Our Naturopathic Medical Services

In order to discern what are the root causes for your symptom or disease, we utilize a variety of conventional lab tests to appropriately evaluate cholesterol, thyroid levels, cardiovascular health, cancer screening, hormone balance, vitamin D levels, and more. When necessary we can order all the standard imaging studies including X-rays, Ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, and Bone Mineral Density evaluation for you. In addition to conventional lab testing, we also utilize a variety of specialized labs to evaluate functional disorders that are often misdiagnosed or left untreated. Some examples include digestive analysis, adrenal function, food allergy and heavy metal testing.

A key component of good health is being aware of your risk for certain diseases and screening appropriately to prevent progression of disease. For men, conditions like heart disease and prostate cancer commonly have no symptoms and can go undiagnosed during early stages of disease. We encourage all of our male patients to have individualized annual exams that take into account your family history, dietary habits, health history and other risk factors that put you at risk for disease. While you are here we can also address any other health concerns you may want to discuss.

As you have heard before, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For women, starting at 21 years old, it is recommended that they receive annual well woman exams including clinical breast exams and pap smears to screen for breast and cervical cancer. Our doctors will make this experience as comfortable as possible for you and keep you well-informed on the most current recommendations.

With today’s high stress on-the-go lifestyle, there is a heavy burden put on our endocrine system. In addition, plastics, pesticides, and heavy metals have a tendency to accumulate in our hormone producing glands and influence hormone production. These and other factors contribute to a large percentage of people having problems with their hormone balance. We use the safest and most effective approach towards helping you achieve balance within your entire endocrine system using approaches such as:
• lifestyle modification
• nutrition
• reduction of environmental toxin exposure
• herbal medicine
• bioidentical hormone replacement

Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to cure all sorts of conditions from asthma and allergies to heart disease and cancer. Because botanical medicine utilizes whole plants in their natural form rather than isolates made in a lab like pharmaceuticals, they have a variety of synergistic effects on the body. Thanks to this, they are usually gentler and better tolerated with fewer side effects than pharmaceutical drugs. They are also very useful for transitioning people off of pharmaceuticals when necessary. We maintain an herbal medicinary in our clinic and frequently make up botanical tinctures individualized for our patients’ needs.
