"Being healthy isn’t an end goal, it’s a lifestyle. Let’s change our lives together!"
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is primary health care with the emphasis on disease prevention and the self-healing process through the use of healthy living and natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that your body can heal itself. It aims to improve your health, prevent disease, and treat illness through nutrition counselling; educating a healthy, balanced lifestyle; and offering a variety of different modalities to promote your health and treat your sickness. The goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat you as a whole person, considering your mind, body, and spirit. It also aims to heal the root causes of your illness, not just treat your symptoms. Naturopathic medicine also focuses on education and disease prevention.

My Naturopathic Medicine Approach
As your naturopathic doctor, I may serve as your primary care doctor. I will spend 1 to 2 hours examining you and asking questions about your health history, stress levels and lifestyle habits. I may order some lab tests as well. Afterwards, I will focus on all aspects of your life, identifying and addressing the impact of stress and life events on your health and assisting you to make effective lifestyle choices. As your Naturopathic doctor, I can use a variety of treatments, such as;
-
Clinical Nutrition, providing special diets, adjusting your dietary habits or recommending nutritional supplements,
-
Botanical Medicine, the use of plants for healing, in the format of teas, tinctures or capsules for their healing effects and nutritional value,
-
Homeopathic Medicine, by prescribing homeopathic remedies designed to stimulate your body “vital force” and strengthen its innate ability to heal,
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, based on balancing the flow of energy in your body and optimizing your physical and mental health, and
-
Physical Medicine, which includes therapeutic massage; manipulation of muscle, bone or the spine; hydrotherapy techniques; gentle electrical impulses, ultrasound; and exercise therapy.
I also will be able to prescribe some medications like vitamins and hormones and do Intravenous therapies. You do not have to be sick to try Naturopathic Medicine. You may just want to boost your overall health or prevent an illness, specifically cancers, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. I am here for you to help!
