Did you know? Most of the time Iโm a naturopathic doctor, but sometimes I also side hustle as a detective.
At least, thatโs what it can feel like when Iโm helping a patient find the solution to a condition thatโs been bothering them for a long while.
They may even have gone to their doctor, tried a few tests. But they havenโt found the true cause.
I am dedicated to finding the root cause.
Take IBS, irritable bowel syndrome. Itโs one of the conditions that I treat regularly. The problem is that it shows up differently in different patients. Symptoms can include everything from cramping to stomach pain to gas, diarrhea and constipation. Patients can get used to putting up with it and managing the symptoms.
But sometimes, finding the root cause can make a BIG difference.
Thatโs why, in my practice, I take a full 75 minutes to do an intake. I find out all about you: your lifestyle, your diet, your stresses. Traditional doctors donโt usually go to this much depth.
Then I take a stepwise approach to figuring out the problem. I create a meal plan, sometimes where we eliminate foods to see if they might be having an effect. I consider food sensitivities, and whether itโs worth testing you for that. I test for conditions like Celiac disease (an intolerance to gluten) and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) as top candidates. We can even test for parasites and bacteria.
Because I see so much of conditions like IBS, I know which factors can be prime suspects in my investigation.
But I also treat each patient individually, coming up with a personalized plan.
When we find the root cause, it can mean the end of coping. Of pushing symptoms aside as something you live with.
Itโs worth trying for anyone with IBS, or any other chronic conditions that are bringing you down. Contact me today for a discovery call.
