What to expect

Your care, step by step.

Every Effica pathway follows the LIGHT™ Method. Here is how each stage looks for this pathway, from your first intake to what happens after your plan is in place.

L

Listen

First, we listen — deeply and deliberately.

Before we talk about hormones, treatment or next steps, we take the time to understand more of you: what has changed, your health history, your lifestyle, your well-being and what matters most to you.

What happens
  • A comprehensive health intake, intentionally designed to understand more than the symptoms that brought you here.
  • Questions about your symptoms and how they have changed over time, alongside your medical and family history, medications, screening and reproductive health.
  • A deeper look at sleep, mood, cognition, lifestyle, behaviours, sexual and pelvic health, well-being, risks and priorities.
  • Space to tell us what matters in your own words. Take your time, pause and return whenever you need to.
How long it takes
  • Take the time you need. This is intentionally comprehensive and the time will vary. Complete it at your own pace, over one or more sittings.

I

Illuminate

We bring the information together, so you can see the bigger picture.

Effica Clinical Intelligence™ brings together what you have shared and helps make sense of it in the context of current evidence. When you complete your intake, you receive your Intake Insights.

What happens
  • Effica Clinical Intelligence™ brings together hundreds of health signals to help surface patterns, connections, risks and priorities.
  • You receive personalized Intake Insights that help you see your symptoms and health information together, not as disconnected pieces.
  • Before you meet, your clinician receives a detailed analysis of your health information, examined against current evidence and clinical guidelines.
Behind the scenes
  • Effica Clinical Intelligence™ is grounded in current evidence and leading menopause guidance, including the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), Canadian Menopause Society, The Menopause Society, and International Menopause Society.
How long it takes
  • Your Intake Insights are available as soon as you complete your intake, so you can review them before your appointment.

G

Guide

A 60-minute consult with a clinician who already knows your story.

Your menopause care is only part of the conversation. You spend 60 minutes one-on-one with your Collaborative Care Practitioner exploring not only what you are experiencing now, but the broader picture of your health.

What happens
  • Together, you look more deeply at prevention and future health risks, screening, nutrition, movement, sleep, lifestyle, behaviour, emotional well-being, sexual and pelvic health, and what matters most to you as you age.
  • Your practitioner helps you understand your risks and priorities, provides education and works with you to turn what you have learned into realistic, personalized actions.
  • When additional expertise could help, your practitioner can connect you with non-insured experts in areas such as nutrition, CBT and behavioural health, sexual health, pelvic health and fitness.
  • Your Effica physician provides your menopause assessment and treatment, including prescriptions, investigations and medical follow-up when clinically appropriate.
  • You receive a detailed, personalized Health Span report and follow-up plan. If you choose, a summary can also be shared with your primary care provider.
Behind the scenes
  • Your physician leads your medical menopause assessment and treatment. Your Collaborative Care Practitioner works alongside you on the broader picture: helping you understand your health, identify what matters most and connect the right expertise around you.
How long it takes
  • A dedicated 60-minute consultation with your Collaborative Care Practitioner, plus your physician-led Menopause Symptom Assessment & Treatment.

H

Heal

Your plan becomes care.

Heal is where your assessment and care plan are put into action: from menopause treatment and medical follow-up to the broader lifestyle, behavioural and preventive actions identified through Health Span.

What happens
  • Your menopause treatment is put into action alongside the broader Health Span plan you developed with your Collaborative Care Practitioner.
  • Your Effica physician manages the medical aspects of your menopause care, including appropriate prescriptions, investigations and medical follow-up.
  • Your Collaborative Care Practitioner helps you begin acting on the priorities identified through your Health Span assessment, including prevention, nutrition, movement, sleep, behaviour, emotional well-being, and sexual and pelvic health.
  • This is not simply a list of things you should do. Your practitioner helps you determine what to work on, where to start and how to make changes realistic and sustainable.
  • When specialized support would help, we can connect you with non-insured experts such as dietitians, CBT and behavioural health practitioners, sexual health experts, pelvic health practitioners and fitness professionals.
How long it takes
  • Your initial Personalized Healthspan Consult gives you a detailed report, personalized plan and clear priorities for what comes next.
  • You can choose to continue with ongoing Health Span support through Membership to help implement your plan over time.

T

Thrive

If you want your care to continue.

This pathway is designed as a complete assessment and plan. If you would like a care team with you across the year to put that plan into action, Effica Membership continues from exactly this point.

What happens
  • Membership begins with everything in this pathway, then adds three further 60-minute Health Span consultations, four expert consultations, direct messaging and proactive monitoring.
  • You can decide after your consult. Nothing here requires you to continue.
