I get a lot of questions about WHY someone would go see a Naturopathic Doctor, so I thought I would put together 5 reasons why you should see one.
1. WE SPEND THE TIME
As Naturopathic Doctors we spend the time with you to listen to your complete past medical history, all your current concerns and what health goals you have for your future. We are passionate and fascinated by the workings of the human body and want to educate you about the physiology behind your concerns. I also want to make sure you are aware of the reasoning in everything that is recommended for you in your treatment plan, and what you can expect moving forward when working together. We are on a health journey together.
2. WE ARE NOT THE SAME
You are not the same as me, your health concerns are not the same as mine, my previous patient or any to come. We are all unique. We all have differing health histories, family histories and stories that make our health journey very individual. Therefore, your treatment plan is personally curated for you and your specific concerns, needs and goals. This is what healthcare should look like. Personalized medicine.
3. WE ARE EVIDENCE-BASED
The treatment plans that are provided to you are not only individualized, but they are also evidence-based. This means that they are based on medical research results and trials that have been conducted that could therefore provide benefit for you. As well, Naturopathic Doctors have to complete an Undergraduate Degree before completing 4 years at an accredited Naturopathic College, as well as passing many standardized board exams, before becoming licensed.
4. WE PROVIDE INTEGRATIVE CARE
I encourage all my patients to have an integrative health care team, made up of who ever you want. Medical Doctors, Naturopathic Doctors, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, etc. Its in your hands who you want on your health team. I like to work collaboratively with these health care providers to make sure that you get the support you deserve. Its also important to note that we, as Naturopathic Doctors, are covered under most insurance plans which can be great for providing access to our care.
5. WE UNDERSTAND THE WHY
I want to understand WHY something is happening in your body. Are your hormones imbalanced, is there dybiosis in your gut, is your lifestyle not supporting your health goals. Understanding these and many other concerns through a detailed history, thorough blood work and testing gives us the information needed to heal the root cause of the concern.
