1) Find the right focus. Although all Naturopaths in Alberta have undergone similar training at Naturopathic medical school, the training that they continue and the areas they focus on after graduating differ greatly. For instance, some Naturopaths focus just on kids or just on Cancer! So you probably don't want to visit one of those Naturopaths if you're experiencing digestive concerns.

Make sure you research the Naturopath you want to visit and make sure they deal or have dealt with your particular concerns. So, if you want to visit someone at TruMed, we do really well with Thyroid, Hormone Concerns and Digestive concerns and our Naturopathic Doctors do a lot of IV Therapy.  So, if you have those, or a conditions that responds well to IV Therapy, we can probably help you really well.

2) Know the costs. All Naturopaths in Edmonton charge money for visits because we are not covered by Alberta health so be prepared. In general, expect to pay around $200 for your first visit and anywhere from $80-$150 on average for follow up visits.

Testing is another area that you need to know about. Testing gets pricey. Hormone testing, Allergy testing and Thyroid testing can add up starting at a couple of hundred dollars to well over a thousand dollars, so plan ahead and ask your prospective Naturopath's office about these type of fees. Check your benefits! Lots of benefits are starting to cover test costs which can greatly reduce your out of pocket naturopath costs. 

Lastly, supplements and treatments add significantly to costs. Most Naturopaths will suggest you take supplements. Sometimes it can be a bottle or two, whereas in other situations it can be upwards of 10!! Luckily some newer insurance benefits are starting to cover supplements but this is not common! Expect to pay out of pocket. IV Therapy is amazing as well but can also be pricey - IV Treatments on average are about $150. 

3) Be patient. Every Naturopath in Edmonton wants you to get better! But sometimes it takes time for treatments to work and it might be a month or two before you start to feel a lot better. Sometimes they don't work as intended and you and your Naturopath need to switch things up. At TruMed we like to have patients well on their way within 6 weeks of their first visit, and try to get cases under control with 3-4 visits. That's another reason we use a lot of IV therapy at TruMed Clinic because the results are really quick.

What is a Naturopath?

A Naturopath refers specifically to a Naturopathic Doctor; these are both protected titles in Alberta. All Edmonton Naturopaths are registered with the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta.
