  • I want to try a natural medical treatment, should I see a naturopath physician?

    Yes definitely. But, depending on where you are that phrase may mean different things. Look for a Naturopathic Doctor or Physician who holds a license to practice medicine. Not every state licenses Naturopathic Doctors. Look for one who holds a license, even if it is in a different state. Vermont, Oregon, Arizona and Washington NDs get to use their full scope of practice therefore they stay up on a larger swath of medical innovation. READ MORE

  • Can natural remedies treat insomnia?

    There are so many options. I have sufferred with insomnia in the past and it was one of the issues that got me into natural medicine! However, I would need to knwo more about your particular presentation, what you have tried, etc. to determine what might work best for you! READ MORE

  • Are there any herbs that can treat anxiety?

    Absolutely! It is important to know what you have tried in the past, including pharmaceuticals, to determine the best direction to start with herbs. For example, if I have had a patient who used Xanax with great success I will start with a much different herbal protocol than if they had tried Xanax and found it to be ineffective. There are so many different herbs that work on different mechanisms of anxiety that it helps to narrow down the field. READ MORE

  • Are there ways to bring down blood pressure naturally?

    Yes, absolutely. But, they are not shortcuts. When I have a patient with high blood pressure, we may start with medication but add in dietary changes, exercise and supplements, possibly neurofeedback, to address underlying causes of high blood pressure. Then we can frequently take away the medication safely. High blood pressure is important to treat. READ MORE

  • Can naturopathic treatment work for seniors?

  • Is the Keto diet healthy?

    The keto diet was originally intended to treat epilepsy in children. It can be safely used for weight loss for a short period of time (3-6 months) but for most people longer than that will damage their gut microbiome. However, not everyone losses weight on keto. READ MORE

  • Is a water fast safe or healthy?

    It is neither safe nor wise to do a water fast for weight loss. The weight you lose would not stay gone and it is less healthy to lose and regain weight than it is to stay at a heavier weight. The only safe and healthy way to lose weight is slowly with a healthy, sustainable diet. Contact a nutritionist to help. READ MORE

  • Are homeopathic remedies effective?

    If you spent time with a skilled homeopathic doctor it’s possible that they could help you prevent future UTIs, but it is not a quick fix. And UTIs can progress very quickly to kidney infections. A kidney infection is quite dangerous. Please use treatment prescribed by your doctor and not advice from the internet. READ MORE

  • I am on a naturopathic weight loss program and passing a lot of gas. Is it normal?

    There is no single naturopathic weight loss program. If a naturopathic doctor prescribed it to you, I’d advise that you ask them if this is normal. If it was not prescribed for you specifically by a naturopathic doctor then I would suggest finding one, explaining in detail what you are doing so that they can determine if there is something unexpected happening with your digestion.

  • I have a typical sinus allergy. How can naturopathy help?

    Yes. I use a combination of supplements and antihistamines when the allergy season is already started, but the best option is starting preventative herbs a few months before the worst of the season. My patients who set a reminder to start up their preventative medicines don’t have allergy symptoms this year. READ MORE

  • My father has been diagnosed with IBD. Do you think naturopathic treatment may help him?

  • How is diarrhea treated with natural medicine?

    Naturopathic medicine is individualized medicine. There are acute treatments for diarrhea that happens as a result of food poisoning or a short term infectious agent. There are different treatments for chronic diarrhea- IBS and IBD. There are so many options for treatment that there simply isn’t enough room here to list a third of them. I am biased, by the many patients I have treated, that it is extremely advisable. I do not shy away from using pharmaceuticals when necessary, but with diarrhea it is rarely necessary. READ MORE

  • How should I prepare my body for a naturopathy detox?

    There is no such thing as a “naturopathic detox treatment.” A naturopathic doctor may prescribe some herbs, supplements, lifestyle and dietary changes to help support your body’s natural detoxification processes. That is the preparation for your body. Make sure that the doctor you are working with has graduated from an accredited naturopathic medical school and carries a license to practice medicine. In the United States, not all states license naturopathic doctors, but the reputable doctors carry a license in another state if they live in a pre-licensed state. READ MORE

  • How can fibromyalgia be treated naturally?

    There are so many natural treatments for fibromyalgia! It does take some trial and error, and sometimes functional testing, to determine the best treatment for an individual with fibromyalgia. The medicine that I practice is not one size fits all for any diagnosis, but tailored to the needs of the person. READ MORE

  • Can naturopathic massages aid in treating depression?

    Massage has been shown to be helpful for depression. Naturopathic medicine has a lot of different treatments available for depression, but one does not need to be a Naturopathic doctor to provide massage. Licensed massage therapists can do that! READ MORE
