Weight Loss Treatment

Our Naturopathic Approach to Weight Loss is Different

As naturopathic doctors we take your whole health into consideration. While we work with you to achieve your ideal weight, we will also determine if other risk factors are negatively impacting your health and work with you to reduce these as well. We are prevention experts and we care about helping you to feel better, while also helping you to reduce your risk factors for various diseases so that you feel better longer.

Treat the underlying cause.

In many cases, weight gain is simply a matter of energy imbalance – more calories consumed than expended. However, if you have tried dieting and exercising or other weight loss programs and nothing seems to work, there may be other underlying factors to consider. For instance, liver dysfunction and lymphatic blockage are common problems encountered in people struggling to lose weight. A naturopathic doctor will work with you to determine why you are struggling with your weight.

Our unique approach to evaluating each individual.

At Vancouver Holistic Health, we collect over 500 health indicators through a combination of personal history, physical exam, biochemical assessment (a comprehensive 65-point laboratory blood and urine analysis), and an in-depth computerized nutritional analysis to provide you with a complete picture of what is going on in your body at the biochemical/cellular level, as well as how your general health and nutrition may be impacting your efforts to lose weight.

Did you know:

• A lack of certain vitamins and/or minerals can disrupt your metabolism and sap your energy, not only causing you to gain unwanted weight but also making it more difficult to exercise as often as you may want to?
• Hormone imbalances can cause you to carry excess weight due to a slowing of your metabolism and/or an increase in water retention?
• Food intolerances can cause bloating and water retention that can prevent you from achieving your desired weight/shape?
• Liver congestion is often overlooked, but is an important regulating metabolism in detoxification during weight loss.

The naturopathic doctors at our clinic have the tools to determine if these or other imbalances are causing you to struggle with your weight. We also have a variety of natural approaches to help you rebalance your body and achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
