Trans Primary Care for Naturopathic Doctors
Learn how to support your transgender patients, no matter your scope of practice.
Do you wish you could support patients undergoing social, medical, and/or surgical transition?
Did you know you don’t have to have prescribing rights or be certified in WPATH to work with trans and nonbinary clients exploring hormonal therapies?
Do you find yourself wondering why you didn’t learn how to prescribe estrogen or progesterone to transfeminine patients in any of your hormone prescribing webinars?

Isn't it about time you were able to provide much-needed support to trans patients?
Are you stuck here?
-
You love working with LGBTQ2SIA+ patients, but have trouble building a strong trans patient roster.
-
When trans patients bring up their transition, you feel helpless, and end up referring out.
-
You feel great about hormones for menopause, but get nervous at the idea of working with hormones for transition.
Well, you're in the right place if...
-
You’re a naturopathic doctor, nutritionist, herbalist, or other wellness practitioner who works with lifestyle and herbs or supplements.
-
You have hormonal prescribing rights OR you want to be confident offering adjunctive and preventative care for patients who are taking hormones.
-
You’re ready to start welcoming more trans patients into your practice.
Inequities and barriers to access disproportionately impact trans and nonbinary clients seeking inclusive gender affirming care.
Naturopathic doctors are perfectly positioned to:
-
Help trans and nonbinary patients navigate their transitions with ease.
-
Monitor and mitigate long-term risks of hormone treatment.
-
Support your patients with individualized treatment plans rather than the one-size fits all approach typically offered.
That's what
Trans Primary Care for NDs
prepares you to do.
Learn to initiate basic hormone therapy for trans clients, monitor hormonal transitions, and safely use naturopathic therapies alongside hormonal therapy to maximize positive effects and minimize adverse effects of taking hormones long-term, while supporting your patients’ individual goals and needs.
