NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE IN ONTARIO

Naturopathic medicine is precisely how it sounds: a take on medicine and wellness from a natural perspective. Naturopathic doctors are thoroughly trained in the body’s systems, and even more so, how the body produces molecules, how the (female) body changes over time, and how the body communicates health and disease to us. This is why naturopathic doctors truly understand how to give the body what it needs, without introducing chemicals that might bring on a host of side effects and unwanted changes.

The team we put together here at Femade are a group of passionate professionals who understand that the female body is complex, beautiful and unique. That is why both Dr. Amira and Dr. Burns have dedicated their practices to fully appreciating the varying needs of women as they grow, as they mature, and as they may develop diseases that disproportionately affect women. That knowledge and understanding is what helps them help you, in a way that fits your lifestyle and aligns with your goals.

Some reasons why you might seek a naturopathic doctor:

You are tired of using pharmaceuticals, or looking to add some healthy options to your lifestyle

You need more control over your hormones and how it is affecting your body.

You need to get a handle on some of these unwanted gut symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation, bloating, flatulence, and unpredictable patterns.

You are eager to lose weight and want some nutritional and lifestyle advice

You’re tired - tired of searching for answers and tired of advocating for yourself.

“Sometimes what brings you to a naturopathic doctor is your flair for the natural. Other times you’re at the end of the road and need a different perspective and some new tools. Whatever the case may be, you’re in good hands. ”

How Naturopathic Medicine can help your lifestyle

Adolescence

Adolescence marks a significant transition for young women, especially with the onset of menarche. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) support this journey by helping manage PMS, irregular periods, and providing education on contraceptive options and sexually transmitted diseases. Their holistic approach empowers young women to make informed choices about their reproductive health.

Reproductive Years / Family planning

During their reproductive years, women may face various challenges, including pregnancy, fertility issues, and conditions like endometriosis and PCOS. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) provide essential support by offering personalized care, holistic treatment options, and guidance tailored to each woman's needs. This comprehensive approach empowers women to navigate their reproductive health more effectively.

Climacteric Phase / Perimenopause

In the climacteric phase, naturopathic doctors (NDs) support women through perimenopause to enhance their quality of life. They provide guidance and treatment options to manage symptoms effectively, ensuring that no woman has to suffer through this transition. With the right support, women can navigate this phase with confidence and comfort.

Post-Climacteric / Post Menopause

In the post-climacteric phase, naturopathic doctors (NDs) support women as they adjust to life changes and address health concerns like osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. They focus on promoting healthy aging through tailored wellness strategies and preventive care. This holistic support empowers women to maintain their vitality and well-being during this stage of life.

Chronic Illness and AutoImmune Disease

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) act as private investigators for patients with autoimmune and chronic conditions like Hashimoto's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. They take a comprehensive approach to assess and drill down on these complex issues, delving into underlying factors to develop personalized treatment plans. This thorough care helps patients manage their conditions more effectively and improve their overall health.

Gut health and the Microbiome

Gut health is crucial for overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being, with the microbiome playing a central role. For those diagnosed with conditions like Crohn's disease, colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome, naturopathic doctors (NDs) offer tailored solutions to restore balance and improve quality of life. Their holistic approach helps individuals manage symptoms and regain confidence in their daily activities.
