Dr. Pamela Smith, ND ~ The Nest Cloverdale Integrative Health ~
~ Nectar Naturopathic ~
I am currently accepting new patients in Kelowna & Surrey BC

Leading a balanced lifestyle can be tricky these days. I strive to help my patients incorporate healthy strategies that work within their busy schedules.

~ About Me ~
Over the past ten years, I have been fortunate to volunteer with many medical organizations in many countries including Eastern Europe, Central America, and India. These experiences gave me a better understanding of healthcare and living conditions around the world. They also deepened my understanding of the value and power treating the cause of disease has and how far compassion and empathy go to assisting patients with their journey back to health. As a naturopathic doctor (ND), I am a primary care provider able to empower you and your family on your journey to optimal health. As your ND, I can assist you to optimize your health and provide education on how to obtain more energy, decrease chronic pain, and age gracefully. My goal as your practitioner is to provide support and compassion to all situations and to meet you where you are with your health.

Iron deficiency in pregnancy is so common especially in the 2nd & 3rd trimester when baby’s needs are highest and with hemodilution. Low iron can leave you feeling exhausted, short of breath, foggy, and just not yourself.

I recently experienced this firsthand—my iron dropped recently in pregnancy and I decided to support my body with an iron IV. The difference was incredible. Within days I felt more energy, clearer thinking, and a noticeable lift in how my body was coping with the demands of the 3rd trimester.

IV iron can be a game-changer when oral iron isn’t enough, isn’t tolerated, or when symptoms are affecting your quality of life. It works quickly, bypasses the gut (so no constipation or nausea), and helps restore iron stores efficiently for both mom and baby.

If you’re in pregnancy and wondering about your iron levels, know that you don’t have to struggle through feeling depleted. Testing and individualized support can make such a difference.

Did you know that your gut health plays a major role in everything from digestion and immunity to mood and energy?

Functional stool testing is one of the most comprehensive ways we can assess what’s really going on in your gut. Here’s what it includes:

PCR & Culture-Based Testing
Advanced testing to identify bacteria, parasites, and viruses—even ones that don’t show up on standard labs.

Functional Markers Assessed
This isn’t just about “what bug you’ve got.” It also looks at:
✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Enzyme function
✔️ Short-chain fatty acid levels
✔️ Immune response (secretory IgA)
✔️ Yeast and fungal overgrowth
✔️ Microbiome balance

Why It Matters
Symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, skin issues (such as eczema in children), and even brain fog can often be traced back to imbalances or pathogens in the gut.

What If Something’s Found?
We don’t just test—we treat. Based on your results, we can create a targeted plan using:
- Herbal antimicrobials
- Diet & lifestyle support
- Probiotics & gut repair
- Prescription medications if needed



Your gut is the gateway to your overall health. Let’s get to the root cause—so you can feel your best from the inside out.

Neuromodulators (Botox, Xeomin, Nuceiva, Dysport) are an established second-line treatment for excessive sweating (focal hyperhidrosis), particularly when topical therapies have failed or are not tolerated.
Candidates for this therapy are typically adults with severe, focal, primary hyperhidrosis that significantly impairs daily activities and quality of life.
Benefits:
- Rapid and significant reduction in sweat production (often within one week)
- Effect typically lasts 4–6 months
- Patient satisfaction is generally high and repeated treatments are well tolerated
- Covered by some extent health insurance

Risks are generally mild and transient. The most common adverse effects are injection site pain and, rarely, compensatory or transient sweating.

Environmental Scratch Testing
Sneezing, itchy eyes, frequent nasal congestion, or skin flare-ups? These symptoms can sometimes be signs of environmental allergies — and the first step to relief is understanding the cause.

What is Environmental Scratch Testing?
This in-office test introduces small amounts of common environmental allergens (like dust mites, pollens, molds, and pet dander) just under the skin using tiny, gentle pricks — no needles required! We then observe for small, hive-like reactions that indicate sensitivities.

Is it safe for kids?
Yes! The testing is quick, well-tolerated (even by little ones), and provides immediate results — making it a great tool for children who are experiencing symptoms like seasonal allergies, eczema flares, or asthma triggers.

Why it’s helpful:
• Pinpoints specific allergens affecting you or your child
• Guides effective treatment plans (including natural and conventional options)
• Helps you make informed decisions about home and school environments
• Reduces unnecessary medications by targeting the root issue

If you or your child is dealing with persistent allergy symptoms, scratch testing could be the key to helping them breathe, sleep, and feel better.

Book an appointment if it’s right for you or your child!

As a naturopathic doctor, I have given plenty of advice on nutrition—but now, as a parent sending a kindergartener to school for the first time this year, I really get the lunchbox struggle! If you have a picky eater, you’re not alone. Here are some tips that have helped us.

What are your go-to lunch ideas for picky eaters? We’d love to hear them!

The BC government and PharmaNet will becovering **Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)**, a major victory for women across the province.

As someone who counsels women on BHRT / MHT every day in my naturopathic practice, I see firsthand the life-changing benefits this therapy provides—helping women manage menopause, regain balance, and improve their overall quality of life.

This support means more women can access the care they need, removing financial barriers to better health. I’m here to help you navigate your HRT journey with personalized, compassionate care. 💖

Celebrating a Decade of Naturopathic Medicine with an update!

10 years ago, I proudly graduated from naturopathic medical school, embarking on incredible journey in a truly amazing profession.

Thank you to all of my amazing patients for trusting me with your health and well-being. Your resilience, stories, and progress inspire me daily. It’s been an absolute honor to be part of your healing journey.

As many of you already know, I’ve made the decision to start a new journey, going mostly virtual, starting this July. This decision has been made to accommodate both your needs and current circumstances. Rest assured, although our interactions will be virtual, the quality of care and attention you receive will remain unchanged.
For patients who require physical treatments, The Nest still has three exceptional doctors who will be available at the clinic. I will be working closely with them to ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I look forward to continuing our journey together whether virtually or in person.

Sincerely,
Dr Pam
