"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open." -- B. K. S. Iyengar Dr. Candice Staniek (ND) is a huge advocate for health and wellness as she recognizes that health is at the centre of every activity of life. Naturopathic medicine has 6 core principles: 1) first do no harm 2) the healing power of nature 3) treat the cause 4) doctor as teacher 5) treat the whole person and 6) prevention. Underlying these core principles is the belief in the VIS (veece); the body’s innate ability to heal. Dr. Candice (ND) has studied over 800 hours in natural medicine modalities, which includes: nutrition, counselling, physical medicine, herbal medicine, and homeopathy. She has extended visits which allows her to gather information about the patient’s progression of symptoms which helps to information a customized treatment plan. The primary focus of her practice is with professional & entrepreneurial women between the age of 35 to 55, who are suffering from fatigue, hormone imbalances, infections, or mood imbalances, such as anxiety or depression. But obviously, it is not limited to women only, and everyone is welcome. Naturopathic doctors strive to identify the origin of the problem and create a holistic approach for the patients. Dr. Candice (ND) provides in-person services, where individuals would go through their detailed history and physical exam. Further diagnostic testing is conducted through laboratory testing which includes hormones, food sensitivities, vitamin D testing to name a few. Dr. Candice (ND) advises entrepreneurs to honour themselves and consider the importance of their health to all areas of life: "As a solopreneur, we're trying to do all things. Sometimes that means we might put ourselves last. I would encourage individuals to get enough sleep and to de-stress so that they can provide their services and mission to the best of their ability." |
