Fitness and healthy lifestyle

General health and longevity

Naturopathic medicine uses lifestyle strategies and natural treatments for the prevention and treatment of a variety of health concerns. Common complaints naturopathic medicine can help address include fatigue, arthritis, digestive concerns (e.g. heartburn, IBS, SIBO), thyroid conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, and menstrual complains.

Longevity medicine encompasses strategies aimed at extending both lifespan and healthspan.

Key aspects include:

  1. Reducing risks of chronic diseases (heart disease, insulin resistance and diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer).

  2. Improving functional ability and preventing frailty

  3. Addressing conditions impacting quality of life and health

  4. Promoting healthy lifestyle and nutrition behaviours

This framework is a proactive, holistic, and personalized approach to health optimization and disease prevention.

 What can you expect?

  • Nutritional guidance.

    What you eat impacts your health. I offer dietary strategies to support your health goals.

  • Natural health products.

    Dietary supplements (e.g. vitamins, minerals) and herbal medicine are used to treat illness, resolve symptoms, and prevent diseases. Treatments are specified to your health goals, medical history and other medications.

  • Lifestyle.

    Your daily habits can be a help or a hindrance to your health. I offer suggestions on lifestyle factors such as sleep, screentime, and movement.

  • Individualized care.

    We will come up with a plan that addresses your unique concerns, with flexibility to alter our approach if your needs change.

  • Lab testing.

    When necessary, I’ll use testing to help us get to the root of your health concerns.

  • Compassion.

    Your story matters. I will always do my best to listen and to respect your experiences and emotions. Sometimes, this is the best medicine of all.

  • Navigation.

    There's a lot of information out there, which can be confusing and overwhelming. I can help you make sense of it.

  • What you will NOT get.

    Extreme diets, blame, guilt, complex and overwhelming regimens, or costly treatments without evidence.
