Our NEX Wellness naturopaths in Burlington offer a comprehensive approach to health care for you and your family.
If you have not seen a naturopath in Burlington before, you may have many questions about the type of care you will receive, what kinds of conditions can be treated by naturopathic medicine, as well as the qualifications of a naturopath in the city of Burlington.
Naturopaths combine the healing wisdom found in nature with the rigorous scientific approach of modern medicine. They focus on the whole person — mind, body, spirit and environment — with the goals of proactive prevention, and treating the root cause of illness rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Naturopaths treat all medical conditions and work with individuals and families of all ages and stages, with a focus on lifestyle changes to help empower the patient to heal. The tools that a naturopath uses include: comprehensive understanding of health history, laboratory assessments, clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling, and natural medicines including nutritional supplements, herbs and homeopathic remedies.
Naturopathic medicine is ideal for you if:
Naturopathic medicine is fully recognized and regulated as a health profession in the province of Ontario. A naturopath has completed four years of pre-medical undergraduate training, followed by four additional years of naturopathic medical training at an accredited naturopathic college (there are 7 across North America), leading to the completion of licensing exams before being able to practice. While OHIP does not currently cover naturopathic services, most extended health insurance plans do cover visits to licensed naturopathic doctors.

The GSH (Glutathione) antioxidant system is the body’s powerhouse for diffusing and disposing of free radicals that threaten cell, tissue and organ damage, thus slowing the approach of aging. Age-specific decreases are seen in all tissues, including the liver, kidney, heart, spleen and brain. This increases the risk of disease and impairment.
IV nutrients achieve serum concentrations that are not obtainable with oral or even intramuscular administration. Due to saturation of intestinal absorption and an increase in clearance by the kidneys oral dosing reaches a limited concentration in the blood. Delivery by IV administers a plasma level of the nutrient almost 10 times that of oral. These doses are desired to have a more rapid effect. For instance, the acute antiviral effect of vitamin C has been demonstrated at a concentration of 10 to 15 mg/dL. This is a level that can only be obtained by an infusion.

In addition we test for inflammatory markers (ESR, hsCRP, etc) or markers of immune dysfunction (abnormal Vitamin D ratios, elevated heavy metals, etc).
