Naturopathic medicine is a form of healthcare that aims to identify & treat the unique underlying imbalances that are causing your symptoms. While going to see your conventional doctor will help you when you are acutely ill or to diagnose a disease, working with a naturopathic doctor will get you above that “line of fine” to an optimal level of health. I’m sure you’ve had the experience of going to your doctor’s office with a problem, only to be told that “everything looks fine”. And that’s because from a disease or dying perspective, things are likely “fine”. But wellbeing is not about being “fine”, it’s about optimizing all aspects of your health from digestive, to hormonal, to brain and to immune. It’s about individualizing what health means to you. It’s about taking time to understand the whole person. It is personalized lifestyle medicine. 

By assessing the biological, psychological, and environmental factors impacting a patients health a naturopath can design an individualized treatment plan  targeted at the root causes of a patients symptoms. Treatment plans can include but are not limited to dietary and lifestyle interventions, targeted nutrient and mineral supplementation, botanical medication,  and IV / injection therapy. Naturopathic doctors also carry prescriptive authority and may prescribe pharmaceutical drugs when necessary.

Dr. Lovink — holds certification in Prescriptive Authority & Intravenous Therapy, which allows her to both manage & prescribe certain medication and administer intravenous nutrient therapy.
