Digestive Dysfunction: Naturopaths are the masters of the digestive system. They see that maximal absorption is at the core of one's health. What is often under-diagnosed are disease conditions such as hypochlorydria, pancreatic insufficiency, food allergy/sensitivity, "leaky gut syndrome", and neuro-hormonal factors affecting the digestive system.

Blood Sugar Abnormality: Regulating blood sugar is essential to one's overall health. Diabetes and more subtle impaired glucose tolerance are highly overlooked. Changing one's diet with plenty of exercise and herbal supplements are highly effective at controlling blood sugar. Often, chronic musculo-skeletal conditions are due to an underlying blood sugar abnormality.

Adrenal Fatigue: In this fast paced modern society, stress is the #1 contributing factor in causing disease. The adrenals, or "stress hormone", is constantly being over-stimulated. The adrenals can compensate for a while, but it ultimately gets drained, resulting in "burned out" adrenals. Those who need adrenal support include people that are mal-adapted to stress or people that are in chronic unresolved disease states.

Thyroid Dysfunction: The thyroid hormone is very sensitive to the environment. In the United States, thyroid dysfunction is on the rise at an alarming rate. Because the thyroid is such an important hormone, naturopaths are always on the lookout for any signs and symptoms of thyroid dysfunction.

Female Hormone Dysfunction: The hormonal fluctuations of a women's cycle is complex and not very well understood. Naturopaths have great success in stabilizing hormonal fluctuations with natural therapies without much side effect.

Candidiasis: This is a systemic yeast infection that goes undiagnosed in many chronic disease states. The symptoms are generalized fatigue, irritability, mood swings, digestive discomfort, allergies, and chemical sensitivities. The diagnosis of candidiasis is not recognized by conventional medical doctors and thus the patients have to endure unnecessary suffering.

Environmental Toxicity: With an increase in the use of synthetic materials, our bodies are overburdened with toxic substances. Naturopaths are the leading experts in the art and science of detoxifying. Detox programs are an integral part of the overall healing process of leading the patient to optimal health.
