As an ND, I employ a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on natural remedies, lifestyle modifications, and preventive measures. Here’s a list of the most common conditions I treat (its a big list, so you might want to use my search function to find your specific concern):
- Digestive Disorders: Including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), acid reflux, constipation, and food sensitivities.
- Menopause Support: Comprehensive care for women experiencing menopause, addressing the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes associated with this stage. I see a lot of women who’ve been to their GP, and haven’t been happy with what they’ve been offered. My preferred approach is to test hormones, then treat them. Most commonly we work on reducing symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, and decreased libido. I’m able to prescribe Bio-Identical Hormones, which is a form of treatment many women seek.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Such as heavy periods, painful periods, irregular periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and cortisol dysregulation.
- Chronic Fatigue and Low Energy: Addressing underlying causes like nutrient deficiencies, chronic infections, adrenal dysfunction, or sleep disturbances.
- Allergies and Asthma: Providing natural remedies to reduce symptoms and modify the immune system’s response to allergens.
- Autoimmune Conditions: Balancing the immune system, managing inflammation, and addressing underlying triggers for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
- Anxiety and Depression: Implementing natural therapies to support mental health, including counseling, stress management techniques, and herbal remedies.
- Skin Conditions: Treating eczema, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and other dermatological conditions using natural approaches such as diet modifications, botanical medicine, red light therapy, and holistic facials.
- Chronic Pain: Using modalities like acupuncture, physical therapies, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments to alleviate pain caused by conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or migraines.
- Cardiovascular Health: Addressing risk factors for heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and providing strategies for prevention, lifestyle modifications, and stress reduction.
- Weight Management: Offering personalized diet instructions (based on testing), exercise recommendations, and addressing underlying metabolic imbalances or hormonal issues in order to achieve an ideal, healthier you.
- Insomnia and Sleep Disorders: Identifying the causes of sleep disturbances and providing natural interventions such as sleep hygiene education, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments.
- Detoxification and Cleansing: Assisting the body’s natural detoxification pathways to eliminate toxins, heavy metals, parasites, candida, and supporting organ function (if you already know me, you know how much I love the liver!).
- Diabetes Management: Integrating lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and supportive supplements to help regulate blood sugar levels.
- Children’s Health: Addressing common childhood ailments such as allergies, eczema, digestive disorders, and supporting overall growth and development.
- General Wellness and Prevention: What can you do to stay healthy? Here I promote optimal health by emphasizing preventive measures, healthy lifestyle choices, and provide very individualized health plans, even when there is no specific diagnosis.
