Illness, exhaustion, pain – these things do not “just happen”. There is always a reason for them. They are caused, and the causes of these conditions will differ from person to person. 

The team at Green Apple Health Care works to locate and target the core cause of the health problems with a program that is customized to each individual patient. We use naturopathic medicine to implement a simple, natural and preventative approach to help patients achieve their health goals.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a primary healthcare system that combines scientific knowledge with traditional natural forms of healing.

Naturopathic doctors address the root causes of health problems, rather than the symptoms, using natural therapies rather than drugs. By emphasizing the body’s natural self-healing process, a naturopathic doctor works with the patient to find the most appropriate treatment to improve their health.

What Training Do Naturopathic Doctors Receive?

Naturopathic doctors are highly trained.  They have a minimum of seven years post-secondary education, including a Bachelor of Science and a four-year Naturopathic medical degree.  

Some naturopathic doctors receive additional training that allows them to provide advanced naturopathic treatment options to patients.

Naturopathic doctors are licensed and regulated in Alberta by the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta.

Working with a Naturopathic Doctor 

A naturopathic doctor is a patient’s partner in healthcare. 

When people have health challenges, we clearly understand they are looking for solutions. The team at Green Apple Health Care focuses its treatment plans with outcome-based programs; we target the root cause of health concerns rather than the symptoms.  We practice Cause Based Medicine™ complemented with an overall positive patient experience.

We work with our patients to create treatment programs that not only work but that work for them.  A patient’s work and family demands and other life circumstances are taken fully into consideration when developing the treatment plan.  We know that a treatment plan not only has to work, but has to work for the patient. The focus is on you.  We will work with you to carefully construct a personal program that will address your needs, your health goals, and your lifestyle.

The team at Green Apple Health Care does not work in isolation from the rest of the healthcare community.  We are happy to work with other health care providers to create a fully integrated, patient-centered model of health for maximum treatment effectiveness for the patient.

Who Can Benefit from Naturopathic Medicine?

Many people have enjoyed the benefits of naturopathic medicine including those who:

• want to combine naturopathic medicine with conventional medicine 
• have symptoms or health conditions that do not resolve on their own   
• want to take effective steps to improve their health 
• want to resolve health conditions to improve their quality of life
  

Green Apple Health Care practices Cause Based Medicine™ which is the systematic process of finding and treating the core cause of health concerns by using a classic naturopathic approach combined with scientific research to optimize patient outcomes.

Our focus is cause-based.  We are relentless in identifying the root cause, the “why” behind the symptoms, and we address our treatment programs to the cause of the health condition, not the symptoms.
