Clinical Nutrition
In naturopathic medicine, nutrition is the foundation of health. Food is medicine and it nourishes our bodies in more ways than we can count. A naturopathic approach to nutrition emphasizes mindful eating and personalized plans, that will always support your specific health goals.
Functional Lab Testing
“Normal” is not optimal. Naturopathic doctors are trained to look at labs differently than a conventional doctor. If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but continue to experience symptoms, you’re not alone. I am trained to look at where you are on that range, tell you where you might be headed, and discuss it in the context of your overall health.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical formulations support various health conditions, drawing on the powerful medicinal properties of plants. Herbal preparations come in the form of infusions, tinctures, topical balms/salves, and capsules.
Lifestyle Medicine
A preventative and therapeutic approach to medicine that focuses on using evidence-based lifestyle changes to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic diseases. Lifestyle medicine emphasizes root-cause healing through daily habits and behaviors. Dr. Sanika will discuss factors such as physical activity, stress management, sleep optimization, and healthy relationships.
Nutraceuticals
A combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, or other botanical extracts that support specific health outcomes. These include improved immunity, reproductive health, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, or digestive health.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda, a Sanskrit word that translates to “science of life,” is one of the world’s oldest whole-body healing systems. Ayurveda emphasizes personalized wellness through diet, herbal medicine, lifestyle practices, and detoxification tools. Having grown up with parents as Ayurvedic doctors, I have always been passionate about looking at health from an Ayurvedic lens.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
A specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating dysfunctions in the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor therapy involves personalized exercises, manual techniques, and education to address issues such as pelvic pain, incontinence, and musculoskeletal imbalances, sexual dysfunction, post-partum care, and promoting overall optimal pelvic health.
