Dr. Candice shares her thoughts on what wellness means to her, “wellness is at the center of everything we do, plain and simple.”
Naturopathic medicine is not a cookie-cutter approach. It is different from the 10- or 15-minute visit that you might traditionally get. Another thing to note is Naturopathic doctors receive over 800 hours of training and in natural modalities. Providing these doctors, a broad resource when it comes to diagnosing and providing treatment. This is ideal for those seeking an individualized treatment or plan.
Naturopathic medicine is based on 5 guiding principles;
· The Healing Power of Nature.
o Naturopathic doctors recognize and harness the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself in order to guide patients to wellness and total health.
· Identify and Treat the Causes
o Most naturopathic patients will benefit from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure.
· Doctor as Teacher
o Naturopathic doctors elevate patient health literacy. That means that NDs are part of the team helping patients have a better understanding of what it takes to be and stay well. Through education and a trust-based relationship, patients better understand the steps they need to take to achieve and maintain health.
· Treat the Whole Person
o Naturopathic doctors understand the interconnectedness of our body, our environment and our lifestyle on total health. It is only through this whole-person-based approach that NDs seek to restore balance and health.
· Prevention
o Naturopathic medicine affirms that it is better to prevent illness and suffering whenever possible. Through their comprehensive practice, NDs combine all six principles in order to identify potential areas of imbalance and teach patients how to get well and stay well.
“People want a doctor that will spend time with them. Naturopathic doctors spend about an hour or more on the first visit identifying the history and then making a treatment plan.” ~ Dr. Candice Staniek
Dr. Candice talks about the importance of being conscious of what we are consuming when it comes to our overall health. It is not just the food we eat that impacts our wellness it is what we watch, read, even the people we spend our time with.
When we were discussing redefining wellness, this is what Dr. Candice had to say, “I think the first thing that pops to mind is self-awareness. And again, this goes to every area of your life. I think that the self-awareness piece is huge. And I think it doesn't get enough emphasis in terms of how someone's doing.”
When we think about our overall health and wellness it is important to remember we all have a choice.
