natural health products
Q: Will I have to take a lot of supplements?
A: It all depends. Often, natural health products (vitamins, minerals, nutrient extracts, herbs) are part of your customized naturopathic medical treatment plan. While diet is emphasized and all efforts are made to get your nutrients through diet, often it is not possible to get everything through diet at optimal levels, especially if you are coming from a place of significant imbalance.
Typically, patients take more supplements in the beginning, when larger efforts are needed to make significant shifts in overall nutrient and health status, and as things come back into balance, many patients maintain on zero to a few key supplements. It is truly different for everyone, though, and we are completely open to working with you at any level. If you feel you can only handle a certain number of treatments, please note this in your intake form. If you don't want to take natural health products, also please make this clear to us. While it is our duty to recommend what we feel you require most, it is ultimately up to you to decide what you are willing to do, and we can come to a consensus regarding what is best for you and your unique circumstances at this time.
Q: If you recommend that I take natural health products, do I have to purchase them from you?
A: No, you can purchase natural health products from wherever you'd like! While we do have an online store, you are under no obligation to purchase from us. Some clients choose to purchase their products from health food stores in the community or online. We are fully behind whichever method works best for you, with one condition: Please don't change the brand, product, or dosage recommended. These products were chosen for a reason and are important to the success of your treatment. Changing them can drastically decrease the effectiveness of your treatment. As long as you stick to the recommendations, please obtain your products in whichever way is easiest for you!
