Our Approach
Our Approach and Philosophy to Health and Healing:
- Naturopathic Doctor Assessment – A thorough consultation and physical examination are conducted in order to determine the cause(s) and aggravating factors to your health situation. We determine your health goals, and assess various indicators of balance in your life.
- Testing – Beyond standard medical tests, additional tests are recommended to assess your level of nutrition, toxin load, and metabolic functions. Nutri-genetic tests are sometimes recommended to uncover susceptibilities.
- Preliminary Treatment – After reviewing the above information, a naturopathic medical diagnosis is determined, and a course of action is proposed to address your health concerns and imbalances. Treatments can vary, and may include dietitian/nutritional consulting; herbal, homeopathic, or acupuncture treatment; organ strengthening; and eventually comprehensive detoxification/cleansing (see Services).
- Health Promotion and Illness Prevention – Once your primary health concerns are addressed and improving, we transition into developing a health promotion and prevention plan. Over my ten years of experience I have learned that Prevention is better than cure.
