Digestive Health Program

As a naturopathic doctor, I help people with digestive challenges like abdominal bloating, pain, and inconsistent bowel movements expand their diet and improve their fears of foods without using restrictive diets and a million supplements. I do this in my clinical in-person and virtual one-on-one support and by offering free and paid webinars to the public.

Program design

The Digestive Health Program is designed to address both the symptoms and cause of your digestive distress and involves the assessment, testing, and treatment of your chief complaints.

With inflammation and dysbiosis at the root of many chronic digestive conditions, treatment protocols for this program take an evidenced-based, non-BS approach that promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and reduction or normalization of symptoms. The goal is to bring your digestion and life back into balance so you can feel like yourself again.

We know patients are most successful when they have regular touchpoints. Appointments take place once a month for 3 months, followed by short, quarterly appointments. In these appointments, we outline your goals and concerns, discuss your treatment plan such as dietary modifications and supplementation, requisition any indicated blood or stool testing, and anticipate and strategize ways to overcome obstacles.

What to expect

Working on your digestion can feel uncomfortable and new. This is completely normal. Patients can expect us to work together on making incremental changes to their health and also to not be put on useless supplements and unnecessary diets.

All treatment plan recommendations are supported by research, and patients are educated on how long it should take to see improvements in their health, alternate approaches and strategies to address their concerns, and how their treatment plan fits within conventional medical guidelines and standards of care.

Note: Appointment fees are covered by most extended health benefits plans.
