• Many individuals seek guidance from Joseph, their Naturopathic Doctor, when skin problems like eczema, acne, or psoriasis that aren't improving disrupts their well-being. Through a personalized naturopathic plan, they often achieve a much deeper understanding of their body and its needs, empowering them to embrace activities like performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back without difficulty with renewed vitality.
• It's truly rewarding for Joseph to witness patients resolve supporting my child's health naturally for common issues and experience experiencing greatly reduced hot flashes and night sweats. A holistic naturopathic approach, focusing on your unique constitution, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in being able to carry their baby or toddler without straining their back or arms or feeling exhausted again.

Your personalized naturopathic treatment plan, developed with Joseph, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives using a holistic approach.

Joseph's practice is situated at a naturopathic clinic in Brossard, in the Quartier DIX30 area, specifically in Section L and Section O. The clinic is conveniently located near Access to Pont Champlain and is easily accessible via the Réseau de transport de Longueuil (RTL). Our clinic is accessible.

How long do Naturopathic appointments typically last?

Your first Naturopathic visit is comprehensive and usually takes about 60-90 minutes. Subsequent follow-up appointments can vary, typically from 30 to 60 minutes. The length of your appointments will be determined by your Naturopathe based on your individual needs and treatment plan.

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathe recommend?

A Naturopathe may utilize both conventional and specialized lab tests. Conventional tests (like those your MD might order) can include standard blood panels (CBC, cholesterol, blood sugar, iron, etc.), urinalysis, and thyroid hormone testing. Specialized or functional tests might include comprehensive hormone panels (saliva, urine, or blood), food sensitivity testing (e.g., IgG), comprehensive digestive stool analysis, organic acid testing, or heavy metal testing. The specific tests recommended will depend on your individual health concerns and history, and are used to gain deeper insights into your body's functioning and guide treatment.

What are some of the specialized therapies Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathes) might offer if they have extra training?

Some Naturopathes pursue additional certifications for specialized therapies. These can include Intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy to deliver high doses of vitamins and minerals directly, prolotherapy for chronic joint and ligament pain by stimulating natural healing, or advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies, so patients interested in these options should inquire directly with the clinic.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathe in QC?

Patients in QC can typically see a Naturopathe (Naturopathic Doctor or Naturopathe) directly without a physician's referral (a process known as direct access). However, while a referral isn't legally required to consult a Naturopathe, some private or extended health insurance plans may require one for reimbursement. Patients are advised to verify their insurance policies before their appointment.

Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, our clinic offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance companies. Patients should bring their insurance card and confirm their specific coverage details—including annual maximums, per-visit limits, and referral requirements—directly with their insurer, as plans vary. Any costs not covered are the patient's responsibility.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Naturopathic services provided by a licensed Naturopathic Doctor are generally not covered by RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for these services. It's important to check with private or extended health insurance plans, many of which may offer partial coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors, but coverage levels vary significantly.

What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct system of primary healthcare that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. A licensed Naturopathe aims to stimulate the body's innate healing ability, address underlying causes of illness, and promote overall health and disease prevention. It helps by identifying root causes, providing individualized treatment plans using therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy, and empowering patients to actively participate in their health.

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathe) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?

Medical Doctors (MDs) primarily use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathe (Naturopathic Doctors or Naturopathes) take a holistic approach, focusing on identifying and treating the root causes of health issues through natural therapies such as diet, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle modifications. They emphasize disease prevention and patient education, and their approaches can complement each other within a comprehensive healthcare plan.
