Naturopathic Care for Cardiometabolic Health in Coquitlam and Vancouver

Holistic Care for Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Are you struggling with diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)? These interconnected conditions can significantly affect your quality of life, but with the right care, you can manage your symptoms and improve your overall health. Dr. Grace offers a comprehensive, naturopathic approach to cardiometabolic health that focuses on addressing the root causes of these conditions, reducing risk factors, and supporting optimal heart, liver, and metabolic function.

What is Cardiometabolic Health?

Cardiometabolic health refers to the overall health of your heart, metabolism, and liver. Conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are interrelated and often arise from underlying factors such as poor diet, inflammation, stress, and genetics. Managing these conditions together is key to reducing the risk of more serious complications like heart disease, stroke, and liver damage.

Our Naturopathic Approach to Cardiometabolic Health

Our approach to managing cardiometabolic health is holistic and individualized, addressing the root causes of conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and NAFLD. We focus on balancing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, improving cholesterol levels, and supporting liver health through natural treatments.

Cardiometabolic Health Treatment Plan Includes:

  1. In-Depth Assessment and Testing: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and lab testing to assess blood sugar levels, cholesterol, liver function, and blood pressure. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan.

  2. Diabetes Management: For those with diabetes, we focus on balancing blood sugar through diet, exercise, and supplementation. Natural therapies like chromium, cinnamon, and berberine can support insulin sensitivity, while dietary recommendations focus on reducing glycemic load and promoting steady blood sugar levels.

  3. Cholesterol and Heart Health: Managing high cholesterol is critical for reducing cardiovascular risk. We provide natural options such as omega-3 fatty acids, plant sterols, and antioxidants to support healthy cholesterol levels and heart function. Dietary changes that emphasize healthy fats and fiber are also essential for cardiovascular health.

  4. Hypertension Support: High blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. We offer natural treatments like magnesium, CoQ10, and adaptogenic herbs to support healthy blood pressure. Stress management techniques and dietary changes can also play a crucial role in lowering blood pressure.

  5. Liver Health and NAFLD Support: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is commonly associated with metabolic dysfunction. Our treatment plan may include liver-supportive herbs like milk thistle, dandelion root, and turmeric, along with dietary changes to reduce liver inflammation and improve detoxification processes.

  6. Lifestyle Modifications: Exercise, sleep, and stress management are vital components of cardiometabolic health. We work with you to develop a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that supports weight management, reduces inflammation, and enhances metabolic function.
