Chronic & Mental Health Conditions
Naturopathic Medicine is especially beneficial for individuals living with chronic health conditions. Lifestyle changes, nutritional counselling, supplementation and botanical support can be very helpful in modulating certain diseases by improving modifiable risk factors. Mental health conditions often involve more than just the mind or brain, they involve the entire body manifesting systemically and often beginning due to internal imbalances in the body. Mental health is a a very important aspect of overall health and effects us daily, therefore, daily management on a chronic or ongoing basis is crucial for improvement.

Having a firm diagnosis is not required in order to seek help. Naturopathic Medicine often helps people who don’t fall into specific predetermined categories. This is where small changes can truly make a difference. In order to practice integrative functional medicine, I encourage patients to seek assistance from a full health team in order to achieve true success in meeting your health goals.
