Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is where east meets west. Combining the ancient wisdom of eastern medicine; advances made in western’s evidence based medicine; and trusting in the intelligence of the body to heal itself if given the proper support.
A licensed naturopathic doctor will assess the underlying cause of your complaints and address these, thereby improving your overall health and well-being.
IV THERAPY
Intravenous (IV) Therapy is an excellent way to get nutrients to the body while by-passing the liver and digestive system. With IV therapies, you increase the nutrient levels in the blood stream for a period of time which help drive nutrients into the cells where they can be used to improve recovery, decrease fatigue and facilitate a return to health.
An IV Push Or Meyer’s Cocktail is a well researched procedure which has been getting increased attention in the media. Meyer’s Cocktail is named from the late John Myers, M.D., a Maryland physician who used IV injections of nutrients to treat his patients.
IV therapies for cancer and cardiovascular disease are well researched and supported. It has the ability to improve cellular function and thereby help to improve a patient’s overall state of health in advanced disease states.
CLINICAL NUTRITION
Everything we put in eat fuels us and provides us energy to keep our body’s performance through times of work, play and disease. That being said, today our Standard North American Diet (SAD diet) is leading us into a constant state of systemic inflammation which can lead to degenerative diseases and a decreased quality of life.
We will help design a program which will increase your overall health and quality of life. This will be accomplished by an in-depth assessment of your current health and medical conditions through history, symptoms as well as physical exams. The end goal is to provide you with an optimized health plan to help you achieve a higher quality of life.
