Diet & Nutritional Counselling

Our naturopathic physicians offer individualized dietary and nutritional counselling to help you achieve a healthy, well-balanced diet that is most appropriate for you based on your current state of health. The primary focus is on addressing nutritional deficiencies or imbalances and improving overall quality of food intake. Other goals are to: improve digestive health; identify and remove possible food sensitivities/allergies; incorporate changes to maintain a healthy weight, balance hormones, and manage blood sugar. We also offer a variety of 'therapeutic diets' to help manage specific medical conditions (i.e. IBS, Crohn's/Colitis, Diabetes, etc.)

 

Intravenous (IV) Nutrient Therapy

A generally safe and effective method of rapidly delivering higher doses of essential vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream in order to bypass the digestive process and enhance absorption.  An IV nutrient infusion typically contains a complex of B vitamins (including B5, B6, B12), vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. This service is offered by Dr. Vanessa Yu, ND.

Acupuncture 

A 2,000 year old medicine that originated in China and is still used safely and effectively today throughout the world.   Diagnosis and treatment is done using the principles of Chinese medicine.  Acupuncture, dietary recommendations, and/or an herbal formula may be recommended in order to restore balance in the body. This is a very effective treatment for managing acute and chronic pain, as well as many other acute and chronic health conditions.
