Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Nonbinary, Genderfluid & Gender Nonconforming Individuals

 

At Medimix Compound Pharmacy, we honour the full spectrum of gender identity and expression. Located in Langley, BC, we provide personalized hormone therapy for nonbinary, genderfluid, and gender nonconforming individuals across Canada. Whether you’re exploring subtle changes through microdosing or seeking a tailored hormonal approach to suit your evolving identity, we’re here to support you with expertise, compassion, and care.


What is Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Gender-Diverse Identities?

Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) for nonbinary, genderfluid, and gender nonconforming people is all about flexibility and choice. Unlike traditional binary transitions, many people seek subtle shifts rather than full masculinization or feminization—and that’s exactly what personalized GAHT can provide.

Nonbinary identities exist beyond the male/female binary—fluid, expansive, and personal. Your expression may shift over time, and your care should adapt alongside you.

At Medimix, we prepare custom hormone blends to match your goals, respecting your journey and affirming your identity at every stage.


The Basics of Nonbinary Hormone Therapy

Nonbinary and gender nonconforming hormone therapy uses hormones like testosterone or estrogen in lower or adjusted doses to align with your unique vision of self.

For example:

  • Low-dose testosterone might slightly deepen the voice or promote light facial hair.

  • Low-dose estrogen could soften skin or redistribute fat gently without triggering dramatic changes.

Whether you’re exploring microdosing, full-dose options, or a custom blend somewhere in between, Medimix crafts personalized therapies to meet you where you are.


Microdosing Testosterone and Estrogen

Microdosing GAHT is popular among nonbinary and genderfluid individuals who want partial effects. It’s a gentle way to explore how hormone therapy can help you express yourself.

  • Microdosing testosterone may lead to small increases in energy, mild muscle development, or subtle voice shifts.

  • Microdosing estrogen can slightly soften features, reduce body hair, or ease the sharpness of certain traits—without inducing full feminization.

Our compounding pharmacy prepares precise microdoses to match your goals—no more, no less. If your needs evolve, so can your formulation.


Low-Dose GAHT for Genderfluid Expression

For those who identify as genderfluid—moving between expressions and identities—low-dose hormone therapy offers control and flexibility.

Low-dose GAHT gives you the ability to influence your body in subtle, affirming ways:

  • Adjust testosterone to gently enhance sharper lines or slight hair growth.

  • Use estrogen to add softness or balance sharper features.

With support from Medimix, you’re never locked into a binary framework. We help you explore and adjust at your own pace.


Common Side Effects of Microdosing Hormones

While low-dose hormone therapy tends to be milder than traditional GAHT, there are still some effects to be aware of:

Low-dose testosterone may cause:

  • Mild acne or oilier skin

  • Slight voice changes

  • Increased energy or libido

Microdosed estrogen might lead to:

  • Tenderness in the chest area

  • Subtle mood shifts

  • Skin softening

We work with your healthcare provider to monitor your therapy and make adjustments if needed—always prioritizing your comfort and well-being.

  • Adjust your dose over time
