But it is multifaceted and should be approached as such: lifestyle, sleep, purposeful activity, reducing inflammation- all these are huge contributors as well.

Is stevia recommended for diabetics?
Stevia does not influence blood sugar levels or insulin like regular sugar does, so stevia is generally preferred for people concerned with managing blood sugar. It is natural, from a plant. You can pick it right off the stem and crush it into baking ingredients, teas, coffee, etc. READ MORE
My father has been diagnosed with IBD. Do you think naturopathic treatment may help him?
I think there are many benefits to combining functional medicine approaches with conventional therapies. Functional medicine can certainly investigate more broad modalities of treatments that may be available to help with stomach/intestinal/digestive concerns. Generally, Naturopathic Doctors review all systems of the body and create support based on a holistic approach including diet, lifestyle, etc. it can be a very powerful and useful tool. READ MORE
