Services Overview

It depends on your coverage plan. Most insurance plans cover at least a percentage of naturopathic appointments. Your coverage may be under "perimenical" or "naturopathy" if you don't see "naturopathic doctor" or "naturopath".

Naturopathic Medicine is complementary to an integrative medical system. A patient should not see an ND as an alternative to their family physician, gynaecologist, physiotherapist, chiropractor, psychologist etc. Rather, an ND should be part of an inclusive health team in order to optimize health and fight disease.

Treatment plans usually start with individualized lifestyle changes guided by patient history, comprehensive lab testing, and health goals. Common treatments focus on nutrition, movement, stress management, individualized supplementation and lifestyle counselling.

Naturopathic Doctors undergo four years of rigorous medical training at an accredited Naturopathic Medical School which requires a four-year pre-medical post-secondary education. During the four years at an accredited College of Naturopathic Medicine, students are required to take over 3000 hours of classroom training and gain over 1200 hours of supervised clinical experience.
