Frequently Asked Questions

How is naturopathic weight loss different from traditional dieting?

We focus on identifying and treating underlying causes of weight gain like hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, and metabolic dysfunction. Rather than restrictive dieting, we create sustainable nutrition plans that work with your body's natural processes.

Do you use prescription medications for weight loss?

As naturopathic doctors, we primarily use natural interventions including herbs, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. If prescription medications are needed, we can refer you to appropriate medical providers while coordinating your overall care.

What kind of testing do you typically recommend?

Common tests include comprehensive metabolic panels, hormone testing, food sensitivity panels, and sometimes specialized tests for digestive function or toxic burden. Testing is customized based on your individual health picture and symptoms.

How long does it take to see results with natural approaches?

Many clients notice improvements in energy and well-being within 2-4 weeks, with weight loss typically beginning after 4-6 weeks. Natural medicine works gradually to create lasting changes rather than quick fixes.

Can you help with weight loss during menopause?

Yes, we specialize in hormone-related weight challenges including menopause. We address hormonal changes, metabolic shifts, and other factors that make weight management more difficult during this life stage.

Do you work with food allergies and sensitivities?

Absolutely, food sensitivities are often overlooked causes of weight struggles and inflammation. We can test for various sensitivities and help you develop an elimination diet or rotation diet that supports both weight loss and overall health.

Is naturopathic treatment safe with other medications?

We carefully review all medications and supplements for interactions and coordinate with your other healthcare providers as needed. Natural doesn't always mean risk-free, so professional oversight is important.

What should I expect during my first appointment?

Your initial visit is typically 60-90 minutes and includes a detailed health history, discussion of your goals, review of any existing lab work, and development of your initial treatment plan. We may also discuss appropriate testing to better understand your individual needs.
