About one in three adults report symptoms tied to energy, sleep, mood or metabolism
More than 75 percent of menopausal women experience disruptive symptoms, and about 1 in 3 adults report problems with energy, sleep, mood or metabolic health, yet specialized hormone care is hard to reach, said.
Science&Humans said they are trying to close part of that gap through Canadian benefits plans.
Science&Humans has partnered with Quikcard to make its hormone health program available to plan members across Canada, with coverage starting today, the two companies said.
The program combines lab diagnostics, virtual consultations with clinicians, personalized treatment plans and ongoing follow-up.
The company delivers the service digitally, so members start with an online health assessment and lab testing, then complete a one-on-one consultation with a licensed practitioner.
Members then receive a care plan that includes treatment and prescription support where appropriate, with follow-up that changes as their needs change, the company added.
Science&Humans said hormone conditions often run through fragmented care, with limited continuity or long-term support, and that rates of metabolic conditions, including insulin resistance, continue to rise among working-age populations.
Quikcard is adjusting its benefits to reflect the "everyday health needs of our members," said Chris Biddeson, director of business development.
He said the deal with Science&Humans gives plan members access to clinician-led care.
"Access to continuous, personalized care is becoming essential as more individuals seek support for hormone and metabolic health," said Aftab Pashaw, co-founder and CEO of Science&Humans.
The companies described the agreement as part of a wider change in Canadian benefits, with providers adding more personalized and preventative options alongside standard coverage models, the announcement said.
