How to recognize a qualified naturopathic doctor

A naturopathic doctor is a regulated medical professional that focuses on the root cause of health concerns. Individualized treatment plans are created with the goal to restore health, increase health and maintain health. Interactions between body systems and the body as a whole are considered. These medical professionals take time to get to know you as a whole person and how you interact with your environment and with this recognize factors that influence health and complex chronic illness such as lifestyle, genetics, environmental impact and health of the microbiome. Responsibility for your health is shared in a patient-practitioner therapeutic partnership. You know you have a good fit when you feel safe and empowered by the interaction.

Principles of naturopathic medicine:

First, to do no harm.

To co-operate with the healing powers of nature.

To address the fundamental causes of disease.

To heal the whole person through individualized treatment.

To teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine.

Your intake and initial assessment will include a diverse set of questions that may explore many factors in your health such as:

• Lifestyle: Diet, activity level, sleep hygiene, work life, hobbies and stressors.

• Genetics: Including your family history of physical and mental conditions.

• Environment: Including your exposure to toxins and allergens.

• Microbiome: the bacteria living on and in your body

There are seven major energy centres that align with physical organs in your body.

• Peel back the layers to find the root cause of many chronic health issues

• Cooperate with the healing powers of nature

• Wake up the waves of beneficial bio rhythms

• Be inspired to cleanse and clear at every level

Through the Root to Crown program you will move through seven different energy centres and you will discover ways to remove blocks physically, emotionally, cognitively and spiritually.

Founded from a very grounded medical practice predicated on analyzing your blood for hormone levels, vitamin levels, all the other things that have a solution for your constitution. We aim to inspire your health at the cellular level. And we're using science for that.

In addition to using biology, we're also using the science of energy healing, to look at each of your energy centers, the vital organs that are that correspond to that energy center, then if they're out of alignment, if they're energetically imbalanced, that's going to show up as physiologically and we're going to go through and inspire ways to clear blocks, energetically.

Dr Laura Brown has out done herself with her masterpiece examining the balance of the art and science of all things digestive-related. She uses easy to understand language and breaks down complicated concepts showing how everything is connected in the human body and begins in the gut.

Dr. Browns book is super informative for anyone wanting to learn more about nutrition and how it affects the digestive system. Her way of writing is easy to understand but yet still being scientific enough for you to learn. Although I don’t suffer from any digestive issues myself, I’m always wanting to learn more about the way our body is and how to fuel it with nutritious things. Her holistic approach to wellness is something I greatly admire and try to incorporate into my own life.
Have been recommending this book to all my friends!

Dr. Brown’s book is an excellent resource to understanding digestive health and embarking on a journey towards a healthy lifestyle. She does an incredible job at sharing her vast knowledge and expertise in an easy-to-digest (no pun intended!) manner by taking us through the journey of real-life individuals, making it relatable, approachable and comprehensive. While I don’t suffer from any digestive issues (that I know of), it has shifted my mindset to enable myself to take a healthier approach to how I manage my food, sleep and stress. It’s a fantastic resource to have on the shelf or bedside table to reference!
