The DUTCH Test refers to our most comprehensive hormone assessment. This is our most frequently requested functional test. This test reveals estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels as well as their precursors and metabolites. With this information we are able to determine how much hormone a patient is making and if the levels are not optimal we receive insight into why. This helps us to treat the cause of hormonal imbalance. The DUTCH test is commonly used in irregul...ar cycles, PMS, peri-menopause and to guide Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in menopause. Other common reasons for testing include: difficulty losing weight, insomnia, high stress and optimal wellness. To book your DUTCH lab, please head to the link in our bio or call 604-734-7760.

Cupping therapy is a patient favorite at Noble. This technique involves using a cup with suction to pull the superficial tissues away from the deeper ones with the goal of improving blood flow, promoting healing and easing tension. Cupping is valuable for tight muscles and is most commonly used over knots in the muscles of the back. During the course of the treatment cups are placed in areas of tension and either left for a period of 3-5 min or gently massaged in the area t...he tension encompasses.

Naturopathic Doctors are experts in the use of herbs as medicine. Did you know that many of our common conventional medications were derived from herbs? The practice of herbal medicine involves using tinctures, teas, extracts (capsules) or topical applications to either support the body’s ability to heal or directly treat the condition. Common prescriptions can include complex herbal combinations or simply individual herb or extract dosing. This depends largely on the goal ...of the therapy and the patient’s prior experience with herbal medicine. Many herbs can interact with common medications and therefore it is important to speak with your Naturopathic Doctor before combining any herbs with any medications. To determine if herbal medicine is right for you please book a free 15 minute visit with one of our Naturopathic Doctors today through the link in our bio.

VR Therapy is one of our favorite ways to teach mindfulness. It is a big part of our holistic approach in the treatment of stress, anxiety and panic attacks. Here's how it works: - The Naturopathic doctor sets the patient up with a virtual reality device in the office (as part of a Naturopathic consultation). - The system is pre-set with a virtual environment geared toward applying lessons in mindfulness. The patient attempts these lessons in office while the Naturopathic d...octor guides them using their computer. - After completing the lessons for the day they review and set a practice schedule. Environments can be altered and adapted depending on patient needs and clinical indications. Duration and style of virtual reality therapy can also be adapted. Noble now also offers an at home maintenance program for practicing VR mindfulness at home. Contact us to learn more. Direct billing available. #noble #naturopathicmedicine #psious #virtualreality #stress #anxiety #health

So you’ve been told you have high cholesterol. What does that actually mean? The term LDL cholesterol refers to how much cholesterol is inside an LDL particle. This number is important however it has become clear that the number of LDL particles doing the work of distributing cholesterol is actually the more important number. This number can be measured as APOB100 (a protein that accompanies each LDL particle). If you have recently been tested in BC you may have seen Lifela...bs mention this test on your document. At Noble we love this one. In addition to a holistic heart workup it provides further detail enabling us to decide what exercise, lifestyle, diet and supplements are right for you. #heart #health #vancouver #naturopathicmedicine

We are almost one year into using VR Therapy for anxiety and depression at Noble! Teaching mindfulness through this device has been a successful and rewarding choice for Dr. Duizer and his patients. This Fall more than ever we have to take note of our mental wellness. Here are a few important considerations to take seriously: 1) exposure to light ... 2) exercise intensity, duration and frequency 3) enough nutrients, sleep, self-care time 4) external stressors (environment, people, triggers, etc) We need to ensuring the first three are met and the last is well tracked, evaluated and improved on over time. - Noble Naturopathic *we offer direct billing to extended medical plans #vancouver #vrtherapy #psious #noblenaturopathic #stress #anxiety #mentalwellness #naturopathicmedicine

It is difficult to know which type of exercise to start with on a weight loss program if you haven't done metabolic testing. The great thing about Noble's PNOE Metabolic test is that you are able to see at which heart rate (ie training zone) you are most efficient at burning calories. It is individual. We all burn differently. This is why most people choose this test when they are just starting a weight loss program with us, especially if they haven't tried it before. The d...ata we gain from the PNOE Metabolic test tells us how intense to train, how to train for fat loss, how to train for aerobic conditioning and how to improve our focus on heart and lung health during the weight loss program. Our ability to burn calories evolves as we train more and train differently. Fortunately, we can test when ever we need to. - Noble Naturopathic Please note: We offer direct billing to extended medical plans. We also offer "Naturopathic Estimates" to determine the amount of coverage available for each patient. #noblenaturopathic #pnoe #metabolictesting #vo2max #weightloss #vancouver #fairview #zonetraining #metabolism
