Gut Support.
Research shows that gastrointestinal imbalances are a major driver of hormone-related conditions (PCOS, endometriosis, painful periods, hypothyroidism, and more). My understanding of the GI function and approach can be life changing, literally. Gut health is at the “core” of so many symptoms and conditions for people of all ages.
Natural Professional Pharmacy.
Our natural pharmacy is years in the making, taking out the guess work for you. Choosing trusted, third party tested and when possible, Canadian companies, we have a very special natural pharmacy that is dedicated and devoted to our patients. Our natural dispensary is within the clinic making it easy for you, yet I often make affordable, evidence based suggestions you can readily get online or out in your community.
Menopause Hormone Therapy.
Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), formally known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is safe and has many benefits when you are a candidate. I have been prescribing hormone therapy for the past decade to women for fertility reasons and in perimenopause and menonpause. Endocrinology is the area where I like to geek out the most and do many hours of continuing education - including how to safely and effectively prescribe menopause hormone therapy.
Integrative Fertility Support.
With 10 years of clinical experience plus my own fertility journey, I understand the struggles of infertility and offer naturopathic & acupuncture support to couples who need help with conception both naturally or assisted. What is the PEAK Fertility Method+?
Acupuncture.
Research shows acupuncture improves many health conditions including fertility, sleep, stress, PMS, cycle irregularity and more. If pregnant, acupuncture can reduce miscarriage risk and alleviate common symptoms of pregnancy safely and effectively.
Naturopathic Prenatal Care.
It’s your health and their future. I love helping couples navigate the unknown excitement and worry of pregnancy with timely prenatal visits 1-2X each trimester. As a mother of two, I believe naturopathic prenatal care elevates your general prenatal care experience to allow for a healthier pregnancy with more time for questions and care.
Nutrition Evaluation & Weight Loss Support.
Healthy body weight is essential for overall health. Body Mass Index (BMI) too high or too low can negatively impact your well being. Every patient can benefit from assessing their diet, exercise, and screen for nutrient deficiencies. Specific nutrition suggestions are always made to optimize your health or if weight loss is the goal, pharmaceuticals may be prescribed as a helpful tool.
Diagnostic/Lab Testing.
All lab results are confidential and must be reviewed by the doctor. For more information on testing, please call the clinic @ 604 -535-3335
Naturopathic doctors routinely order standard labs at such as: FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, ferritin/iron, thyroid panel, vitamin D, cholesterol panel, diabetes screen, and more. NDs can also order urine hormone panels, Cycle mapping, Adrenal cortisol panels, food allergy & sensitivity testing, candida, infectious stool tests, semen analysis and more.
Physical Exams.
Naturopathic physicians are trained to perform physical exams similar to a conventional GP -eyes, ears, nose, throat, abdominal exam, lungs, heart, blood pressure, smell, reflexes, hair/skin/nails, joint pain, BMI, and more.
