O ur Approach

A healthy body is designed to adapt to challenges in its environment.  These include exposure to harsh physical conditions, unhealthy diet, sleeplessness, emotional stress, chemical toxins, and acute illnesses.  The immune system, endocrine (hormonal) system, nervous system, detoxification and elimination systems, and circulatory system are all mechanisms upon which a body relies to stay well in the face of these challenges.  Since these all have to operate harmoniously to maintain health, they are recognized as one well-orchestrated system.  In naturopathy we call this system the “life force.”  When the life force is not equal to its challenges, disease sets in.

Our job is to stimulate optimal function of the life force and to identify and minimize those challenges as listed above.
