There is really no such thing as a general "naturopathic diet". Generally naturopathic physicians recommend a diet based on whole, unprocessed foods, that is high in vegetables, fruits, fiber, and healthy fats, and contains adequate proteins. We generally recommend to avoid processed foods made out of processed sugar, flour, hydrogenated fats, preservatives and chemical additives. There are many ways to detox during summer, or any season, that would not leave a person dehydrated and weak. Naturopathic physicians tend to recommend diets, or detox programs that include plenty of hydration and nutrients, and will help a person to feel better, not worse. If you have tried a special diet or detox program that left you feeling not well, it may not have been a sound program, or it just wasn't the right one for you. I would recommend seeing a licensed naturopathic physician to get an individualized program that will benefit your health and leave you feeling vibrant and full of energy.

I have helped many patients reverse hair loss. A naturopathic physician will help you find the cause of your hair loss by taking a detailed history, reviewing your diet, supplements and medications, assessing stress levels, as well as ordering labs. Common causes of hair loss that I have seen in patients includes iron deficiency, hypothyroidism, other mineral deficiencies, medication side effects, and hormone imbalances. Sometimes hair loss is caused by an autoimmune condition. A naturopathic physician can help you figure out if your hair loss is from one of these or other causes, and help you reverse it by treating the cause.

Yes! Naturopathic medicine can be used to treat many routine, as well as more complicated health issues. Naturopathic medicine will help you find and treat the root cause of these issues, rather than trying to manage them with medications. I use this approach successfully with patients everyday in my practice. Patients are so happy to have a better understanding of what causes their symptoms and treatments that not only resolve their symptoms but contribute to improving their overall health and wellbeing.

Hi there!
Thank you for your question. Natural medicine and/or acupuncture can be very helpful for headaches and migraines. This is a case that I would not give general recommendations. Your mother would need a proper work up to help determine the cause of the headaches in order to establish an appropriate treatment plan. Acupuncture can be very successful at stopping headaches in the moment. I suggest finding a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, or integrative MD/APRN in your area so she can be properly worked up and have the best chance at a successful treatment plan. I assume because she is on medication she has seen her primary care physician. Her PCP should be made aware that her headache is not abating, so please be absolutely sure to follow up with them as soon as possible if you haven't already, even if you do schedule her with an acupuncturist or naturopathic physician.
Be well,
Dr. Krete
