Naturopathic Health

  A balanced immune system is important for everyone and colds or flu, even mild hayfever symptoms may be a sign that the immune system isn't balanced.  For some people it even comes down to evaluating and making sure they have healthy digestion and a balance of beneficial bacteria.  Recent research shows that there isn't really any general "good bacteria".  Depending on your symptoms specific probotics may be needed to help restore gut health and immune balance.  Paul and Debra have been keeping up with the published research and can help you find the right probiotic for your health.

Debra has recently completed  studies in the Metabolic Balance program and is able to offer a truly individual health and diet program based on your own metabolism. 

It can be frustrating for people to find that they have gained an extra few kilograms over the winter.  There may be nutritional deficiencies that are creating more of a challenge; or a slowing down of your metabolic rate.  If you would like to put together a plan with a professional to address these issues.  The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll see and feel the results.  Winter is commonly a time where there is a decrease in many peoples Vitamin D levels.  Vitamin D is not just required for healthy bones, but also plays important roles in health of the immune system.  This can be important if you have had any winter viruses to make sure you have a good start to the warmer months.

Some people find that  motivation drops as stress levels increase.  There are some wonderful herbs that can help us feel our best such as passiflora, magnolia and siberian ginseng.  Debra and Paul have experience in creating herbal formula's that help pick people up, stay motivated and get them ready to make the most out of every day.

For over 6 years, both Paul and Debra have been assisting clients with the impacts of genetic SNP’s in relation to the way their body uses supplements and foods - a new field known as nutrigenomics. With this research they can inform patients of specific Gene defects such as MTHFR, COMT, NAT2, CYP1A1, CYP1B1, DAOA.  Then appropriate lifestyle recommendations can be made.  This form of genetic analysis helps patients understand which specific foods, or supplements they should be including, or avoiding in their diet. It also may assist in identifying what type of exercise, and diet plan can help a person lose weight.  As more and more research becomes available it can even be used to help decide which of the hundreds of probiotics (good bacteria) could be the right one for you.
