Neurvana Naturopathic Medicine

Do you feel rushed through the conventional medical system? 🤔

Are you often left without answers, forcing you to try and w**d through the endless information online? 😣

Unfortunately, this happens all too often. While most practitioners have the best of intentions, traditional medicine tends to take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. As a result, patients feel unheard and are left to suffer through unwanted symptoms.

At Neurvana Naturopathic Medicine, we take a radically different approach called Integrative Care 🌱✨

Integrative Care allows us to approach treatment through a holistic lens. We look at:

🧘 Lifestyle
🧠 Mental health
🥑 Diet

AND we work to make sure you’re getting the emotional support you need.

We then use this information to create an individualized care plan tailored to your unique symptoms, values, and ultimate health goals 💪🏼

With us, you’ll never just be a diagnosis 💙

Interested in learning more? Book a complimentary 30-minute discovery call with us today!

What else can we say aside from thank you! Neurvana Naturopathic Medicine was awarded Best Naturopathic Service in Calgary by the Quality Business Awards! We are honoured to have the hard work of our practitioners recognized and we hope to continue to be the trusted choice when it comes to your health.

Did you know that one of the naturopaths at our office focuses on working with patients with cancer? Follow Dr. Ryan Best, ND if you are interested in learning more about integrative cancer therapies.

Hi, I’m Dr. Ryan Best, a Naturopathic Doctor with a focus on Integrative Cancer Care 🌱

What sets me apart from other practitioners?

First and foremost, I sit down and take the time to help you understand your treatment options.

All too often, patients feel rushed through the traditional cancer care system. The information is confusing, and they’re left with unanswered questions.

I do my best to help my patients make informed decisions without judgment or bias, and I will never discontinue a patient because they don’t want to use conventional therapies.

Ultimately, my goal is to support you in whatever you choose to do, and adapt if your approach changes.

You deserve to have someone on your side 💙

🧠 Concussions are much more than a physical injury. Physical trauma can create chemical imbalances, affecting:

🔹Androgen levels (poor memory and mood swings)
🔹Serotonin and dopamine regulation (irritability, anxiety, and depression)
🔹Immune system molecules (light and sound sensitivities)

Naturopaths in Calgary provide custom concussion therapy that addresses symptoms on a holistic level.

Learn more about our concussion protocol at bit.ly/concussions6

If you’re struggling with a concussion, the symptoms can feel overwhelming.

Concussion-survivor and functional medicine practitioner Corey Deacon has 3 tips to start feeling better:

🔹Focus on your nutrition, limiting sugar & processed foods
🔹Maintain your sleep hygiene & get a sleep assessment
🔹Remember to exercise, even if only for 2-5 minute intervals

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are often confused. They are both thyroid diseases that affect heart rate, muscle weakness, bowel movements, sensitivity to temperature, and more.

However, as many as 50% of individuals with thyroid disease go undiagnosed, according to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada.

If you live with thyroid disease, a naturopathic doctor can help with:

🔹Hormone supplementation
🔹Eliminating environmental factors
🔹Eating habits
🔹And more

Living with symptoms of PANS or PANDAS can be especially difficult because children often don’t know how to explain their symptoms or ask for the help they need.

Many people struggling with Lyme disease aren’t aware they have it. If they never found a bullseye rash on their body, why would they get tested?

💡 It may surprise you to learn that you can get Lyme disease even if you haven’t been bitten by a tick. According to new research, Lyme disease can be sexually transmitted and passed in utero from mother to child.

That’s why it’s important to get tested for Lyme disease if you experience mood problems, short-term memory, trouble concentrating, or joint pain.

➡️ Lyme disease specialist Corey Deacon offers precise testing that checks for Lyme and its 32 co-infections. Learn more at https://neurvanahealth.com/conditions/lyme-disease/

Our staff is committed to making the process as comfortable as possible, which is why reviews like Tara’s are so meaningful to us.

🌧️ Have you been dealing with mystery digestive discomfort for a while?

Without any food allergies, you might feel like you’ve hit a dead end. The truth is that your body can still be sensitive to or intolerant of certain foods. These foods can still cause an immune response over time.

From fatigue, brain fog, and stomach cramps to skin problems, your body may be trying to communicate with you in ways that you may have been overlooking.

The best way to figure out what’s going on is food sensitivity testing. At Neurvana Naturopathic Clinic, we offer highly accurate testing.

Conditions like Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis can be easily confused. Both are autoimmune diseases that can cause:

🔹Fatigue & fever
🔹Bloating & nausea
🔹Diarrhea & cramping

However, Crohn’s disease can affect the entire digestive tract, while ulcerative colitis can only be found in the re**um and large intestine. Understanding the difference is important for managing the symptoms.

💡 IV therapy is a great option for many individuals with chronic illnesses, but it can seem scary if you’re new to it.
