About Me
Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I am a Naturopathic Medical Student at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in Vancouver, British Columbia. Naturopathic Doctors (ND's) are primary care physicians who are trained to diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions and diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, skin conditions, allergies, and more! The goal of the Naturopathic Doctor is to find the root cause of the symptom of which the patient is experiencing and to bring the body back to balance and good health. They utilize modern science and natural medicine to offer a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan, all while emphasizing prevention and using therapies that minimize the risk of harm and side effects. A Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree is a 4-year, full-time, graduate level medical program similar to a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree, and there are currently 7 accredited naturopathic medical schools in North America .
.
I have my Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree with a major in Biology and am passionate about natural, evidence-based medicine, clinical nutrition, and public speaking. On this page, I will be sharing health information, nutritious recipes, facts about naturopathic medicine, and more! I am SO happy to have you along on my journey and I hope to inspire you to live a healthy, happy, and active lifestyle.
Yours in good health,
Emily
