Yes, we offer nutrition advice via our naturopathic physicians at The Wellhouse too! Naturopathy recognizes the integration of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle and their combined impact on health, making it a perfect fit for our integrated wellness approach. Naturopathy is a combination of traditional health care modalities, remedies, and practices that contribute to your overall well being. These healing modalities can benefit and heal specific conditions, as well as prevent illnesses. A naturopath has an extensive knowledge of nutrition and understands how the body benefits from foods. In contrast to conventional medical treatments, a naturopath will look to nature and how the body responds naturally to a given compound to introduce treatments that promote the body’s natural ability to heal. A naturopath looks at a person’s health from a holistic view point to a wide range of things into consideration such as diet, lifestyle, stressors, activity levels, engagement, enjoyments, and expression into consideration. Treatment recommendations that affect the balance of these factors can include:
- Dietary additions or restrictions
- Detoxification therapies
- Lifestyle changes to reduce stressors
- Counselling therapy
- Physical activity or specific exercises
- Herbal and dietary supplements
