Lifestyle, Nutrition and Weight Management Counselling | Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic

Lifestyle

Mental attitudes and emotions are important elements in overall health.  When treating illness and disease, lifestyle counselling – along with naturopathic therapies – can provide support for those with depression, fatigue, work-related stress, relationship issues and life transitions.  Your naturopathic doctor can help you maintain long-term health and wellness with a program that may include counselling, exercise and sleep recommendations, among other therapies.

Nutrition

A healthy diet, with the right balance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, fibre and amino acids is the most important tool for your body to manage stress and to prevent and recover from illness. 

Weight Management
