7 Reasons to see a Naturopathic Doctor

Time. Naturopathic doctors can spend more time with you. Our initial visits are an hour, where we comb through your health history, symptoms and get to know you. We will ask lots of questions and give you time to have your concerns about your health answered as well.

Lots of Treatment Options. Naturopathic Doctors are trained in many different ‘modalities’ of healing. We can do acupuncture, give nutritional advice, use herbal medicine and supplements, give IVs and booster shots and even prescribe pharmaceuticals. We will work together to determine the best option for you!

Functional testing. We offer lab testing (in BC it is through lifelabs) so we can get an accurate diagnosis and track your results. We also offer functional testing such as food sensitivity tests, advanced hormone testing and advanced gut & dysbiosis tests.

Training. Naturopathic Doctors have no shortage of training. After an undergraduate degree, NDs are trained for 4 years in both the classroom and clinic at an accredited school. Training includes biomedical sciences, diagnosis and labs, Traditional Chinese Medicine, botanical medicine, nutrition and physical medicine.

Root cause medicine. We are detectives, trying to get to the bottom of your concerns. I spend hours researching, trying to tie symptoms together and find the best herb/supplement etc to help you get better for good! Sometimes we have to manage symptoms while we work on the underlying cause, but that is always out target.

Holistic approach. This ties in with searching for the root cause. We will make sure we look at you as a whole person so we can determine where adjustments may need to be made. Our body’s are intricate networks of systems, all working together. When even something minor is blocked or out of balance, the whole system can feel the effect.

Holistic Skincare and Anti-aging approach! Not all NDs offer this, but I am additionally trained to provide skincare services and advice for all of your anti-aging and skin concerns! As an ND I will always make sure we do it as natural as possible and work on all of the aspects that contribute to skin health. Book your Initial Naturopathic consultation now!
