Frequently Asked Questions
What types of concerns do you help with?
We focus on hormonal, metabolic, and mental health support for women, especially through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife. Common concerns include hot flashes, sleep changes, mood changes, weight gain, brain fog, low energy, and changes in cycle or libido. We also manage mental health for general adults from age 18 years of age.
Do I need a referral to book with Violu Health?
No, you do not need a referral. You can contact us directly and our team will help you choose the right type of visit based on your symptoms and goals.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes. We offer secure virtual visits so you can access care from home. Some lab work or testing may still need to be done in person.
Will I need lab work or other testing?
Often, yes. Your clinician may recommend blood work or other tests to better understand your hormones, metabolism, and overall health. We’ll explain why each test is suggested and how it fits into your care plan.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your clinician will review your health history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. Together, you’ll discuss options such as lab testing, hormone therapy, metabolic support, and mental health resources. You’ll leave with a clear next‑step plan.
Do you only see women in menopause?
No. We support women across the hormonal journey, including early symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and post‑menopause, as well as metabolic and mental health concerns that may be linked to hormones.
Do you direct bill insurance or provincial health plans?
Coverage varies. Some services may be covered, and others may be out‑of‑pocket. Our team will review fees with you before you book so there are no surprises.
How long are appointments?
New patient visits are typically longer so we can review your history, symptoms, and goals in depth. Follow-up visits are usually shorter and focused on checking in, reviewing results, and adjusting your plan.
How soon will I see results?
Every woman is different. Some people notice changes within weeks, while others need more time as we adjust treatment and support. We focus on safe, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
Is this an emergency service?
No. Violu Health is not an emergency service. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department.
Do you offer consulting services?
Yes, Violu Health provides professional consulting services for healthcare providers looking to enhance their clinical approach to hormonal health, women's health, men's health, mental health and metabolic health. These professional services are tailored to the specific needs of your organization, with fees negotiated on a per-contract basis.
