If you’ve ever experienced a seasonal cold or flu - the kind that tends to freely circulate in fall and winter - then you likely have first-hand knowledge of how these inconvenient illnesses can lead to missed work, increased healthcare costs, and a period of feeling generally crummy.
In light of recent events, my clinical practice has fielded a growing number of questions from countless concerned patients, inquiring as to what can be done to reduce and prevent viral sickness. Fortunately, the modalities commonly utilized for centuries by naturopathic physicians have demonstrated a safe and efficacious track record for optimizing well-being by minimizing inflammatory conditions and promoting a nutritional fortitude that is critical for immune function. As such, through targeted nutritional interventions layered into a holistic and personalized action plan, individuals can feel confident they are doing everything possible to minimize disease risk.
As a nation, we are navigating the complex variables associated with a viral outbreak in the context of an unprecedented global pandemic. During this upcoming conversation, I will highlight the evidence and clinic success stories that clearly demonstrate ways disease and sickness can be minimized (if not prevented entirely), opening the door for the realization and optimization of one’s health and well-being. Learn how I curate each individual patient’s diet, nutritional status, hygienic practices and stress management supports to complement the patient’s unique needs and resources.
If there is any solace to be found in this tumultuous season, it is my hope that by sharing and promoting the benefits of preventative holistic interventions, we can highlight promising avenues that help to reduce sickness and disease for our patient populations.
