Clinical Nutrition
As a naturopathic physician, I support the belief that what you eat is foundational to your health. Adopting a healthy diet is often the first step towards correcting health problems. Many medical conditions can be treated more effectively with foods and nutritional supplements than they can by other means, and with fewer complications and side effects. I use specific individualized diets and nutritional supplements to help restore optimal functioning, on a cellular level, to my patients' health.
Botanical Medicine
Plants have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal properties and many pharmaceutical drugs have their origins in plant substances. I use many herbal formulas for their safe and powerful healing effects.
Homeopathic Medicine
This gentle yet effective system of medicine is more than 200 years old and is based on the principle that "like cures like". Homeopathic medicines are very small doses of natural substances (from plants, animals, minerals, etc.) that can stimulate the body's self-healing response without side effects. I use homeopathy for acute conditions, such as colds and flu, and constitutionally, for more chronic problems.
Detoxification
In the world that we live in it is difficult to avoid pollutants and substances which burden our bodies and overwhelm our natural detoxification pathways. I employ detoxification diets and supplementation to promote detoxification for general cleansing and to eliminate heavy metal/environmental toxicities.
