Naturopathic & Functional Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct healing science and philosophy that blends traditional natural therapies with current advances in the study of human health. It is a primary healthcare system that takes in consideration the whole person with mind, body and spirit.
Naturopathic Medicine aims to treat the underlying cause of disease; it is the art and science of supporting the natural healing processes of the body; the removal of any obstacle to the healing process; and the promotion of good health using methods that support and enhance a patient's overall health.

Key principles of naturopathic medicine include:

• Do No Harm: Engaging the least invasive and most natural therapies to minimize the risk of side effects and avoid suppressing symptoms.
• The Healing Power of Nature: Recognizing, respecting and promoting the self-healing power in each individual human being.
• Identify and Treat the Root Cause: Aiming towards identifying and addressing the underlying causes of illness, instead of just suppressing symptoms.
• Treat the Whole Person: Treating each person by considering all individual health factors and influences: physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social factors.
• Doctor as Teacher: Educating patients about their health and empower them to take control.

• Individualized Care: Reconizing that each person is unique, requiring personalized treatment plans based on their specific health history, genetic makeup, and environmental factors.
• Systems-Oriented Approach: Viewing the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of independent organs. Functional medicine seeks to understand the interconnection of different bodily systems and the affect on each other.
• Patient-Centered Care: Emphasizing the patient’s story and working collaboratively with them to design a comprehensive care plan that aligns with their values and goals.
• Focus on Root Causes: Instead of just treating symptoms, functional medicine aims to identify and address the underlying causes of disease, such as nutritional deficiencies, chronic inflammation, or hormonal imbalances.
• Integration of Traditional and Modern Medicine: Functional medicine blends traditional medical practices with evidence-based alternatives, including nutrition, lifestyle changes, stress management, and advanced laboratory testing.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I take a holistic approach to health, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body and mind. In my approach I may use a combination of targeted nutrient supplementation, lifestyle modifications, dietary recommendations, botanical medicine, to support hormone and cognitive function and well-being.

Specifically, applying naturopathic and functional medicine approaches to identify and address potential underlying contributors to cognitive decline and hormone imbalance, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies. 

In addition to these modalities, through personalized IV (intravenous) therapy, we can provide a targeted way to deliver important nutrients and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream, for enhanced absorption. IV formulas are customized to address specific health needs, such as balancing immune function, promoting neuroprotection, improving neurotransmitter balance, and supporting overall cognitive function and more.

By combining naturopathic principles with the advanced delivery method of IV therapy, our clinic aims to provide comprehensive support for brain health, hormonal health and overall well-being.
