Naturopathic nutrition is the therapeutic use of whole foods to address intolerances, toxicities and nutrient deficiencies; not a one-size-fits-all approach to diet, your individual needs and circumstances are discussed with optimization as well as flexibility in mind.

Targeted supplementation with vitamin and mineral combinations help correct deficiencies as well as target specific conditions, restore normal cellular activity, and balance hormones.

Sometimes considered nutrients, this category of natural medicine includes whole food and plant extracts and naturally derived compounds with medicinal benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These are used to stimulate natural processes in the body, improve metabolism of hormones, and encourage tissue function.

The use of plants in the form of tea infusions, tinctures, tablets, or capsules have a long history of use to treat a wide variety of conditions by addressing the root cause, stimulating natural processes (e.g. digestive secretions), and alleviating symptoms.

Having an active listener present through your journey can often be the most significant medicine one can receive. Always with an open and empathic approach, counselling is helpful for working through everyday stressors, anxiety and depression, and life management challenges.

Naturopathic Doctors frequently order conventional blood tests as well as functional medicine tests (e.g. salivary/urinary hormones) in order to obtain a root cause diagnosis for your symptoms. Learn more about hormone testing here.
