Heal with Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic Medicine is Nature Cure at its finest… pure air, pure water, pure food, pure thoughts, pure emotions, pure spirit, pure living. Giving the body and soul what it needs to thrive and function optimally, will allow innate healing processes and prevention of disease.

The Philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine is founded on our body’s innate wisdom and views symptoms as the body communicating its needs and attempting to heal. Naturopaths believe supporting the body in this attempt, versus suppressing the symptoms, allows innate healing to transpire. NDs remove the obstacles to cure, feed the body, mind and soul with living food and look for the root cause of an illness, instead of quick fixes, ignoring symptoms.

Naturopathic Medicine has 6 Philosophical Principles its Practitioners Follow:

1. First Do No Harm

2. The Healing Power of Nature

3. Identify and Treat the Cause

4. Doctor as Teacher

5. Treat the Whole Person

6. Prevention

What to Expect… A Naturopathic Experience.

Your initial Naturopathic Consultation includes a deep dive into your current diagnosis or symptoms, your medical and family history, your lifestyle and recent labs or testing you’ve received. Our Naturopathic Doctors (ND) will study your case prior to your visit, so your consultation time is spent on the most relevant areas. This visit includes 60 minutes face to face with your ND.

Following the appointment, you will receive a detailed recap via email of your visit, including recommendations made. While we carry some supplements in our office, you will receive access to our Nutraceutical Portal where your personalized recommendations can be ordered and delivered straight to your door. All recommended supplements are vetted by our doctors and third party tested for their purity, potency and ingredient content.

Please complete the Intake Forms and return them at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled visit by emailing info@advanceyourhealth.com. Include any recent labs, bloodwork, pathology reports, scans or medical documentation you have received within the past 12 months.

Follow Up Appointments are available in 30 or 45 minute increments, depending on the complexity of your case. Your Naturopathic Doctor will determine the need, frequency and duration of future visits.
