Why I became a Naturopathic Doctor?
As a young mother I felt disempowered by the conventional treatment offered to my oldest son for recurrent ear infections. I felt there had to be an alternative approach to simply prescribing multiple rounds of antibiotics. That experience and search for options lead me to discover naturopathic medicine and the approach of addressing the root cause of illness rather than only masking symptoms. I appreciate the time I can take as a naturopath to dive deep into lifestyle, personal history and testing and to create personalized treatment plans.
What conditions do I love to treat?
It’s hard for me to choose because so many conditions benefit from a root cause approach, but here are a few of my favorites:
- Gut health was my first love as a naturopath and I continue to be passionate about helping patients improve their overall health by addressing inflammation and imbalances in the gut that can manifest in conditions like GERD, SIBO/IMO, IBS and IBS.
- I love helping women navigate perimenopause and the many potential associated symptoms, including insomnia, anxiety, joint pain, brain fog and hot flashes.
- I am also passionate about helping empower women to optimize their health postmenopausally and reduce their risk of osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and dementia.
- I enjoy helping people uncover and address insulin resistance and prediabetes which are quite common and contribute to many chronic inflammatory conditions.
- I find it very rewarding to be able to help patients address mental health and attention disorders from a holistic perspective that screens for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, gut inflammation and social and environmental factors.
