Find the right focus: Make sure the naturopath has experience with your concerns, for instance, at TruMed we lots of hormonal and digestive issues in our Edmonton patients.

Know the costs: Seeing a naturopath in Edmonton is private medicine, make sure you are aware of the fees before booking your appointment.

Be patient: treatment from a naturopath is often effective but it can sometimes take a few months to find the treatment that works for you.

Be confident: If after your first visit you don't feel comfortable and confident in your naturopath, don't feel obligated, find another naturopath in Edmonton that's a better fit.

Are Naturopaths real doctors?

We are not medical doctors if that's what you mean! That's sort of the point. Naturopathic doctors are heavily trained in standard western medicine (like your MD) but we also learn how to integrate vitamins, dietary changes and supplements into the treatment of your health concerns.  

Are Naturopathic services covered by Alberta health?

Unfortunately no. Naturopaths in Edmonton are private health care providers, so expect out of pocket costs. But lots of our patients get excellent reimbursement through their  benefit plans. 

How much do Naturopathic doctors charge?

Every Naturopath in Edmonton has different prices for their services. At TruMed Clinic our initial consultation is $245, that gets you about an hour with one of our Naturopathic Doctors. But there might be additional costs for testing or supplements so be prepared! 

What training do Naturopaths have?

Naturopathic doctors have a ton of training. All Naturopaths in Alberta have a four year Naturopathic doctorate which included standard medical classes alongside naturopathic medical modalities like herbal medicine and nutrition. 

Can Naturopaths prescribe medication?

Although Naturopaths have substantial training in pharmacology, in Alberta Naturopathic doctors don't prescribe. At TruMed we've partnered with some prescribing professionals that we refer our patients to if they need a medicine or hormone for their care.

Can a Naturopath help with Anxiety or Depression?

Definitely. We can improve your mood in two ways. First we can screen you for hormonal abnormalities that might be causing the mood issues in the first place. Secondly, our naturopathic docs can use numerous effective herbal medicines, IV therapies and nutrients that can help with both anxiety and depression - most of which can be combined with anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medications.

Can a Naturopath help with Acne?

Our naturopaths work with Acne all the time. We usually want to figure out if there are any food triggers to your acne as well as hormonal imbalances. Food allergy testing or dietary changes and Salivary or urinary "DUTCH" testing are pretty important. Sometimes our Naturopathic doctors also use nutrients like zinc and Vitamin A. 

Can a Naturopath help with IBS?

Does a duck quack? Of course we can! Our Naturopaths see and treat a ton of IBS. We usually screen your diet, perform food sensitivity or food allergy testing and do some dietary changes. Our Naturopaths also do digestion and microbiome analyses (SIBO - bacterial overgrowth and yeasts like Candida and parasites) and then make recommendations specific to you.

Can a Naturopath help with Hairloss?

Yup. Our Naturopaths are usually looking for the cause of the hairloss. If it's more male pattern, we usually do urinary "Dutch" hormone testing to get a feel for your androgen metabolites. If it's more generalized hairloss we are usually looking at your Thyroid and iron levels.

Can a Naturopath help with weightloss?

The Naturopathic doctors at TruMed usually try to understand if your hormones are in good shape so that you can be in a better position to lose weight when other things are done right (exercise and calorie reduction). So we usually screen for Thyroid, Cortisol, DHEA and Testosterone and Insulin levels for all of our patients looking to lose weight.

Can a Naturopath help with allergies?

Although there are some good natural anti-histamines, we usually try and figure out if there are any food allergies that are making your seasonal allergies worse and try and remove those. Dr Sumar also does histamine analysis and screens if you have nutrient deficiencies that are causing histamine overproduction or if you are not breaking it down properly.
