Naturopathic Weight Loss

At the Naturopathic Family Practice of Niagara, we take pride in our individualize weight loss approach, because as you know, what works for one person does not always work for another.  We listen to you as an individual and assess your blood work to determine if there are any barriers to you and your weight loss goals. Even after your best efforts, weight fluctuations can arise from hormone imbalance, poor digestive function, low acting thyroid, genetics, food intolerance, chronic inflammation, and much more. After a thorough investigation, we will make dietary recommendations specific for your needs and support the body with nutritional supplements when indicated. 

At your initial visit, we will gather information and determine if laboratory testing is indicated. Common tests used to assess for weight include:

• Standard blood work - assess for nutritional deficiencies and thyroid function.
• Food intolerance testing - assess for underlying food intolerances and digestive issues. 
• Nutrigenomix - nutrition based on your genetics
• Healthy and Active Metabolism Program - nutrition based on your blood type and 42 other individual blood parameters. 
• Salivary Hormone Testing - assess for hormonal imbalances. 

Your second visit will involve a physical examination, review of test results and dietary recommendations. Regular follow-ups offer ongoing dietary education, support and allow for accountability for you to reach your goals.
