Be The Healthiest You Can Be

We are very pleased to provide the First Line Therapy (FLT) Program and The Healthy Transformations Programs, both comprehensive lifestyle programs that we can utilize to help patients address weight and lifestyle related health complaints. Leading health organizations now recommend therapeutic lifestyle changes and lifestyle medicine as the "first line of therapy" for treating and reducing the risk of common conditions such as obesity, PCOS, high cholesterol, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, inflammatory conditions and accelerated aging.

Lifestyle changes may also benefit  conditions such as:

• Fatigue
• Hormone imbalances
• Stress
• Obesity
• Cardiovascular conditions, and diabetes
  

Our Naturopathic Doctors work with patients utilizing lifestyle therapies including clinical nutrition, menu planning, exercise programs, stress counselling/treatment and bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) testing. A BIA test provides information on your body composition including fat mass, lean body mass, cellular hydration, phase angle, basal metabolic rate and BMI. Our doctors then provide you with an individualized program to address your unique needs. We also offer dietary supplementation, acupuncture, and botanical medicines to assist you with your progress when clinically needed.
