What's Included

Hormone Therapies We Offer in Vermont

Testing, prescribing, and ongoing monitoring for menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone, and gender-affirming hormone care — one team, one plan, from your first labs onward.

Menopause & Perimenopause Hormone Therapy

Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, and irregular cycles — treated around your stage of transition, not a generic protocol. Perimenopause counts; you don’t have to wait until periods stop.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Men

Low testosterone — sometimes called low T or andropause — affects energy, mood, muscle mass, and libido. We evaluate the full picture, including thyroid and metabolic factors, before recommending treatment.

Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy

Individualized, respectful HRT for transgender and gender-diverse patients, at whatever pace and stage fits your goals, with ongoing lab monitoring throughout.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)

Hormones structurally identical to the ones your body makes, alongside conventional options — dosed and delivered in the form that fits your labs and your life.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

Bloodwork and a full symptom evaluation come first, so treatment is built on your actual hormone levels rather than a guess from a questionnaire. Testing covers thyroid and adrenal conditions that mimic or compound a hormone imbalance.

Ongoing Monitoring & Dose Adjustments

Follow-up labs and check-ins so your plan keeps working as your levels, symptoms, and goals change over the years.

Our Approach

Our Approach to Hormone Therapy

Naturopathic doctor reviewing hormone lab results with a patient at Bendavid Clinic, Burlington VT

Bendavid Clinic is a naturopathic medical practice in Burlington, Vermont — not an online hormone subscription. Your evaluation starts with labs, symptoms, health history, and goals before anything is prescribed, and your dose is adjusted as your body responds. Whether you’re navigating menopause, low testosterone, or gender-affirming care, we look at sleep, mood, thyroid, and metabolic health alongside your hormone levels, because they rarely move independently. Many hormone patients also see us for primary care, so labs, prescriptions, and follow-up stay with one team.

Licensed Naturopathic Doctors

Your hormone plan is written and monitored by licensed naturopathic doctors who see you in person — not generated from an intake form by a provider you never meet.

Labs First, Then Treatment

Bloodwork and a full symptom evaluation establish your baseline before anything is prescribed, and follow-up labs confirm the dose is doing what it should.

Vermont Rooted

Deeply connected to our local community, serving adults across the Burlington region.

What Our Patients Say

“

Dr. Jackie’s greatest strengths as a primary care provider lie in her natural abilities to listen, to empathize without judgement or condescension, and to enthusiastically and collaboratively design an action plan with her patients. While none of these qualities should make Dr. Jackie so unique as a care provider, it’s the unfortunate reality that many of us, especially female-identifying folks, live in. In just two visits, she was able to diagnose and create an accessible, approachable treatment plan for a number of deficiencies that other providers failed to notice. The experience has been not only validating, but healing both literally and figuratively. Burlington is BEYOND lucky to call her one of our own.

“

At the first appointment I instantly felt the warmth her office and whole self brings, it’s the most comfortable space and she offers the most inviting presence to be able to open up to and receive the kind of advice that is not only extremely helpful, but shows that she truly cares about her patients. I am so grateful I have found Dr. Jackie. Thank you so much for your inviting presence and everything you have taught me thus far!

— G.T.

“

I’ve had chronic health issues for years and Dr. Jackie is everything. Never felt so heard and seen and cared for by a primary care physician as much as I do with her! Thank you for truly caring about what you do and making the world a better place.

What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores hormones the body no longer produces at optimal levels — most often estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. It’s used to relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disruption, low energy, mood changes, and low libido. At Bendavid Clinic in Burlington, Vermont, HRT begins with bloodwork and a full symptom evaluation, so dosing is based on your actual hormone levels rather than a standard protocol.

What’s the difference between bioidentical and conventional hormone therapy?

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. Conventional hormone therapy may use synthesized or animal-derived forms that differ slightly in structure. Both can be effective, and both are prescribed based on your labs, symptoms, and health history. Bendavid Clinic offers bioidentical and conventional options rather than defaulting to one, and reviews the evidence for each with you before you start.

Do you treat low testosterone in men?

Yes. Low testosterone — sometimes called low T or andropause — can cause fatigue, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, low libido, and mood changes. Our naturopathic doctors evaluate those symptoms alongside bloodwork before recommending testosterone replacement therapy, because thyroid, sleep, and metabolic conditions produce similar symptoms. Men in the Burlington, Vermont area can start with a full hormone evaluation at our clinic.

Do you provide gender-affirming hormone therapy?

Yes. Bendavid Clinic provides gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender and gender-diverse patients in Burlington, Vermont. Care is individualized and moves at the pace and stage that fits your goals, with ongoing lab monitoring and dose adjustment throughout. Your care is provided by licensed naturopathic doctors who treat you as a whole person rather than a checklist.

Can hormone therapy help with perimenopause symptoms?

Yes. Perimenopause — the years of hormonal fluctuation before periods stop — can bring irregular cycles, hot flashes, sleep disruption, anxiety, and brain fog, often while standard lab results still read as normal. You don’t need to wait until menopause is complete to be evaluated. We treat symptoms and lab values together, and adjust the plan as your transition progresses. Patients often pair hormone care with our aesthetic and regenerative treatments for the skin changes that come with it.

Does insurance cover hormone replacement therapy?

Coverage varies by plan and by service. Office visits and lab work are often billable to insurance, while some hormone prescriptions — including certain bioidentical and compounded formulations — may be self-pay. Call our Burlington office at 802-881-0424 before your first visit and we’ll help you confirm what your specific plan covers.

Are you accepting new patients for hormone therapy?

Yes. Bendavid Clinic is currently accepting new patients for hormone replacement therapy and welcomes referrals from other providers. You can schedule in person or by telemedicine through our online booking, or call our Burlington, Vermont office at 802-881-0424 to get started with an initial evaluation.
