Naturopathic medicine is about respecting the body’s intelligence. Every symptom you experience is your body’s way of telling you that you are doing something to cause imbalance. If you continue to ignore your body’s messages you will spiral farther down the slope into chronic disease. By choosing to follow the appropriate diet and lifestyle plan for your body, decreasing stress, and nutritionally supporting your weak areas, you can achieve optimal wellness.
