What is Naturopathic Medicine?
More than ever, people want real answers about their health—not just quick fixes. The functional medical approach goes hand in hand with naturopathic medicine because both focus on getting to the root cause of symptoms so you can feel better now and stay better for years to come. This approach is especially powerful for chronic conditions, stubborn health concerns, and that frustrating feeling of “just not being yourself.”
In functional and naturopathic medicine, we combine advanced medical testing with a deep understanding of how your body’s systems work together. We look at the whole picture—your lifestyle, environment, and unique biology—to create a plan that not only relieves symptoms but also restores balance and prevents future issues. It’s healthcare that works with your body, not against it, to help you thrive.

What Will My Treatments Be Like?
Every person will get an individualized treatment plan catered specifically to their needs. No two people are exactly alike, and so no two treatments are exactly the same. Your treatments will depend on your current health concerns, your general health history, your overall health goals, and your motivation to affect change.
Sometimes people with longstanding health concerns require more time before they start seeing improvements in their condition. Rather than simply masking symptoms, naturopathic medicine aims to address the root cause of a condition.
Healing from the inside out tends to offer more therapeutic and long lasting results, however, these changes sometimes do not occur over night. Gradual yet profound changes are the goal of our therapies.
Feel free to ask your ND questions about your treatment plan and prognosis; getting healthier is a team effort
What Kind of Training do NDs Have?
Naturopathic doctors are highly educated primary care providers. Naturopathic medical students complete a four-year, full-time program after graduating from a university undergraduate program. The naturopathic medical program encompasses basic medical sciences, naturopathic principles and therapeutics and 1200 hours of supervised clinical experience. Graduates must pass two sets of provincial licensing board exams and maintain ongoing continuing education.
