Weight Gain
ABOUT
Weight Gain
Weight gain is a common issue for many people. With so many fad diet’s being advertised on social media these days, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain when trying to select the best way to lose weight. There are many reasons why a person may struggle with weight loss including: Poor digestion, hormone imbalances (male/female or thyroid hormones), stress, lack of knowledge regarding healthy nutrition practices and portion sizes, engaging in little to no exercise – or alternatively engaging in excessive overly intensive exercise – as well as blood sugar issues and insulin resistance.
Since there are so many potential issues, one size does not fit all when it comes to finding a plan that is best suited for you. Working with a Naturopathic Doctor can be very helpful not only because they will share their professional experience and advice, but they will also provide continual encouragement and accountability to support you throughout the journey.
Consider working with one of our experienced Naturopathic Doctors. We will ensure that you are on a safe yet effective road to success.
OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WEIGHT LOSS
A healthy diet and regular exercise are two important elements of a successful weight loss plan, but they are not the only ones. Other key factors include the identification of food intolerances and/or other digestive issues, mental-emotional concerns, as well as hormone imbalances. Identifying whether or not these play a role in your health, will not only go a long way to help you lose some weight, it will also help you to keep it off in the long run. In the initial appointment your Naturopathic Doctor will conduct a thorough hour long assessment targeted at discovering your individual road block(s) to success. By the second, you will leave with a holistic plan that focuses on correcting any root cause concerns, through effective nutritional recommendations, supplements and lifestyle changes.

TREATMENTS
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Once the core issues have been identified, your Naturopathic Doctor will formulate a treatment plan based on the most up-to-date information available regarding the best lifestyle and nutrition and supplement practices. This will include one or a combination of the following:
First line therapy nutritional plan
Are you feeling heavy, bloated and not at all comfortable in your own skin? If so, let us help you get your health back on track! It’s amazing how great you can feel when in a consistent routine that incorporates healthy food, physical activity and sufficient down time to recharge. However as many of us are aware, it’s not always easy to get to that good place. Sometimes we all need a helping hand and some accountability. The first line therapy plan is led by our Naturopathic Doctors. It is a practical and highly effective program that incorporates coaching and lifestyle modifications to help you reach and maintain your weight loss goals.
A cleansing and/or detoxification program
At KIH, the Naturopathic Doctors carefully assess each person and provide the best suited detox plan based on your main concerns, personal history, activity levels and current level of health. Some of the ingredients in commercialized, store bought cleanses can be harsh on the digestive tract and are not suitable for everyone. A monitored cleanse can offer numerous alternatives which are customized to meet your needs.
If a detox kit is not suited to you, it is a waste. A monitored approach by healthcare professionals will ensure that your cleanse is effective, safe and suited to your needs. Make an appointment with one of our Naturopathic Doctors and get started right away!
Stress management and lifestyle changes
Stress seems to be a part of our lives in many different ways. It is present at work, home, in our relationships and also brought on by life events. It’s true that some stress can be good, but when we are experiencing it in a few different areas of our life at once, it can be difficult to manage. We cannot always eliminate the circumstance causing our stress and at times it can become overwhelming, but lifestyle counselling can help teach the tools needed to get through these difficult times by providing an outlet to help us cope with the stress of everyday life and specific life events. With practice, and support we can keep our stress at healthy levels that keep us alert and motivated to face challenges.
