As the snow melts and the sun brings with it longer and warmer days, our bodies – sleepy and stiff, wake up from the winter months. Many people during this time experience exhaustion, bloating, indigestion and brain fog. This program has been developed to give your body and mind the tools to heal naturally so you can feel energized, renewed and optimized for the coming season.
Spring is a time for renewal, regeneration and growth. In with the old and out with the new. It’s the ideal time to nourish our bodies and minds and support the natural detoxification process – physical, mental and emotional. We are not focused on weight loss, but this program will put you on the right track to feeling good in your body and accomplishing whatever health goals you may have.
Over the 4 weeks of this Naturopathic led gut-mind cleanse you will receive:
- Weekly virtual meetings to discuss holistic cleansing, gut health and mindfulness meditation.

About the Gutsy Team:
Dr. Negin Sayar, ND is a licensed and registered naturopathic doctor with a primary focus on male
and female hormonal health, and gut health. She is a graduate of the Canadian College of
Naturopathic Medicine at the top of her class. During her internship, she was selected for the highly
competitive Oncology shift at the Integrative Cancer Centre where she received in-depth training
in adjunctive cancer care and naturopathic oncology from experts in the field.
Additionally, she holds a certificate in facial rejuvenation acupuncture. Prior to her naturopathic
studies, she obtained her medical degree from Shiraz University of medical sciences in Iran. She
then worked as a general practitioner in the hospitals and outpatient clinics where her passion for
holistic medicine was sparked.
Dr. Negin approaches each patient with an individualized and evidence-based plan. She believes
in being an advocate for her patients and empowering them to take an active role in every step of
their health journey. Her clinical philosophy is to work with her patients as partners and to establish
treatment plans and health goals as a team. Her number one priority in patient care is to foster a
respectful, compassionate, and caring environment where patient-doctor collaboration results in
creative, practical, and effective treatment plans that are unique to each patient. She employs
various treatment modalities such as acupuncture/traditional Chinese medicine, botanical
medicine, clinical nutrition (including nutraceutical prescriptions), counselling, cupping and
lifestyle modifications. She is committed to help her patients feel that their voice is heard, they are
actively involved in their own healing journey, and that they are supported throughout every step.
When she is not in the office, you may probably find her at her kitchen, recreating healthy recipes,
or on the hiking trails with her husband or perhaps sitting by her favorite window playing a hang
drum.
Dr. Negin is registered and in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. She is an
active member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND), the Canadian
Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), and the Oncology Association of Naturopathic
