi, a collaborative partner from Optimal Wellness Niagara, for a complimentary consultation at the aspireMD location. Benefiting from the synergy of both medical and naturopathic approaches creates our comprehensive program – an integrative healthcare practice. You will receive ample time with both doctors to understand your needs and customize a proactive, long-term plan to address your health concerns and achieve your goals.

The mandate of the Hormone Optimization Program is to:

• Alleviate symptoms
• Optimize wellness
• Prevent disease

We believe knowledge will empower you!

Take our Personal Symptom Assessment

We have targeted solutions to address each and every one of your concerns. The aspireMD team evaluates your symptoms to arrive at an individualized treatment plan.

Each individual’s body and symptoms are different and has its own unique needs.   However, commercially manufactured products tend to be one-size-fits all, erring on the overkill high dose side of fixing things. Such products often do not account for the differences between individuals.  

Dr. Jane Burk-Vassallo has carefully selected a superior custom compounding pharmacy, Trutina Tru Balance, who prepares your specific formulation in a closed-to-the-public, sterile facility and ships directly to you anywhere in Canada, free of charge.  

The advantage of compounded HRT is that it can be adapted specifically to fit each individual’s body and hormone levels. BHRT utilizes hormones that have the exact chemical structure as the hormones in the human body. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own. Your hormone replacement regimen will return your hormones to balance and closely simulate what your body has been doing naturally in your most vital 20’s and 30’s.

The aspireMD health professionals will take exemplary care of you from start to finish on your journey to own your future. Your better begins here!

Getting started on your path to health and well-being is a three-step process:

FIRST VISIT: You may book a complimentary 15 minute consult to understand why the aspireMD Hormone Optimization Program is right for you!

SECOND VISIT: BHRT and TRT are unfortunately not OHIP covered services. We provide a la carte pricing; however, the most comprehensive care for the best value is provided through our annual health program. Note that a significant portion of the program may be covered through naturopathic and medication components of your private health insurance.

Upon program initiation, you will be given an intake package to communicate your symptoms, concerns and desired health objectives. You will also receive an advanced testing lab requisition to obtain a blood baseline of your biochemical health markers as well as comprehensive hormone analysis including adrenal and thyroid levels. You will be asked to gather the reports of your routine screenings such as: pap test, mammogram (women), PSA (men), bone density and colonoscopy results.

THIRD VISIT: Drs. Burk-Vassallo and Tripodi will confer to evaluate your intake survey and your laboratory results. After elucidating the aspects to be addressed in achieving your personal goals, Dr. Jane and Dr. Stephen will guide you through their recommendations. You will be enlightened and empowered with your 60 minute assessment and treatment plan discussion, including the benefits or potential risks of each.
