Guiding You To Better Health
Evidence and Guideline-Based Men’s and Women’s Hormone and Midlife Healthcare
JUDY GARDINER
Judy is a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care, Midlife Health, and Heart Disease.
Midlife Healthcare and Advocacy became her mission a few years ago when she started a harsh menopause transition and could not access care. Her Primary Care Team declined over several visits and her referral for care has been pending since June 2023.
Since then she has become Menopause Society Certified, opened two clinics (so far), and become and International Speaker on midlife health. She has been featured on CBC’s (scroll down to listen) the morning drive, and Chatelaine Magazine.
Judy was a Top Expert Group Member on the Centre for Effective Practice’s Menopause Tool. She was honoured to be a featured Expert at The National Menopause Show on Heart Disease and Osteoporosis Screening in midlife.
She is the Medical Director of the Stratford Family Health Team’s Midlife Women’s Clinic and the award-winning NP Program Lead for the Huron-Perth Heart Function Clinic.
While Judy continues to advocate for better government funded midlife health care and better nurse practitioner coverage, she continues to offer care to those struggling with midlife changes and health optimization.
