Frequently Ask Questions
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession that combines the wisdom of nature with the rigours of modern science. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are provincially-regulated primary health care providers who specialize in natural medicine and preventive health care, integrating standard medical knowledge and diagnostics with a wide variety of natural therapies. We aim to treat the whole person—addressing the root causes of illness, not just symptoms—through individualised treatment plans that include dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal remedies, and other natural therapies.
Similar to conventional medicine, Naturopathic doctors in Ontario and Canada undergo rigorous training before we can practice. We must have an undergraduate degree, have completed premedical undergraduate coursework and have completed a four-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical education at an accredited naturopathic medical school.
Naturopathic education encompasses basic diagnostic sciences such as anatomy, biochemistry, embryology, pathology, immunology, clinical physiology, pharmacology, physical and clinical diagnosis, and lab diagnosis – as well as conventional and naturopathic therapies to improve and maintain patients’ wellbeing. Following their education, NDs must pass a series of board examinations to be licensed. We must also meet continuing education requirements of at least 70 hours every 3 years to maintain our registration current and adhere to professional standards.
As naturopathic doctors we receive extensive training in:
- Clinical nutrition
- Botanical medicine
- Homeopathy
- Asian medicine
- Acupuncture
- Physical medicine
- Lifestyle counselling
I’m a professional member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND). As a licensed
practitioner, I am regulated by the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO).
My professional credentials include:
- Doctor of Naturopathy – Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Ontario-Canada
- MBA in International Business – University of Miami, Florida-USA
- Master of Science in Professional Management – University of Miami, Florida-USA
- Facial Rejuvenation and Cosmetic Acupuncture certification
While both naturopathic and conventional medicine can treat illnesses and save lives, naturopathy focuses more on the whole person, prevention of diseases, natural therapies and treating the root cause of illness rather than just addressing symptoms. NDs spend a lot more time with patients educating them and empowering them to take an active role in their health.
Yes, naturopathic and conventional treatments can be complementary. Many NDs work in collaboration with MDs and other healthcare professionals to provide integrative care, ensuring patients receive the most comprehensive and effective treatment possible.
