As a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) I have the privilege of hearing thousands of people tell me intimate details about their health and lifestyle. With every patient that walks through the door there is a story that follows them; a story that I try to piece together, like a jigsaw puzzle. It helps me understand why they are dealing with whatever ailment that brought them in.
One of the first questions I ask them is "why they believe they have the signs and symptoms they have" and I am saddened when I hear time and time again, "Well, I am over 40 so I guess my health just got worse." They say this as if the body is now 'broken' and that it starts malfunctioning once you hit 40 (or 50 or whatever age you happen to be at).

IV Therapy
Report
Intravenous (IV) vitamin and mineral therapy is a safe and powerful healing tool. IV therapy consists of a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients specifically selected for a patient's condition and are administered directly into the vein. Administering the nutrients intravenously can achieve serum concentrations higher than what can be obtained through oral supplementation.
Botanical Medicine
Report
Botanical medicine is the use of herbs to help heal the body. Herbs have been used for centuries, long before drugs, to help heal those who are sick with a multitude of ailments. Animals instinctively use herbs to heal themselves and most of the world still uses plants as their primary source of medicine.
Nutritional Analysis and Counselling
Report
Doctor's of Naturopathic Medicine are some of the leaders in nutrition education due to their extensive nutritional training. We believe that diet is fundamental to healing and cannot be overlooked. Without a proper diet the body cannot function properly as many specific nutrients are needed for a multitude of processes within the body.
