My Approach & Naturopathic Medicine
I chose to become a naturopathic doctor because I believed in a better way for women’s health. As a woman who has suffered for many years with hormonal issues & severe period pain, I know how frustrating it can be when you leave your doctor’s office without answers or root-cause solutions. Naturopathic doctors utilize a whole-person approach to healing & focus on getting to the root cause using evidence-based, natural modalities.
How I Practice:
-
Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing can often help us glean more information than typical lab work. Comprehensive blood work + functional labs, including urinary hormone metabolites, stool analysis & environmental toxins are a few of my favorites to utilize in clinical care.
-
Foundations of Health
Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes the importance of addressing the foundations of health. These include things like diet, sleep, stress, movement, exposures & other areas that help promote a solid foundation for health & healing.
-
Botanical Medicine & Nutritional Supplements
Botanical medicine is an amazing and effective modality. Individuality is incredibly important as an herb that works for one person may not be indicated for another. Targeted nutritional supplements can also play a vital role in supporting overall health & correcting deficiencies.
