Lab testing
Blood work comes first. Depending on your history, that may include a thyroid panel, iron and ferritin, B12, vitamin D, fasting insulin and glucose, and hormones timed to your cycle.
I order a test when the result would change the plan.

What an appointment can include
Plans start with the foundations (food, sleep, stress and movement), then add testing, supplements or acupuncture where your history calls for them.
Nutrition and lifestyle
Protein and fibre targets you can hit at real meals, plus sleep, stress and exercise changes sized to your week.
This is where plans start, before testing or supplements.
Supplements and botanicals
Recommended when your labs or history point to a specific need, with the dose, timing and how long to take them.
Acupuncture (in person)
Acupuncture can be added to an in-person appointment. It is used as part of care for period pain, stress and fertility support.
Fine needles are placed at specific points on the body.
How care works
Before your first visit
Book online through the clinic you choose, or the virtual option. Bring recent lab results, a list of your medications and supplements, and any relevant reports.
Your first visit (60 to 75 minutes)
We go through your main concerns, your health and cycle history, and the foundations: what you eat, how you sleep, stress and movement. I look at any labs you bring and explain which tests, if any, are worth doing next.
After your first visit
If testing is part of your plan, you leave with lab requisitions, and we go over the results together at your follow-up.
Follow-ups (30 to 45 minutes)
We go over results, adjust the plan and track what has changed. Some people notice changes after a couple of follow-ups, while others need appointments over several months. Every plan is individualized, and no particular outcome can be promised.
Working with your other providers
Naturopathic care can sit alongside your medications and your family doctor's care. If something is outside my scope, I'll direct you to your MD or NP and work alongside their care.
