 Naturopath Skin Treatment in EdmontonOur Naturopaths often use Food Allergy Testing as a cornerstone of many of our skin treatments. Naturopathic approaches:Acne - Our experience (and that of many other practitioners) is that dietary modification can produce improvement or even complete resolution of acne in some patients. Our Naturopaths frequently use Food Sensitivity Testing on our Edmonton clients. Common acne provoking foods include chocolate, milk, tomatoes, oranges, nuts, wheat, pork and sugar. Hormone Testing is paramount in many acne cases. If possible our Naturopaths run DUTCH urinary hormone testing. DUTCH testing allows us to understand the quantity of male hormones and their 5-alpha metabolites. For acne cases with only a PMS worsening our Naturopaths may use salivary estradiol and progesterone testing (much lower costs than Urine DUTCH testing). Eczema - Numerous investigators have found that food allergy is a common cause of eczema. As such our Naturopaths prefer running Food sensitivity or allergy testing in all our Edmonton eczema patients. Elimination of milk/dairy, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes, wheat/gluten and artificial colors and preservatives results in significant improvement in most pediatric patients we've seen. If we see many foods elevate on testing, we initiate aggressive gut healing and may also do microbiome analysis as well. Psoriasis - Several investigators have observed complete resolution of Psoriasis lesions in patients with after they went on a gluten-free diet, this certainly implicates foods as problematic in some Psoriasis patients. In our experience, allergy to foods other than gluten is common in Psoriasis - Dairy and Eggs are also extremely common food triggers our Naturopaths see in our Edmonton patients as well as alcohol. As in many Autoimmune diseases, the gut can be a central component in other ways than food allergies. Dysbiosis and Yeast overgrowth as well as gut barrier permeability are all factors that have to be considered. We usually run a microbiome analysis (stool culture or CDSA) to assess bacteria, yeast and possibly parasites. Hives - Assessing for provocative foods is of absolute importance in hives. If the reactions happen shortly after eating your Naturopath will likely recommend Food Allergy Testing; if reactions are delayed we may elect for Food Sensitivity Testing. You will likely be sent to Dr. Sumar for histamine analysis as well as analysis of deficiencies related to histamine production. Our Naturopaths have seen many Edmonton patients with both provocative foods and deficiencies contributing to chronic hives. Occasionally low histamine diets can also be helpful for hives.

We often run food allergy testing to understand skin concerns
Our approach:Our Naturopaths usually begin by identifying food allergies and sensitivities in many skin cases. Dr. Sumar may search for sources of histamine in your case especially eczema or hives cases. Her test methods are helpful for finding offending bacteria in some cases of skin infections, peri-oral dermatitis and acne. IV Therapy can be used to improve skin health in select cases. Our Naturopaths also offer some topical treatments for skin concerns on a case by case basis. Experiencing skin issues?We want to help

IV Therapy in EdmontonIV Therapy for Skin Health in EdmontonAt TruMed Naturopathic Clinic in Edmonton, our naturopathic doctors take a functional medicine approach to skin health — focusing on the internal factors that drive inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature aging. For many patients dealing with acne, eczema, psoriasis, or dull, tired-looking skin, IV therapy provides a powerful, science-based way to nourish and rejuvenate from within. With over 15,000 IV treatments delivered in Edmonton, TruMed is one of the city’s leading IV therapy clinics. By bypassing the digestive tract, IV drips deliver 100% bioavailable nutrients directly into circulation for faster, more reliable results than oral supplements. Glutathione IV Therapy — The Master Antioxidant for Clear, Radiant SkinGlutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support liver detoxification — all of which contribute to clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. Our naturopathic doctors in Edmonton often use IV Glutathione therapy to support patients with:
Because oral glutathione is poorly absorbed, IV administration is the gold standard for achieving visible results. Many TruMed patients notice improved skin tone, a natural glow, and reduced breakouts within a few weeks of treatment. For enhanced effect, our naturopaths often combine Glutathione IVs with Vitamin C infusions, which help regenerate and stabilize glutathione levels for longer-lasting antioxidant protection. NAD+ IV Therapy — Cellular Repair & Anti-Aging from WithinNAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell that powers energy production and DNA repair. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline — leading to slower cell turnover, reduced collagen synthesis, and loss of skin elasticity. At TruMed, we use NAD+ IV therapy to help rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level. By improving mitochondrial function and enhancing DNA repair, NAD+ supports:
Patients who receive NAD+ IV therapy often report not just clearer, more youthful-looking skin, but also improved energy, focus, and mood — making it one of our most comprehensive wellness treatments. Naturopathic Skin Rejuvenation in EdmontonOur naturopaths understand that glowing, healthy skin begins with internal balance — hormone health, detoxification, and cellular repair all play crucial roles. That’s why at TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, we often integrate Glutathione and NAD+ IV therapy with nutritional optimization, hormone assessment, and functional medicine testing for lasting skin improvement. If you’re struggling with acne, pigmentation, inflammation, or early signs of aging, our team can help design a personalized IV therapy protocol to restore your skin’s clarity and radiance from the inside out. ????

Root-Cause Dermatology: How Our Edmonton Naturopaths Approach Skin DisordersAt our naturopathic clinic in Edmonton, skin health is often linked to internal imbalances—especially gut health, hormones, inflammation, immune dysregulation, and food intolerances. Core naturopathic investigations used at our Edmonton clinic include: Acne: Naturopathic Acne Treatment in EdmontonOur Edmonton naturopaths focus on identifying hormonal, dietary, inflammatory, and microbiome-related factors that contribute to acne. Acne is commonly related to elevated androgens like testosterone, excessive 5-alpha reductase activity, gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance, and inflammatory foods. Common acne triggers assessed at our Edmonton naturopathic clinic include: Our naturopaths in Edmonton often use DUTCH hormone testing to understand androgen pathways, monitor testosterone metabolism (alpha- vs beta-pathways), and evaluate estrogen-progesterone balance. For PMS or cyclical acne, salivary estradiol/progesterone testing can be a cost-effective strategy. Treatments may include hormonal balance support, gut restoration therapies, dietary medical nutrition plans, supplements, and in select cases, IV Therapy for skin nourishment and inflammation reduction. Eczema: Naturopathic Eczema Treatment in EdmontonEczema (atopic dermatitis) is often linked to food allergies, gut inflammation, histamine imbalance, and immune-mediated reactions. At our Edmonton Naturopathic Clinic, we focus on identifying and treating underlying immune triggers—not just suppressing the rash. Common naturopathic eczema strategies we use in Edmonton: Many Edmonton eczema patients experience significant improvements once food sensitivities are removed and gut healing is initiated. Our Naturopathic Doctors often combine dietary optimization with inflammation reduction and immune modulation. Psoriasis: Functional and Naturopathic Psoriasis Support in EdmontonPsoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune skin condition that responds well to targeted naturopathic strategies when the root cause is identified. Many Edmonton psoriasis patients experience noticeable improvements after we analyze immune triggers, foods, and microbial imbalances. Key Edmonton-based naturopathic psoriasis strategies include: Our naturopaths often use DUTCH testing to assess Cortisol’s impact on psoriasis, since high stress and elevated Cortisol can worsen flare-ups. Many Edmonton psoriasis patients improve with gut restoration and gluten reduction strategies, even when traditional treatments have failed. Hives & Chronic Urticaria – Naturopathic Treatment in EdmontonOur Edmonton naturopathic clinic commonly sees patients with chronic hives (urticaria), often related to hidden food triggers, histamine intolerance, gut dysbiosis, or nutritional deficiencies. Common naturopathic testing in Edmonton for Hives: Dr. Sumar offers advanced electrodermal and histamine pathway analysis for complex hives cases. We often correlate elevated histamine with low B6, zinc, magnesium, or DAO enzyme deficiency. Low histamine diets are sometimes used, along with systemic gut healing and nutrient repletion to support resolution. IV Therapy for Skin Health – Advanced Skin Support at TruMed EdmontonFor select Edmonton skin cases, our naturopathic doctors may recommend IV Therapy to deliver high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and glutathione directly into the bloodstream to support cellular repair, collagen production, and inflammatory regulation.
