The Current is a group-based, community-driven program. We focus on building the menopause foundations. It’s not the right fit and you may be better suited for our 1:1 care program if: - You’re seeking individualized 1:1 medical care or have complex health concerns. - You need new prescriptions, hormone therapy initation, or advanced lab testing (these are offered in our 1:1 care). - You’re looking for a quick fix rather than long-term, sustainable change. - You live outside British Columbia, Canada. ## Commonly asked questions How big are the groups?
