I am in my mid twenties and for the last 4 years I have had a lot of fatigue. I had met with my…read morefamily Dr. on a few different occasions to talk with her about it, she helped by changing some prescriptions and trying some supplements. That just didn't seem to help the problem. so I decided to seek out someone who may be able to help me in a natural way, that was when a friend recommended Dr. Gaul. I was told by my friend that it was tough to get into see her, but when I called it was only a week wait. So that seemed like a good start to me! The receptionist sent me a 16 page client information form to fill out. It felt like I was writing a book about my life, everything from dental work to what my fears are! It was definitely the most in depth form I have or probably will ever fill out! I faxed it back to the office so that the Dr. had time to review it before our appointment. Finding the office was a bit difficult, the sign is hard to see. So I ended up parking a couple blocks away and walking to find it. There is a parking lot for the building, which I recommend using. The office is nice and dim, I felt very relaxed sitting in the waiting room. They have a little play area for kids. There is also lots of information around about the therapies they do at the clinic. You can even sign out some of the books they have. It was very quiet when I was there, I'm pretty sure I was the only patient. Dr. Gaul is very friendly, she introduced herself and we went into her office to chat. We talked for about an hour, going over my forms. At the end she seemed pretty confident she knew what the issues where and explained to me what she thought. She took me into another room to do an autonomic response test, which I can't really explain. She was testing the response of my organs, pretty much. After the test she talked with me about the recommended treatment and plan for the next 4 months. I can not say enough about how nice it was to have someone listen to me, I didn't feel like I was crazy for not having a physical illness causing my problems! I felt so comfortable with Dr. Gaul, she was very conversational! As a follow up I returned after my 4 months and my fatigue was still an issue. I had improvement in other areas of my health so I knew something was working. She did another test on me, this time related to emotional storage. She told me that she had never seen so many conflicting issues on all levels as I had. That kinda threw me for a loop! She chatted with me a bit, explaining what that meant and perhaps why I would have that going on. It began to make sense to me. She started me on a homeopathic treatment, layer by layer. She again seemed confident that we would sort things out soon. I have started the treatment and have been on it for 2.5 months now. It was a rough start, I was an emotional wreck for a few weeks, but I can honestly say that I feel better! I do really feel that after 4 years I am on the right track! All thanks to Dr. Gaul! The appointments are quite pricey, almost $300 for the initial visit, so this is an investment in ones health. Its not like you go back every month, so in retrospect it isn't bad. The supplements and homeopathic remedies are another expense, approx $50-75 a month for me, which I know could be worse. I highly recommend that people like me, who are starting to feel lost or like you are stuck, in regards to your health, should give Dr. Gaul a chance to help you. I myself know it was a good decision, maybe it will be for you too!

Most importantly to me, Dr. Allissa was there for my both my parents when they were in serious health difficulties. From a distance even, she was still able to prescribe gentle treatments that greatly improved quality of their lives. They have both passed now at 89 and 90. I am so grateful to her.

Dr. Kimberley encouraged me to take some extra lab tests (blood, saliva) so we could be certain about what may be causing my symptoms. I have gone to other naturopaths who do little more than guess at the cause of symptoms (for example, one naturopath treated me for candida overgrowth, but the blood test I did with Dr. Kimberley shows my candida as healthy). This ensures that I am spending my time and money focused on the right things to get me feeling great! I'm feeling better than I have in years, and this is primarily due to diet.

A few months back, my husband told me he wanted to see a Naturopath. He was diagnosed with SIBO…read moreearlier this year and has chronic stomach issues. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease years ago and my villi have not grown back despite a strict Gluten Free diet. Neither one of us had ever seen a Naturopath before, due to the old stigma around naturopathic medicine. After having such bad experiences with Doctors and feeling hopeless, we both decided to give it a shot. After lots of Google research, I came across Dr. Lindsay Irwin at Marda Loop Naturopathic and Wellness Clinic. When I first called to book my husband's appointment, I spoke with Layle. She gave me an excellent first impression of the clinic, and patiently answered my many questions. Whenever I have spoken with Layle to book appointments since, she's been very kind and genuinely cares about how you are doing. Our Doctors really gave Layle the run-around to get copies of our Lab Results, but she was determined to help us. We really wanted to get Dr. Irwin's second opinion and find out what she thought would be the best measures to take to improve our health. We can both honestly say that Dr. Lindsay Irwin has changed our lives for the better! After our first appointments, we were both blown away by her Clinical knowledge. Also, I have never met a better listener in my life. I had gotten so accustomed to dismissive Doctors with the attitude that they know everything. Dr. Lindsay Irwin listens, she believes you, she cares, and she gives you hope. You don't just have to learn to live with your diagnosis, imagine that! There's things that you can actually do to improve your chronic conditions and isn't some hogwash medicine. For treatment that actually works, go see Dr. Irwin, and she'll change your life too!

This was my first visit to a naturopath. I can't remember the name of the doctor but this clinic is…read morecompletely licensed and was covered under my medical benefits at work. I only had an initial consultation where I spoke for an hour with the naturopath about my daily life, diet, and such. She performed some "natural' tests on me and then spoke with me afterward on what she found. I had a couple qualms with my appointment. The first was that she asked me what I was concerned about in my diet. I replied with possibly caffeine, gluten, and dairy. When she was done her tests, she recommended that I cut down on my caffeine, gluten, and dairy intake. It seemed like I was just being fed back the info I had told her. Also, this clinic does not do blood work and will send to you another clinic to have an allergy test done. This meant that my benefits would not cover the expenses of this test. There are lots of other naturopathic clinics that will do this test in house, making it more convenient and possibly free, depending on your health care coverage. Overall, it was an okay experience but I would try another clinic next time I want to see an naturopath.

I started seeing Dr. Hoffman in the spring of 2015. It is now almost 2017. I have my life back. I…read moream hopeful and optimistic for the future and I know my health and future is in MY hands thanks to choosing Dr. Hoffman to be my partner in my health. I suffered through horrible digestive problems no matter what I ate, very low energy to the point I could barely get out of bed, poor sleep, low immunity, random nerve pain, stubborn weight gain, foggy brain, and more, all of which affected my ability to work and live a normal life. When I would get sick I was sick for a month and could not recover from a simple cold. I was SO VERY TIRED and sick. Conventional doctors (who do have their place), did not help me. I wanted my hormones tested as well. With a fight, I finally got the testing but I was told there was nothing wrong with me and I should change my attitude. I was dismissed was mocked for trying to resolve my issues with diet and lifestyle. Unhappy with that, I researched more. I started seeing a naturopath then a homeopath who did help, but only very slowly and marginally with a wait-and-see approach by doing one test at a time, which I didn't have time for: I want to eventually be healthy enough to have a child, and I didn't know what hormonal issues I had. I needed know what was wrong with me yesterday. I found Dr. Hoffman though the IFM. Finally someone believed me, wanted to test me PROPERLY, understood nutrition, praised me for all the research I had done on my own, not mocked me by warning me against the dangerous advice of "Dr. Google". He doesn't push any beliefs, he TESTS first, and will never make any recommendations before testing to see what YOUR individual needs are. Gut, functioning, inflammatory markers, nutritional, antioxidant deficiencies, improper functioning, blood markers, entire hormonal system, stress levels, environmental factors, heavy metals, brain patterning, which is addressed with bio/neuro feedback training of the parasympathetic nervous system. He is like Dr. House - he WILL figure out your big health mysteries. He actually cares about his patients, taking files home to research and study. He spends his own time and money to go to conferences around the world by international experts on the leading edge of medicine. He is beyond just a doctor. He's generalized, specialized and fully integrated in so many things, he's like going to several specialists without referrals or waiting months for answer, or hoping that these specialists would have a meeting about you and just talk to each other. There's no wasting time going to several doctors hoping for progress. Time is something we can not get back and he never wasted mine. He got to the root of the CAUSES of what happened to me. Dr. Hoffman does't just give you a one time solution until the next time - he will give you the answer for all your life. I can speak with confidence about health issues. Now I actually know how to heal myself now and don't have to be reliant on Dr. Hoffman as I was in the beginning. Your homework he gives you is the easy part - because the hard work is done more than 16 hours a day in the brilliant mind of Dr. Hoffman, who unravels your health mysteries and gives you a chance to live to the fullest again and get your energy back like when you were young. None of my healing could be done without me realizing that IT'S ME who is in control of my health, IT'S ME who is the CEO of my body and future and I wisely chose an excellent doctor who understands that this is a partnership and an investment - and there is no greater investment than in your health. It's not fair that provincial health won't cover this, but there's no time to waste complaining about it. Because you can't get time back and they won't do anything about it in our lifetimes. This is clinic is pioneering in medicine. And because your money making potential is unlimited, it's always there and only limited by your choices about your life and health. I have hope our children will have this kind of medicine covered but for now it's up to us and it's Dr. Hoffman who is making my ability to have children possible by fixing the hormones to have them naturally, and my energy levels to run after them. Now I will not have to spend money on fertility treatments or procedures and still have a sick body. Now because of him I get the whole future opening up for me. That's priceless to me. He was and is still worth every dollar and minute I spent there, and will never ever see a conventional doctor without functional medicine certification from IFM. Thank you Dr. Hoffman!!! A quick note about the staff - they are truly amazing! All of them. All the nurses, all the front house team, the clinic manager, and Brain Treatment Centre shout out to the very competent Corey and Liz!
