Preventative Healthcare  Natural Medicine

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND NATUROPATHIC PRACTICES

​

At West Elks Wellness we believe in the innate healing potential of the human body and natural medicine supports the body in doing 'its job.' 

​

We leverage high quality nutritional supplements, botanical products, comprehensive lab interpretation and specialized testing, when appropriate, to provide individualized treatment plans to treat and reverse health concerns. Patients who see naturopathic doctors often feel dismissed by the conventional medical system and because of this West Elks Wellness does not accept any form of insurance. 

​

At our clinic we see a range of health conditions from peri-and post-menopause, hypo- and hyper-thyroid, type 2 diabetes and metabolic liver disease, cardiovascular support both before and after cardiac events to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophagaeal reflux disease (GERD), gallbladder issues.

Vitalist Medicine

By understanding this philosophy a naturopathic doctor does three things to help you overcome your health challenges: 


1. Give the body what it needs

2. Help the body take out the trash

3. Get out of the way - both the practitioner and the patient

Herbal Remedies

Our botanical medicines stimulate the body's natural systems, boosting their strength to regain the optimal functions needed to achieve and maintain a healthy state of being. Each treatment is customized to the individual patient's needs and is effective both short and long-term.

Nutritional Counseling

We help our patients achieve optimal nutrition so their bodies can be more readily adaptable. We work together to assess their current diet and educate them about the best dietary changes they can make to improve their well-being. All while being supportive and motivating so our patients can feel empowered to make these changes.
