Procedure Details

A naturopathic visit is typically longer than a conventional doctor’s appointment, lasting 120 minutes for the first visit and 30–60 minutes for follow-ups. The ND will take time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and goals, creating a tailored plan to improve your well-being. The visit may include a a detailed patient health history, lab tests referrals and recommendations, and a discussion of natural therapies like nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle changes, or stress management techniques. The focus is on prevention, education, and empowering you to take charge of your health.

Components of a Naturopathic Visit:

• Comprehensive Health History: The ND asks detailed questions about your medical history, symptoms, diet, exercise, stress, sleep, and environmental factors to understand the full picture of your health.
• Discussion of Goals and Concerns ): You’ll share your health goals (e.g., reducing pain, improving energy, or managing a condition like Sjögren’s syndrome), and the ND will explain how naturopathic care can help.
• Personalized Treatment Plan : The ND creates a plan that may include dietary recommendations, herbal supplements, homeopathic remedies, stress-reduction techniques (e.g., meditation, acupuncture, HRV reading, vagus nerve balancing, etc), exercise, or other therapies tailored to your needs.
• Education and Empowerment): The ND explains the plan, why it’s recommended, and how to implement it, ensuring you feel confident in making lifestyle changes.
• Follow-Up Planning (5 minutes): The ND discusses next steps, such as scheduling follow-up visits (typically in 2–6 weeks) or recommending lab tests to monitor progress or identify underlying issues (e.g., nutrient deficiencies or inflammation markers).
