NUTRITION
We live in a society of quick fixes, restrictive fad diets, detoxes, superfoods, and the ever-conflicting media reports on what we should eat. Depending on the day or the source, it often seems that everything in our fridge can either cure us or kill us. At Regina Naturopathic we focus on evidence-based eating patterns associated with lower risk of cardiometabolic disease and better long-term health. After your appointment, you will have a clear idea as to what you should eat and why. We will also review which, if any, natural health products (ie supplements), you may need.
FIND YOUR FIT
Exercise is one of the most effective tools for improving physical and mental health. Regina Naturopathic focuses on developing a healthy relationship with moving your body. We work the individual to customize the plan to increase aerobic capacity, musculosketal strength as well as balance and stablility.

LIFESTYLE SUPPORT
Advice such as 'eat healthy and get more exercise', is about as useful for improving health as 'buy low and sell high' is for getting rich. During your appointment, we look at the overall environment and conditions impacting your health. We explore stress levels, sleep patterns, social and family relationships, alcohol and smoking habits, and promote routine health screenings. We provide a template on how tiny habits coupled with consistency can provide meaningful improvents in healthspan.
We specialize in developing lifestyle plans to help optimize your habits around:
- what to eat
- how to get a restorative nights sleep (quality and quantity)
- what is the best form of exercise and how to avoid injury
- the importance of social connections
- which supplements you may benefit from, the evidence to support their use (or disuse) and the proper dosage
