Nutrition
Naturopathic doctors are experts in nutrition. In fact, I always ask about about diet and digestion for all my naturopathic patients.
Many of us find that figuring out what to eat is confusing. There are so many different diets out there: vegetarian, vegan, macrobiotic, raw food, Blood Type, Paleo, GAPS, etc. I will help you come up with a food plan that suits your beliefs without compromising nutrition. I believe that there is no single diet that suits everyone. Ultimately I promote:
whole, non-processed foods
colorful fruits & vegetables, preferably organic
low refined (and unrefined) sugars
sustainable seafood that is low in toxicity
pasture-raised, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, if you eat meat
I help my patients navigate labels and figure out what they should and should not be eating according to each individual's situation.
