Specialized medication optimization and deprescribing support when additional time and expertise are needed
I provide in-depth, patient-centered consultations focused on:
-
Deprescribing and medication optimization
-
Management of side effects and complex medication regimens
-
Support with difficult-to-taper medications (e.g., antidepressants, benzodiazepines, sleeping pills)
-
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) integration when appropriate
This is particularly helpful for patients who:
-
Are on multiple medications
-
Are experiencing side effects or suboptimal response
-
Have had difficulty tapering medications
-
Require a more individualized approach
Working together to support safe, effective care
My role is to complement, not replace, ongoing care. I work collaboratively with you to:
-
Provide detailed medication assessments and recommendations
-
Support safe, gradual deprescribing where appropriate
-
Facilitate patient education and follow-through
-
Communicate clearly regarding any recommended changes and next steps
For patients with a prescribing provider, I coordinate directly to support any medication adjustments. For those referred by non-prescribing providers, I work alongside you and the broader care team to ensure recommendations are implemented safely and appropriately.
Clear communication and continuity of care
Following each consultation, I provide:
-
A detailed summary of recommendations
-
Clinical rationale to support decision-making
-
Suggested tapering or optimization strategies (when applicable)
Patients are supported throughout the process, with follow-up as needed.
Referrals & Practice Support
Simple, flexible referral options
Referrals are welcome from both prescribers and allied health professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, naturopathic doctors, and mental health professionals.
I support referrals from providers across Ontario and Canada, with flexible options to fit your workflow:
What resonated most was the personalized approach—recognizing that medications aren’t just about managing symptoms, but can also impact long-term nutrition and wellness in subtle but significant ways. Stacey's expertise in deprescribing gave us practical tools to collaborate more effectively with healthcare teams and advocate for clients who may be experiencing unnecessary side effects or diminished quality of life due to overmedication, as well as how to support clients in understanding their medication and options.
