When recovery stalls for longer than normal, or a condition becomes chronic, the body’s natural healing system and processes are not working as they should. All chronic and most acute conditions can benefit from treatment by naturopathic medicine. But you don’t have to be sick to feel better. Following a naturopathic protocol reduces the likelihood of suffering and chronic illness later in life.
One approach we emphasize is clinical nutrition—the relationship between diet and disease. Nutrition is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. Many medical conditions can be treated more effectively with dietary changes and nutritional supplementation than they can by other means. Often, chronic health problems that plague people today are the result of poor dietary and lifestyle choices. Illnesses such as diabetes, depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal problems develop as a consequence of the food we choose. By changing our diet and adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can often change or reverse the course of an illness and restore health.

Getting general health advice for children, teens, or adults is part of achieving optimal health. Patients who visited us when they felt they had exhausted their options were extremely surprised (and grateful) to find that naturopathic medicine relieved not only their symptoms but also helped to address the cause of their problems.
