Introduction To Health Programs

At Port Moody Naturopathic Health & Wellness, we offer several different health programs - some of the more common ones are listed on our website. Although our health programs follow general guidelines and practices that are proven effective for a particular subset of conditions, your treatment plan is specific to you and your needs.

Whether you are looking for smoking cessation, fertility enhancement, or general detoxification, we can offer a solution that’s right for you.

Corporate Wellness

Prevention of disease and promotion of optimal health and wellness should be a key focus of any corporation. Research has shown focus on health promotion and disease prevention helps to minimize sick days and optimize performance in the work place. Port Moody Naturopathic Health and Wellness offers corporate wellness education in the form of workshops and/or seminars. A series of seminars discussing various health issues on a monthly or weekly basis may be of most benefit, depending on your goals as an employer and the needs or concerns of your employees.

Fertility Programs

Port Moody Naturopathic Health and Wellness offers natural, non-invasive alternatives to conventional fertility treatments. An individualized assessment will determine if there are any underlying hormonal deficiencies (i.e. thyroid, adrenal, ovary, etc.), as well as if there is or has been exposure to certain toxins (i.e. oral contraceptive use, heavy metal exposure, etc.). Diet and lifestyle considerations are taken into account and modified where necessary. A combination of acupuncture, botanicals, detoxification, diet/lifestyle modifications and if necessary, natural bioidentical hormone(s), are used as therapies to develop a holistic, individualized treatment plan.

Detoxification Programs

We are all exposed to toxins from our environment and food we ingest. Some have more exposure than others depending on occupation, dietary and lifestyle habits, previous exposures, current state of health, as well as other factors. Taking everything into consideration, a personalized detoxification program is developed that is right for you. The goal is to promote detoxification in a slow, healthy, manageable way with little to no unwanted side effects.

Common symptoms and conditions of toxicity include: chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, depression, memory loss, ADHD/ADD, neurological conditions, immune dysfunction, eczema, psoriasis, acne, PMS, infertility, multiple chemical sensitivities, food sensitivities, among many others.

Smoking Cessation Programs

Smoking is a very powerful addiction that not only has serious consequences for the health of the smoker, but also for those around them (friends, family, co-workers). Stopping smoking can be very difficult, but the first step is to be committed to your goal. There are several ways that naturopathic therapies can help a committed individual to successfully quit smoking. Commonly used therapies and strategies may include acupuncture, vitamins and minerals, detoxification, lifestyle and nutritional counseling, botanicals and homeopathics. A smoking cessation program is customized to meet the specific needs of the individual. The ultimate goal is to minimize the side effects of withdrawl and to be smoke-free permanently.
