Spruce Grove Naturopathic Doctors

05/21/2020

As of May 20, 2020, our naturopathic doctors are now able to take appointments in office for new patients. We will be practicing with many new procedures including masks, strict disinfection protocols, hand hygiene, social distancing, and pre-screening surveys for staff and patients to ensure everyone's safety. Follow-up appointments will still be done through telemedicine (phone or video conference) whenever possible. If you would like to book an appointment, please contact the front desk at 780-962-2423 and the staff will be able to assist you. If you have any questions, please contact us at SpruceGroveNaturopathic@gmail.com

Due to the wide spread of COVID-19, we have had to close our clinic to all in-person appointments. Thankfully, we are able to treat our current patients via phone and video consultation. However, unfortunately we are unable to take on new patients using these telemedicine formats at this time. All potential new patients can call the clinic at 780-962-2423 and be added to a waitlist which will be scheduled when we are back in the clinic. For all current patients, staff members are still working hard at Back on Track, so continue to call the office to book follow up appointments as needed. If you have any questions, please contact us at SpruceGroveNaturopathic@gmail.com
We hope you and your families remain well and to help slow the spread of this virus. We look forward to seeing you and helping you with any health concerns you may have. Stay healthy!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Here's hoping you have plenty to be thankful for and are enjoying a healthy, safe, happy holiday with your loved ones.

Have you got family members coming for a Thanksgiving dinner that have multiple food intolerances? Or are you one of our patients on a new diet plan and have been told not to eat gluten/dairy/eggs/sugar etc etc?? Check out these amazingly simple and delicious cookies. A really quick, easy (and healthy!) dessert to have on hand for the holiday weekend in case you or your loved ones aren't able to indulge in the typical Thanksgiving options!

When I made them, I sliced up squares of unsweetened baker's chocolate to stick to my refined-sugar-free diet, because cookies always need chocolate!

Watch the video to learn how to make these Paleo, vegan, and gluten-free cookies.

Guiding patients through an elimination diet is one of my FAVOURITE things to do. I know that sounds crazy, but it is so empowering for people to finally pin point which food has been causing their bloating/headaches/acne/joint pain etc etc for all these years. It's a great start to many of our naturopathic treatment plans - and it's not as hard as it sounds! This does a great job of explaining the basics, but it's good to ask one of us for help designing your own individualized elimination and challenge plan. If it's not done right, you won't get much benefit out of it!

Ever wonder if a certain food causes your headaches or makes you tired or uncomfortable? You might try to find out with an elimination diet.
