Katelyn Schwartz, NP
TRT, BHRT, and Menopause Treatment · Informed by clinical research
Family Nurse Practitioner with a decade of clinical research at the Cleveland VA Medical Center. Eight peer-reviewed publications. Master of Public Health from Kent State University.
Katie trained as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Wheeling University, graduating in 2023, after seven years of clinical research and a Master of Public Health from Kent State University. Her research career was based at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Research Foundation, where she contributed to peer-reviewed work on biomarkers in chronic disease and the development of clinical predictive tools.
Following her FNP certification, Katie completed a year-long Advanced Practice Registered Nurse fellowship in Infectious Disease at Orlando Health Regional Medical Center before relocating to Vancouver and joining Beyoung Health. She is registered to practice in British Columbia with the BC College of Nurses and Midwives, registration #1045374.
Her clinical practice covers testosterone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement, and perimenopause and menopause management. Her research training shapes how she approaches treatment decisions: she works from cohort-level evidence and individual patient data rather than fixed protocols.
