Nutritional Consultations

Looking for personalized, down-to-earth advice on how to eat better?
Wondering if that new diet is right for you? 
Confused about all the conflicting information and opinions out there?
Every month there seems to be a new diet, product, or super food that promises a slimmer waist, more energy, and the ultimate solution to your health woes. The truth is, there is no "one" perfect diet. What works for your neighbour, coworker or best friend may not work for you. 
 
If you are looking for personalized, down-to-earth and sustainable dietary advice Dr. Rothwell is now offering Nutritional Consultations. 
These hour-long visits focus entirely on diet and offer information, resources, and support for incorporating healthy diet changes into your life.

*No other naturopathic treatments will be recommended during this appointment
"Small sustainable changes are the key to lasting improvements in your health"

  • Individualized recommendations based on your health concerns, age, lifestyle, activity level, and dietary restrictions

​Food Sensitivity Testing 

Food sensitivities have been implicated in many chronic health concerns, including
  • Digestive disorders (IBS, bloating, constipation, heartburn, etc) 
  • Fatigue, brain fog 
  • Headaches and Migraines 
  • Weight gain 
  • Skin conditions (eczema, acne, hives, psoriasis) 
  • Inflammatory conditions  (autoimmune condition, arthritis, chronic pain) 
Unlike immediate allergic reactions (like hives, or an anaphylaxis peanut allergy) these food sensitivities can take hours or days to develop, making it very difficult to identify problematic foods and remove them from the diet. We test for food sensitivities using a simple and effective blood test that screens for over 120 different foods and provide you with a detailed report and analysis for your convenience.

Food Sensitivity Testing is only available to existing patients (Nutritional Consultation Visit or Naturopathic Medicine Visit)
