6 Benefits of Naturopathic Medicine

There are many benefits to working with a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and even more benefits of naturopathic medicine. Whether you are looking for general wellness advice or support while working through chronic health concerns, a licensed naturopathic doctor from our team can provide support by recommending individualized lifestyle, nutrition, and natural therapies. The main benefits of naturopathy flow from the guiding principles of naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic approaches that treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms. This system of medicine can help improve your overall health and well-being by incorporating natural treatments and lifestyle changes.Here Are The Naturopathic Medicine Benefits. 1. First to Do No Harm: A naturopath will use the least invasive and least toxic therapies to gently guide you back to wellness. There are circumstances (injury and illness) where stronger medicine is required; NDs are trained to assess and refer for treatments outside their scope of practice. By incorporating naturopathic medicine, you benefit from natural remedies that support your body’s natural ability to heal. This approach contrasts with conventional medicine, which often relies on more aggressive treatments.Benefit: You will receive non-invasive therapies with fewer side effects. 2. Maximize the Healing Wisdom of Nature: The nature of biology is to be self-healing and self-correcting. Many of the body’s innate mechanisms for healing (pain, inflammation, redness, and heat) are signs that the body is attempting to regenerate. An ND from our professional team will look for these signs and work with the body to promote healing where possible with lifestyle recommendations and natural therapies. It is important to understand that these recommendations and naturopathic medicine advantages are designed to support your body’s capacity to heal. This means that while the [...]

Natural Ways to Help You Sleep with Naturopathic Medicine

Understanding Sleep Problems and Natural SolutionsStruggling with sleep? Natural ways to help you sleep can vary widely. Many adults find their sleep duration decreases with age — from an average of seven hours in early adulthood to about six hours for those over 80. Natural sleep aids and remedies, such as establishing better sleep habits or using herbal sleep aids, may offer relief without the need for prescription sleep medications. Addressing sleep problems early with natural treatment for sleeplessness can prevent long-term sleep disorders.Disrupted sleep may involve:Difficulty falling asleepDifficulty staying asleepFrequent wakingConsistently getting less than 6 hours per nightNon-restorative sleep (waking tired)Naturopathic medicine has several tools used to support sleep, but the most effective types will differ depending on the individual. A naturopathic doctor will consider the following factors when addressing sleep disturbance:Lifestyle & Sleep HygieneUnderlying Medical ConditionsNutritionSupplementationAcupunctureLifestyle & Sleep Hygiene for Improving Sleep QualityMaintaining a physically active lifestyle is a cornerstone of good sleep hygiene. Exercise not only helps you fall asleep faster but also improves the overall quality of your sleep. However, it's just as important to create the right environment for sleep. As bedtime approaches, start by dimming your lights a few hours beforehand, which helps signal to your brain that it's time to wind down. Avoid screens, as their blue light can disrupt sleep signals. Ensure that your sleeping environment is conducive to rest: it should be cool, quiet, and completely dark, optimized for relaxation. Furthermore, following a consistent bedtime, preferably before midnight and no later than 11 PM, aligns with your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, facilitating deeper, more restorative sleep.Underlying Medical Conditions That Could Affect Your SleepIf you are having sleep disturbance or low energy, it is important to check [...]

Understanding Acid Reflux in Kids: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Causes in ChildrenAcid reflux in kids, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, affecting children and teens. GERD is often caused by factors that weaken the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscle that opens to let food into the stomach but sometimes fails to close properly, allowing acid from the stomach to back up into the esophagus. This reflux means stomach acid goes back into the food pipe, leading to gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms such as heartburn, an acid taste, and bad breath.In infants and older children, GERD symptoms may include fussiness, frequent spit-ups, arching backwards, and refusing to eat. Gastroesophageal reflux disease causes in children can range from stress to specific dietary triggers. Reflux occurs more often when the production of stomach acid is excessive or if the child is burped and has an acid taste in the mouth. GERD in infants is common, as they naturally have a weaker LES. Children with reflux may experience asthma-like symptoms, respiratory issues, or coughing as acid reflux irritates the airways. Endoscopy, a procedure involving a flexible tube, may be used to diagnose GERD by examining the upper GI tract, including parts of the stomach and small intestine, to measure the amount of acid the stomach makes and to identify non-acid reflux. For older children, an upper GI series or gastric emptying study can help diagnose reflux and determine the severity of the condition.Treatment will depend on the severity of symptoms and may include dietary changes, smaller portions at mealtimes, or specific medications to decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach. If your child has reflux or is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux, [...]

The Best Longevity Diet to Live a Healthy Life

Clean eating generally refers to a healthy, longevity diet that is NOT the ‘SAD Diet’ or the Standard North American Diet. The Sad Diet typically consists of ultra-processed foods, added sugar, fat, and sodium. Consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean protein is greatly lacking in this diet. Naturopathic practitioners emphasize consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and lean protein, which are greatly lacking in this diet. This approach to eating prioritizes whole foods and balanced nutrition to support overall health and well-being, aligning with the principles of clean eating and a balanced diet.Benefits of a Longevity DietA longevity diet offers numerous health benefits by focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and minimizing processed foods. This approach to eating can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Clean eating promotes better digestion, improved energy levels, and improved mental clarity. By incorporating a balanced diet rich in healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, you support your body’s natural detoxification processes and boost your immune system. Ultimately, following a longevity diet can lead to a healthier, longer life by providing essential nutrients and fostering overall well-being.Balanced Plates:Balanced eating goes together with clean eating because ‘you can have too much of a good thing’. Balance has to do with managing the amount of ‘macronutrients’ in your diet and on your plate. A ‘balanced plate’, if you were looking from above, might consist of 50% fruit or vegetables, 25% starchy foods (like grains and root vegetables) and 25% protein.Balanced Macronutrients:Macronutrients include carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Many trendy diets base their recommendations on modifying macronutrient intake or portions. What are these macronutrients? Carbohydrates:Carbohydrates (Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Beans!) are [...]

MORA Bioresonance Treatment and Allergy Testing

BioResonance therapy is an accurate and painless way to identify and address seasonal allergens, environmental allergens, food sensitivities, environmental toxin accumulation, and other stress burdens on the body.MORA BioResonance Allergy Test & Treatment is helpful with:Seasonal & environmental allergiesFood allergiesPet/Animal allergiesSkin sensitivities (eczema, dermatitis)Digestive concerns related to food sensitivities (constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating)How Do Allergies Develop?When the body is under stress, inflammation can develop, and elimination through organs such as the liver, bowel, and kidneys can become difficult or impaired. This can lead to a cascade of events including high histamine, leaky gut, and an imbalanced immune system which can lead to both food and environmental allergies.The MORA Bioressonance ProcessUsing MORA BioResonance Therapy, we identify the triggers and stress burdens that lead to inflammation and allergies. Once food sensitivities have been identified, they will be temporarily removed from the diet, and a diet appropriate for balancing the immune system and healing the gut will be introduced.  BioResonance treatments desensitize harmless substances (like food) and detoxify harmful substances (like environmental toxins), and with this, the body is naturally able to heal and allergies typically will lessen or resolve. BioResonance therapy desensitization may be recommended weekly or bi-weekly over a period of time to help the body and immune system tolerate or resolve some allergies.  After a period of approximately 12 weeks stressors and allergens can be retested to see if they are now eliminated and can be tolerated by the body.Step 1. MORA Allergy Assessment IncludesIdentification of specific food and environmental allergens. Identification of external and internal factors that are contributing to allergies. Toxins (like air pollution) and infection (like candida) increase the stress burden on the body and lead to inflammation and allergies.Allergy treatment + allergy drops.Step 2. Allergy [...]

How to Increase Your Vibration for Whole Health

By Etsuko IkedaI strongly believe that it is important to keep our vibration level high to live a balanced and healthy life both physically and mentally. Modern science shows us that the entire universe consists of energy. All things in the universe are constantly in motion. Even objects that appear to be stationary are vibrating at various frequencies. You are a living, vibrating energy field. Not only are we surrounded by vibrations but we are vibrations ourselves. When a person is suffering from chronic stress, illness or dealing with unfortunate events, it could be an indication that they are out of balance both within themselves and with the universal energy surrounding them. It can be said that they are in a disharmonious relationship with their body’s optimal health and that of the universe. These low-vibration energies can disrupt your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Learning how to raise your vibration involves recognizing these imbalances and actively working towards aligning your energy with the positive flow of universal vibrations.Try these six simple tips to increase your vibration and whole health.Gratitude and Reflection: Each evening, take a moment to reflect on 1-3 things that brought you joy throughout the day. Engage in this practice with a genuine smile and consider maintaining a gratitude journal. This habit not only boosts your positive energy but also aligns you with the higher vibrational emotions that shape a fulfilled life.Mindful Thinking: Choose positive affirmations daily to reshape your thoughts and feelings. By replacing negative thought patterns with positive ones, you create a high-vibrational environment within your mind, helping to raise your energetic frequency and attract more positivity.Exercise and Nutrition: Engage in activities that make you feel good about your body, such [...]

Energy Body Self Care

Marco Rosada Biofield Healer at Biofield Medical | Toronto The Human Energy Body or biofield surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body and is made of two distinct modules. One is a complex system of electromagnetic fields known as Aura or Auric Field where every bit of information about physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health is recorded since the day the body was conceived. The other module is made of Subtle Energy–also known as Bio-Energy, Chi, Orgon, Ki, Prana, etc.–funnelled into and around the physical body by the spin of the trillions of particles the body is made of. Both modules surround and interpenetrate the physical body. The biofield is responsible for the communication between the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies and regulates the body’s biological function and homeostasis – the ability of an organism to maintain a state of internal balance and physical wellbeing despite changes or outside factors. Our Biofield energy patterns are sensitive to low-vibrational electromagnetic fields like those we create by associating a negative thought or event to a correspondent negative emotion. Every time we experience or remember a negative event, we generate electromagnetic (EM) fields that can end up sitting anywhere in our biofield, damaging the information contained in the energy patterns. The higher amount of low vibrational EM fields in our biofield, the more our physical, emotional, and mental bodies are vulnerable and exposed to imbalance and disease. Three minutes/day to avoid old and new negative emotions lingering in your energy body: […]

Emotional Freedom Technique

By Dr. Angelina Riopel, ND EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture.
