Naturopathic Medicine Consults
Whether we call it preventative, holistic, natural, functional, or integrative medicine, it really boils down to using the most evidence-based natural methods to restore and maintain health. This is a holistic system of medicine, looking at all systems of the body and how they work together.
Nutrition
Food is the foundation of health, and is your best medicine! We’ll work together to evaluate your current diet, and look at what’s working and what isn’t.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a personalized plan for you. There is endless information out there on what to eat, what are ‘good’ foods and ‘bad’ foods. The truth is, that there’s not one diet that works for everyone.
We will discuss what foods are best for your current conditions and health goals. I often rely on lab testing to help tailor the nutrition plan for you.
Lab Testing
I can order all basic blood testing, as well as more functional assessments like urinary hormone testing (DUTCH testing), adrenal testing, and stool testing (GI-MAP test). I often do more in-depth testing than you might have done at your annual physical. This gives us a more comprehensive view of your health, and allows us to have a baseline to measure improvements with our work together.
Common tests I order include: Hormones, Thyroid testing, Adrenal testing, Iron levels, Vitamin D levels, inflammatory markers, and other labs that may be indicated for you. I also do micronutrient testing and food sensitivity testing, among many other options. Additional fees apply for lab costs.
Nutritional Supplements
I often suggest high-quality nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs, other nutrients) to help your body clear symptoms and come back to balance as we work on establishing other aspects of a healthy lifestyle (nutrition, hydration, reducing toxin exposure, sleep, stress reduction, and more).
I can also evaluate your current supplements to ensure you’re getting the most benefit, and to make sure that there are no interactions with your other supplements or medications. The form and dosage of your vitamins and minerals make a huge difference in how effective they are, and I can tailor this to your needs.
Botanical Medicine / Herbal Medicine
Botanical and herbal medicine is the use of plant compounds to prevent and treat illness. We have been using plants as medicine (Botanical Medicine) since early human civilizations existed, and there is evidence of this use as far back as 1500 BC.
Herbs are powerful and work with your body to support healing, vs. medications that can suppress healthy function (Sidenote, I am NOT opposed to medications, there’s a time and place for everything!). There are many different uses and forms of plant medicine, including teas, tinctures, and concentrated extracts in capsule form. In addition, different parts of the same plant may have different effects (for example, the leaf, fruit, or root of the same plant can have different mechanisms of action in the body)
The proper form and dose is important, to achieve the therapeutic effects, and this is customized to you.
Healthy lifestyle guidance
I get that change is difficult, and it won’t happen overnight. I’ll work with you to improve your health habits and provide the accountability needed to make the new habits stick.
This includes guidance on stress reduction, healthy sleep, regular movement / exercise, emotional health, self care practices, and much more. Everyone goes at a different pace, so this can be as gradual as it needs to be. These are not quick fixes, but full shifts in mindset, to allow you to prioritize your health and self-care. Each tiny change is like planting a seed and nourishing that seed with the right conditions to help it thrive.

Follow up Naturopathic Visits
45-90 minutes, $200-275. Virtual visit or phone. Follow up appointments are usually 4-8 weeks after your initial visit, or sooner if needed. At this visit and future follow-ups, we will do an in-depth review of any lab results, review your progress with the initial plan, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Follow up visits after this depend on you, and your current health concerns. We may need to follow up more often in the first 6 months of your care, to monitor your improvements. After your health conditions are more stabilized, it is recommended that you follow up 1-2 times per year, or more often as needed. Schedule a Visit
