A great place to start is by seeing a naturopathic doctor. Naturopathic doctors have a very broad scope of practice and are experts in natural health and disease prevention. Naturopathic doctors are not only trained in medical sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, etc ) but also a wide range of treatment modalities (nutrition, lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine, Asian medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, etc). Here is a bit more info on some of those modalities: www.wavelengthwellness.com/therapies.html.

A naturopathic doctor can assess your current health and future health risks and work with you to create a plan to improve your health and prevent future illness.

I have many patients who may not have any major health concerns, but want to work on overall health and vitality and also want a primary healthcare practitioner they can turn to for acute illness as needed.
