FAQ

How is SIBO treated?

SIBO is treated by following a full regimen of natural gut restoration that will rebalance the bacteria levels in your small intestine. It typically involves a carefully planned diet as well as supplementary enzymes to support your recovery.

How can the digestive system cause so many health issues?

Your digestive system is one of the most important systems in your body, so it’s connected to just about everything. If it isn’t functioning the way it’s supposed to, then you could be short on nutrients, have a buildup of toxins, or other issues that affect parts of your body that seem like they have nothing to do with digestion.

What are natural treatments for insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome?

Insulin resistance can often be helped by addressing a few key areas of health such as diet, exercise and stress reduction techniques. A diet rich in low starch vegetables, little/no refined sugar, good protein and healthy fats is important to reduce your risk factors for developing insulin resistance. A Ketogenic Diet has been found to be the most impactful for metabolic syndrome, but also for diabetics who are currently on medications.

High stress spikes cortisol, blood sugar and insulin. Stress reduction techniques like yoga (and other exercise), meditation, breathing practice, clinical therapy, acupuncture, and massage therapy can all be beneficial.

Our naturopathic doctors will work with you to help you manage your symptoms, prevent diabetes (or treat existing diabetes), and get to the source of your insulin resistance through your own individualized treatment plan. It may include:

  • Specific dietary modifications –– eliminating food intolerances; increase in fibre, vegetables, fats and protein, decrease in starches and sugars; increase omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods; education and recommendation for a ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting.
  • Vitamins, minerals, enzymes –– may include chromium, vanadium, alpha-lipoic acid, B Vitamins, and others.
  • Botanicals –– such as devils club, gymnema, momordica, and milk thistle.
  • Exercise Guidance and recommendations
  • Stress reduction techniques, tools, and resources
How do I know if I have allergies or just a cold?

There are several symptoms to consider to ensure that you have allergies and not a cold:

  • You are sneezing in rapid, repeated sequences
  • Your nose, ears and throat (especially the roof of your mouth) are itchy
  • You do not have a fever or achy muscles
  • Your mucosal secretions are clear and runny
  • Your symptoms are lasting longer than 10 days

If you’re still not convinced, naturopathic physicians – commonly referred to as naturopaths – can perform skin or blood tests to confirm whether you are allergic to something.
