Your initial consultation with a naturopath at Simplicity Health Associates is a comprehensive session lasting between one to one and a half hours. This session is crucial for us to understand your health in depth.
Comprehensive Health Review
We start by taking an extensive health history, similar to what you might experience at a traditional medical doctor's office. However, our approach goes beyond just your physical health.
Diet and Nutrition
We delve deep into your dietary habits, understanding what you eat for each meal. This insight helps us assess how your diet impacts your overall health and wellbeing.
Sleep Patterns
Sleep quality is vital for good health. We inquire about your sleeping habits, such as if you sleep through the night, your bedtime routines, and any issues with waking up during the night.
Digestive Health
Your digestive health tells us a lot about your overall well being. We ask about your bowel movement regularity and any issues like constipation or diarrhea to get a clearer picture of your gut health.
Beyond the Basics: Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
We also consider lifestyle and environmental factors that could be influencing your health. This includes stress levels, exercise habits, and exposure to toxins.
Personalized Treatment Plan
At the end of the consultation, we develop a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan. This plan is tailored to your unique biochemistry and may include dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, and supplements, aimed at addressing the root cause of your health concerns.
