What types of conditions do Naturopathic Doctors at Nutrition House Natural Health Clinic address?

Our Naturopathic Doctors address a wide range of health concerns, with a focus on identifying and treating the root cause. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like digestive health, hormone balancing, anxiety & mood support, and skin conditions. Services such as Comprehensive Naturopathic Health Intake (e.g., clinical nutrition) and Physical Examinations (e.g., botanical medicine) are utilized to develop personalized treatment plans aimed at supporting your overall well-being.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?

It’s helpful to bring any recent lab work (within the last year or two), a complete list of your medications and supplements (including brand and dose), and your extended health insurance information. Some people also find it useful to fill out any intake forms provided by the clinic beforehand to save time during the appointment.

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathic Doctor recommend?

Your Naturopathic Doctor may recommend a variety of lab tests to help assess your health. This can range from standard blood work you might get at your family doctor’s office (to check things like nutrient levels, organ function, or inflammation markers) to more specialized functional tests. These specialized tests could look at hormone balance in more detail, identify potential food sensitivities, assess your gut microbiome, or check for environmental toxin exposure. The goal is to get a clearer picture of what’s happening in your body to create a more targeted treatment plan.

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

Both Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approach and primary scope can differ. MDs typically focus on diagnosing and treating diseases using conventional methods like pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathic Doctors focus on prevention and use natural therapies to support the body’s self-healing abilities, often looking for the root cause of illness. They may use treatments like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. In many cases, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can work collaboratively to provide comprehensive patient care. The regulation and scope of practice for Naturopathic Doctors vary by province.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in ON?

In Ontario, patients can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a physician's referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand their specific requirements.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are generally not covered by OHIP. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket, but many private insurance plans offer coverage for registered/licensed Naturopathic Doctors. It’s important to review your individual insurance policy to understand your coverage levels.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

The first appointment involves a comprehensive health history review, discussion of current symptoms, and a physical exam relevant to your concerns. Dr. Cheung will work with you to develop an initial treatment plan, which may include dietary advice, lifestyle modifications, and natural therapies aimed at supporting your health goals.
