Naturopathic Philosophy
Our naturopaths believe an integrative approach to medicine is best. Both conventional and naturopathic medicine have their place in healthcare. We always refer patients to other healthcare providers when warranted.
As naturopaths, we aim to identify and address the underlying cause of the disease, rather than just its symptoms. We spend time with patients asking questions, reviewing lab work and performing necessary examinations to understand the patient’s concerns.
We take a rational, evidence-based approach to our treatments. We critically appraise all treatment options and strive to recommend the safest, most effective treatments.
Our naturopaths consider diet and lifestyle as the foundation of our treatments. We recommend diets to remove food sensitivities, decrease inflammation, address nutritional deficiencies and help maintain a healthy weight.
Natural supplements are sometimes required to treat a condition. Patients are often overwhelmed by the numerous supplements available and unsure of what to take. Our naturopaths only want to recommend the most essential and cost-effective supplements for their patients.
Our Approach:
Our Guelph naturopaths always begin with diet and lifestyle modification to improve health. Supplementation with herbs and/or nutrients may be required depending on the condition. We often work with patients to:
- Develop meal plans
- Remove food sensitivities
- Assess for nutrient deficiencies
- Eradicate infections
- Decrease inflammation
- Alleviate pain
- Manage stress
- Improve sleep
- Balance blood sugar
- Lose weight
- Prevent disease
- Relieve bloating
