Nice explanation on the link but no causation of thyroid medication and cancers. I rarely see a patient present to my office with their Hashimoto's adequately treated. It is the inflammation relationship that puts one at risk for cancer.

Frequent question I get from the Public:
Should I go on a parasite cleanse?

My answer is usually something like this:
Parasite cleanses are all the rage nowadays. I prefer to identify what we are dealing with and treat that specifically. A broad range of harsh antimicrobials can do damage to your microbiome, gut lining and autonomic nervous system. It can takes months to see the fallout so many patients don’t correlate the connection. We have amazing stool testing options nowadays to cast a wide net on figuring out if you have an infection first. I see way more bacterial infections and guy inflammation than parasites. But I do see them and it can be worth screening if you are wondering.

No two patients are the same. '
So why should their treatment plans be?
Individualized care isn't a new concept for naturopathic doctors:
It's been central to how they practice from the very beginning. When you see an ND, your appointment isn't built around a
checklist or a standard protocol. It's built around
YOU.
That means your ND is taking into account the full picture:
Your physical symptoms and health history
Your emotional and mental well being
Your environment and lifestyle
Your genetic predispositions
Your personal health goals and preferences

The result is a treatment plan designed specifically for where you are right now and where you want to be. Not a one-size-fits-
all prescription, but a personalized roadmap to lasting wellness.
At your first visit, you'll spend an hour or more with your ND because truly understanding a person takes time. That investment at the start is what makes everything that follows more
effective.
Healthcare that sees the whole you, and treats you accordingly. That's naturopathic medicine!

Ever wonder if a naturopathic doctor is right for you? Here are some signs the answer might be yes.

✅You're tired of being treated like a diagnosis instead of a person

✅You want an individualized treatment plan built around your life, not a generic protocol

✅You have nagging symptoms like trouble sleeping, chronic pain, skin issues, digestive problems, etc., and nobody has found the cause

✅You want to be an active partner in your own health, not just a passive patient

✅You've tried conventional options and still don't have answers

Naturopathic doctors spend up to an hour or more with you at your first visit. They listen to your full health picture, run comprehensive labs, and build a plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. From allergies and hormonal imbalances to chronic fatigue and digestive issues, NDs treat a wide range of conditions and even work alongside your existing medical team!

Connection and trust is a beautiful thing for healing!

Thank you to the Executive Director of the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) for these inspiring words! !

Did you know that Naturopathic Doctors are the only trained doctor to understand the interactions between food, herbs, medicine. Understanding the mechanisms of action and what works best means a constant eye on the research and continuing education!

The word is spreading about naturopathic medicine! The AANMC was mentioned in the latest Consumer Reports article about natural cures, highlighting the licensure and education for NDs in North America.

While the verdicts they shared about some natural therapies may be debated, we can all agree on one thing: acupuncture works 😉

It's Naturopathic Medicine Week!
This is what we are about!

At the heart of naturopathic medicine are six guiding principles that serve as a foundation of how NDs practice and care for every patient.

🌿 Healing Power of Nature: Your body has an innate ability to heal. NDs work with that intelligence, not against it.

🌿 Identify & Treat the Cause: Symptoms are signals. NDs dig deeper to find and address the root issue.

🌿 First, Do No Harm: The gentlest effective approach, always.

🌿 Doctor as Teacher: Empowering patients with knowledge to take charge of their own health.

🌿 Treat the Whole Person: Body, mind, emotions, environment — all of it matters.

🌿 Prevention: Because the best treatment is the one you never need.

These principles shape every appointment, every treatment plan, every patient relationship. That's what makes naturopathic care different.
