LAURA HOFFMANN
- Naturopathic Doctor (ND)
- Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP)
As a naturopath, Dr. Laura Hoffmann uses an evidence-based approach in her practice by looking at lab work to understand and create unique and personalized treatment plans. She utilizes treatments such as nutritional counselling, supplements, lifestyle counselling, hormone replacement therapy, vitamin B12 injections, acupuncture and more to help her patients live their best and healthiest lives.
Dr. Hoffmann takes a comprehensive approach in hormone management and treating perimenopause, PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. She has a special interest in menopause hormone therapy and has completed advanced training in safety and prescribing. She is licensed to prescribe bio-identical hormone therapy, including estrogen, progesterone, and desiccated thyroid.
Healthy aging and awareness of health risks is important to Dr. Hoffmann. Metabolic health assessments with Dr. Hoffmann may include screening for insulin resistance, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic inflammation, liver disease, thyroid disease, and more. She will create personalized plans that focus on both prevention and treatment, and any treatments given are safe to take with any medications you may be on.
Dr. Hoffmann is licensed to offer vitamin injections done intramuscularly. She offers vitamin B12 and vitamin D injections for clients that have deficiencies, and may require this type of support. It is a great option to correct deficiencies with those who have poor absorption, or who are on medications that deplete vitamin B12 (such as metformin, and acid reflux medications).
Born and raised in Stratford, she now lives in Kitchener with her husband and 2 young boys. It is truly an honour for her to support patients on their path to wellness and serve New Hamburg and the Region of Waterloo community.
