Hypothyroidism

Thyroid issues are something our Naturopaths see a lot of at our Edmonton clinic.

Acne

Our Naturopaths are experienced with various skin concerns - Acne & Eczema are the two most common we see in our Edmonton patients. Both frequently improve with dietary modifications - our Naturopathic Doctors usually elect for Food Intolerance Testing for this. With acne, we'll jump into hormones and assess Estrogens, Androgens (male hormones) and their Urinary Metabolites. 

PMS

Premenstrual syndrome issues are common at our Edmonton Naturopathic clinic. More often than not our Naturopaths do Salivary hormone testing (luteal phase Estradiol & Progesterone) to see the hormonal balance during the premenstrual period so we can make specific Naturopathic recommendations to balance your hormones.

The Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed treat a massive range of health conditions. Most commonly our Naturopaths treat: Fatigue, Digestive issues, Hormone imbalances, Skin and Mood concerns. However, each Naturopathic Doctor at TruMed does have additional areas of focus.

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 for our Edmonton patients. 

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! 

How often do I have to come?

At TruMed, we understand that seeing a Naturopathic Doctor is expensive so our Naturopaths try and cover all over your concerns within 2-4 visits. The Naturopathic Doctors usually check in with our Edmonton patients every 1-4 months to track progress and adjust protocols. 

What training do Naturopaths have?

Naturopathic doctors have a ton of training. All Naturopaths in Edmonton & Alberta have a four year Naturopathic doctorate (after undergraduate training) which included standard medical classes alongside naturopathic medical modalities like herbal medicine and nutrition - minimum of 7 years post secondary. 

Can Naturopaths prescribe medication?

Although Naturopaths have substantial training in pharmacology, in Edmonton & Alberta Naturopathic doctors don't prescribe. At TruMed our Naturopaths have relationships with some Edmonton 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. Naturopaths 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 Edmonton 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 in our Edmonton patients 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 Edmonton 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. Our Naturopaths see a lot of Thyroid issues causing hair loss in our Edmonton patients. 

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 Edmonton 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.

December 2019

9 MS patients and 14 controls were given VSL#3 (now called Visbiome in Canada) for two months which increased the abundance of several bacteria known to be depleted in MS such as Lactobacillus and decreased bacteria associated with dysbiosis in MS, including Akkermansia and Blautia (Tankou 2018). Our Naturopaths use Visbiome with our MS patients after we perform stool analyses.

January 2020

141 MS patients and 44 control patients were assessed for EBV, HHV-6 and CMV virus antibodies. There was a higher probability of EBV and HHV6 antibody presence in patients with MS compared to that in the control group (Czarnowska 2018). Our Naturopathic Doctors screen for Herpes Family infections in our Edmonton MS patients via blood tests. 

February 2020

Baikal Skullcap was studied in the Cuprizone model of MS. It was found that Baicalein (active substance) was beneficial for protecting oligodendrocytes and neuronal axons from excessive microglial activation and Baicalein has HHV-6 specific anti-viral activity (Hashimoto 2017).  We use Baikal Skullcap as part of our anti-viral protocols at our Edmonton Naturopathic Clinic.

March 2020

Two human endogenous retroviruses part of the W family of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV): MS-associated retrovirus (MSRV) and ERVW-1 that encode for MSRVenv and Syncytin-1proteins which are pro-inflammatory and superantigenic and both have been suggested as cofactors triggering the immuno-pathogenesis of MS (Dolei 2017). We at TruMed are starting to consider HERV for our MS treatment protocols.
