Naturopathic Services
Dr. Andreia Horta ND.
Welcome everyone to Foundation Physio’s Blog!
I am one of the new recruits at Foundation Physio, offering Naturopathic Doctor Services, which is covered by most corporate benefits plans.
First, I should probably tell you I have been in school for a long time. I did 4 years of Psychology, plus another year of Communications. After that, I went on to graduate from a 4 year program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Along with my years in academia, I have been active in the fitness world for over 16 years. Yikes! But so fun!
I am passionate about improving the quality of people’s lives. Further, I tell my patients often that our bodies are infinitely intelligent and with the proper support/tools optimal health and wellness can be achieved.
So what is Naturopathic Medicine anyways? What can a Naturopathic Doctor do for you?
Naturopathy aims to get to the root cause of disease versus having a symptom and treating it directly. A visit to a Naturopath requires a full history intake and assessment (where I may ask you to get some blood work done, allergy test, hormones checked etc). Then we begin working on your management and ongoing treatment plan. I am here to provide you with tons of education about your case and guide you on how to get better. But one key element is critical.YOU! Your compliance is key.
My goal is to support you along each step of your healing journey to optimal vitality.
I have had success with weight loss, stress relief, fatigue, anxiety, digestion, detoxification, smoking cessation and relaxation work.
