If you’re overwhelmed with all the skin care information out there and feel stuck with your current skin care journey then a consultation with a Naturopathic Doctor is right for you. Individualized assessment and testing will provide insight to what is at the root of your concern – whether it be acne, eczema, psoriasis, or aging. You will be provided with a customized treatment protocol tailored to your lifestyle, concerns, and test results to provide your skin and body with the foundations it needs to get on track to reaching your goals.
Focus:
Discovery (75 minute initial appointment):
We will discover and uncover what is at the root cause of your skin concerns! Our internal health is often reflected in our skin, so we use this time to provide a thorough intake and identify which systems in your body require support and extra investigation through testing. Optimization of diet, hormones, gut health, and stress are essential to supporting your skin. You will leave this visit with a requisition to one (or more) tests that may include – blood/serum testing, DUTCH test, Food Sensitivity Testing or Microbiome Testing.
Follow Up Appointments:
Once your test results are in, your Naturopathic Doctor will provide you with an individualized plan based on what they find, your concerns, and your health history. They will work to optimize your digestion, stress, and hormones so that your skin can be given the foundation it needs to be healthy and happy. The plan will be different for everyone, but can include a variety of personalized lifestyle, dietary, botanical, and supplement recommendations.
Ongoing Help With Nutrition and Lifestyle Optimization
Changing your diet and lifestyle can sometimes be challenging, so we want to provide you with the support you need to successfully integrate diet and lifestyle changes into your routine! We will provide you with the support and solutions you need so you can sustainably make changes that will benefit your skin and your health!
As this is ongoing we will re-evaluate your gut, stress, hormones, and of course, your skin as we move forward and tweak areas as they come up. We will identify if any changes need to be made to your current plan to further support certain systems or to enter a more sustainable maintenance phase of treatment.
Follow ups will be recommended on an individualized basis depending on how we can best continue your care based on the momentum you have built.
We are so excited to be offering options to further support your skin’s journey. As important as it is to focus on treating from within, dermatology treatments can speed up the healing of your skin and provide additional benefit. There are three add on skin treatments which can be incorporated into your plan based on your goals and preferences.
Naturopathic Doctors are able to investigate and uncover important areas in your life that can be tweaked and treated to help you with skin issues that go way beyond how you wash your face and what lotions you wear.
