WHY NATUROPATHY
WHY NATUROPATHY
Digestion – The Foundation of Well-Being
Food as medicine is an ageless tenet of health. But what your body does with that nutrition is also key. Digestive complaints are one of the most common health issues encountered by naturopathic doctors and include symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or abdominal pain. Naturopathy focuses on helping to restore balance to the digestive tract by removing offending foods, balancing the gut flora/microbiome, and supporting optimal digestive and eliminatory processes. Optimizing your gastrointestinal health is a cornerstone of overall wellness. Besides digestion, the gut contributes to a person’s overall health through the gut/brain axis, their immune system, and their microbiome.

Detoxification- Cleanse and Rejuvenate
Naturopathic doctors are keenly aware that toxins in our environment abound in our air, water, food and the products we use for personal care and cleaning – exposing our bodies to VOCs, pesticides, heavy metals, mold mycotoxins, parabens, and phthalates, etc. It’s up to our organs of detoxification (primarily liver and kidneys) to process these toxins so they can be properly eliminated, or toxic build-up can occur. Dr. Loewe can help patients optimize their detoxification through cleansing diets, binders and nutrition/herbal supplements, exercise/lymphatic/sweating, homeopathic drainage, environmental education on the elimination of toxins from your home, and more.
Weight Gain - Healthy Metabolism Restoration
Dr. Loewe’s approach to weight loss involves a holistic approach that will not involve the implementation of a fad or starvation diet. The calories in < calories out equation is an oversimplification of weight loss for some people. There are many factors, in addition to caloric intake and activity, that impact a person’s ability to lose weight in a sustainable and healthy way. Underlying factors that may have led to weight loss resistance include psychological stress, exercise and dieting history, hormone imbalance, the quality and quantity of sleep, and toxic chemical exposure. Naturopathic care can help to find solutions to the causes of these imbalances.

Hormones - Balance Your Life
The endocrine system is an intricate balance of regulatory pathways and when out of balance can lead to mood, energy, libido, sleep, metabolism and a myriad of other health consequences. Naturopathic doctors can support women in all phases of their reproductive cycle from preconception, perimenopause through post menopause, as well as assist men in their hormone balancing needs too. Hormone balancing can be achieved through a variety of naturopathic modalities including lifestyle and dietary recommendation, herbal and hormonal therapy, stress reduction techniques and blood sugar balancing.
Stress – Change the Way You Feel.
Naturopathic medicine can help individuals prevent and manage stress and improve well-being. Stressful times are more physiologically demanding. Naturopathic medicine looks for ways to support patients through stressful times or shift out of chronic mental and emotional stress by implementing healing nutritional and lifestyle measures, herbal supplements, homeopathy, relaxation techniques and positive psychology so you can rest and restore.
