Naturopathic Consultations

During an initial visit, naturopathic doctors aim to gather as much relevant information as possible to gain a comprehensive understanding of your health. This assessment involves a thorough health history, discussion of current health concerns, physical examinations, and often additional investigations. By the end of the visit, you should have an idea about what next steps towards better health look like.

Comprehensive Laboratory Testing

Often, additional investigations are warranted to understand your health status. This may include physical exams to assess body systems including the head and neck, lungs, heart, and abdomen.
Laboratory testing might include:

• Screening tests for general markers of health
• Advanced condition-specific laboratory testing
• Comprehensive hormone testing
• Food sensitivity testing
• Testing for nutrient deficiencies

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Prescriptions

Pharmaceutical Prescriptions: Naturopathic Physicians in BC with pharmaceutical prescribing rights are able to prescribe a wide range of medications.

Nutraceutical Prescriptions: Targeted supplements such as vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and botanicals may also be a useful addition to many care plans. We will choose evidenced-based options that work best for you.

IV  Therapy

IV (intravenous) infusions involve safely delivering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream for optimal absorption. This therapy can help boost energy, support immune function, enhance hydration, and promote overall health. Whether used for recovery, stress management, or chronic health conditions, IV therapy offers efficient nutrient absorption to replenish nutrients at the cellular level.

Iron infusion IVs can also be used specifically to target iron deficiency. This can be a great option when dietary intake or oral supplementation are insufficient.

Vitamin & Nutrient Injections

IM (intramuscular) injections involve safely delivering vitamins or custom nutrient combinations directly into muscle. By avoiding the digestive tract, IM therapies offer rapid absorption to address nutrient deficiencies (vitamin D or vitamin B12) or improve energy.

Diet & Lifestyle Support

Discussions about the foundations of health including nutrition, physical activity, and sleep are part of all long-term plans.
