About Kathleen Mahannah
Growing up as an athlete in North Vancouver, I've always been fascinated by the human body. I never cease to be amazed by the ability of the body to grow, change, build up and break down.
Coming from a family of medical professionals, I gravitated towards the healthcare field and studied Exercise Science at Capilano College and then Physical Health and Education at the University of Toronto.
As a varsity athlete for both my college and university varsity volleyball teams, I experienced the transformation that occurs with dedicated high-performance training.
I also experienced the deep impact of stress and burnout on my hormone health. I know exactly how bewildering and frustrating it is to feel like you are at the mercy of your hormones.
I spent years as a patient navigating my own hormone health concerns, going from one specialist to the next, trying to get answers to why I felt the way I did.
Being offered the birth control pill as a "solution" didn't feel like the answer I was looking for. It wasn't until I stumbled across Naturopathic Medicine that the pieces finally fell into place and I was able to take back control of my health and hormones.
