Autoimmune Disorders, Allergies & Food Sensitivities
Allergies are your immune system’s response to what it identifies as a harmful substance. They can be triggered by airborne allergens, foods, insect stings, medications, latex, drug allergies, and other substances. People can experience allergy symptoms at varying severity levels, from mild symptoms such as sneezing and watery eyes to more life-threatening symptoms like anaphylaxis.
A food sensitivity is different from an allergy because the response from the immune system is not immediate. It may take several days before you experience symptoms of a food sensitivity. They can cause uncomfortable symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, migraines, and IBS which can be greatly improved through lifestyle changes.
When someone has an autoimmune disorder, their body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. This increases the person’s likelihood of being prone to infection or disease because they have a weakened immune system.
Our Naturopathic Doctor can work with you to create a tailored plan to identify and treat or manage allergies, determine food sensitivities, or manage your autoimmune disorder.

Skin Conditions & Disorders
Our approach to treating skin conditions and disorders is rooted in healing the body from the inside out. Often, skin conditions are the result of an imbalance in the liver, hormones and/or gastrointestinal tract. It may include issues with your immune system, detoxification pathways, hormones, and/or digestive system. While many treatments focus on improving symptoms topically, our Naturopathic Doctor aims to find the root cause and treat it directly.

Facial Rejuvenation with Acupuncture
Performed by our Naturopathic Doctor, this cosmetic treatment is an extension of traditional acupuncture. Facial rejuvenation acupuncture supports the skin to look younger, smoother, and all-around healthier. The needles stimulate your lymphatic and circulatory system, which delivers nutrients to your skin cells, nourishing the skin from the inside out.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy is a natural way of adding new hormones into the body, also known as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). It is typically used as people age and hormone levels drop, particularly for women who are in perimenopause or menopause. It’s used to increase the levels of the hormones that have dropped and improve moderate to severe menopause symptoms. It is only available through a prescription, and the type, combination and dosage is designed specifically for the needs of each patient.

Functional Lab Testing

Functional lab tests are an excellent tool because they can give you a more specific and thorough understanding of your health to help treat the root cause of the issues you’re experiencing.
Food Sensitivity Testing (FST) is commonly performed at HealthOne Wellness by our Naturopathic Doctor. FST is a blood test that analyses the reaction of your blood to specific foods. The results will allow you to eliminate specific foods that may be creating inflammation in your body.

Modes of Treatment
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine uses specific plants to prevent or treat disease. It is a powerful yet gentle form of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years.
Plants have unique medicinal properties that can benefit our organs and re-establish balance in the body. Naturopathic Doctors can use botanical medicine to treat the root cause of many health conditions.
Tinctures, herbal teas, powdered capsules, and tablets are all forms of botanical medicine. Naturopathic doctors are extensively trained in using botanicals as an effective way to treat specific health conditions.

Dietary Counselling
Naturopathic medicine believes that food can be used as a form of medicine to bring balance to the body. Eating a well-balanced diet that emphasizes unrefined, unprocessed and locally grown foods can help us achieve optimal health and well-being.
In North America, our diets have become increasingly processed, which is leading to an obesity epidemic as well as numerous chronic health conditions. Our Naturopathic Doctor is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nutritionally based conditions and gastro-intestinal disorders. She can provide dietary recommendations and individualized treatments to improve your health.

Supplement Guidance
Naturopathic Doctors are experts in nutritional supplementation. They can prescribe dietary supplements to help optimize health and wellness, restore balance to the body, and manage chronic conditions. Naturopathic Doctors can also ensure there are no interactions that exist between your current medication and/or supplement plan.
Dietary supplements come in the form of pills, capsules, powders, gel tabs, extracts, or liquids. They can contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids, herbs or other plants, or enzymes.
Supplementation may help provide the essential nutrients for healthy functioning, prevent nutritional deficiencies, or lower your risk of health problems. The combination of some supplements and herbal products may also help lower the required dose of some prescription medications. At HealthOne we are also able to create personalized supplementation depending on your needs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient practice that has been used in China for thousands of years. It is a natural wellness approach that often includes supporting the flow of energy (also referred to as qi) throughout the body and restoring balance between the Yin and Yang.
TCM is practiced by both our Naturopathic Doctor and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner at HealthOne. The types of treatment used include Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture (including the use of ordinary needles, leather needles, triangular needles, blood collection needles, fire needles, knife needles, plum blossom needles, etc.), Moxibustion, BIAN energy stone, cupping, and Tuina.

Lifestyle Counselling
Our Naturopathic Doctor practices lifestyle counseling on topics including nutrition, sleep, stress management, and physical activity. Lifestyle counseling helps clients make healthier choices and better decisions when it comes to managing their health. Many of us know how to live healthy lives, but struggle with consistent implementation. Numerous studies show that ongoing healthy lifestyle counseling can help bridge this gap and create positive change.
Common topics addressed in lifestyle counseling with our Naturopathic Doctor include:
Nutrition: Nutrition topics include gut health, skin concerns, adequate protein and fiber intake, as well as chronic disease management.
Sleep: Sleep hygiene and techniques to get a quality night sleep are an important foundation of healthy living.
Stress Management: Chronically elevated cortisol levels in the body due to stress can lead to inflammation, weight gain, increased blood pressure, and lowered immunity.
Physical Activity: Movement and exercise can help you improve heart function and circulation, as well as support healthy blood sugar levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Traditional Naturopath and a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor?
All classifications of Naturopathic Doctors aim to help heal the body through natural and alterative practices including botanical medicine and food. However, in Ontario there are different classifications of Naturopaths, with varying education, scope of practice, and regulatory status. In Ontario, the titles “Traditional Naturopath” and “Naturopathic Doctor” are not interchangeable.
A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is a member of The College of Naturopaths of Ontario. All licensed NDs complete a minimum of three years of university-level training, including pre-medical courses, then four years at an accredited Naturopathic medical college.
ND, Naturopathic Doctor and Naturopath are protected titles in Ontario. This means that only people who have demonstrated the education and qualification to practice, can use the title.

How does natural medicine differ from allopathic or conventional medicine?
One of our most innovative care features at HealthOne Medical & Wellness is that we have conventional Medical Doctors and Naturopathic Doctors working together. We view natural medicine as an addition to conventional medical care, rather than an alternative. By seeing your General Physician alongside your Naturopathic Doctor, you are getting the most advanced, well-rounded combination of health care available.
Naturopathic Doctors provide health care to people of all ages, focusing on the use of natural therapies to support and stimulate healing. They focus on disease prevention and wellness promotion and provide management strategies for most chronic health conditions.
The key differentiators of Naturopathic Doctors from the primary health care model in Ontario include looking at the body as one integrated system, spending more time with patients, and providing natural treatments.
Our HealthOne Naturopathic treatment is centered on botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, dietary counselling, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and lifestyle counselling. We also offer B12 injections, Vitamin D injections, facial rejuvenation acupuncture and a wide range of comprehensive lab testing depending on your specific health concerns.

What does a naturopathic doctor do?
A Naturopathic doctor will seek to understand how all areas of your life may be contributing to your presenting health problems. This may include things like diet, sleep, stress, hormone levels, environment, and more. Then, they will develop a customized treatment plan aimed at treating the root cause of your symptoms. This may include things like diet and lifestyle changes, testing (I.e., hormone test, stool test, food sensitivity test), acupuncture, cupping, or natural remedies.
