Services
Naturopathic Oncology
Our naturopathic oncology services provide complementary support for cancer patients through evidence-based natural therapies. We specialize in treatment protocols that enhance conventional care without interfering with chemotherapy effectiveness. Our approach includes IV therapy, nutritional support, and targeted supplementation to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life while managing side effects of conventional treatments.
IV Therapy
Customized IV therapy delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. We use this method to address chronic fatigue, immune support, and specific treatment protocols for conditions like Lyme disease and cancer care. Each IV formulation is tailored to individual patient needs based on comprehensive diagnostic testing and clinical assessment.
Digestive Health
Our digestive health program addresses conditions like IBS, SIBO, and inflammatory bowel disorders through functional medicine approaches. We utilize advanced testing including GI-MAP analysis and food sensitivity panels to create personalized treatment plans combining dietary modifications, botanical medicine, and targeted supplementation for long-term gut health improvement.
Hormone Balancing
Our hormone balancing services address thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, and reproductive hormone imbalances through comprehensive testing and natural interventions. We use salivary and blood testing to identify imbalances and develop personalized treatment plans incorporating bioidentical hormones, nutritional support, and lifestyle modifications to restore optimal hormonal function.
Genetic Testing
We offer specialized genetic testing for methylation defects and detoxification pathways to identify underlying factors affecting chronic health conditions. This testing helps us develop personalized treatment protocols addressing genetic predispositions that may contribute to chronic fatigue, cardiovascular risk, and neurological conditions through targeted nutritional support and lifestyle modifications.
