Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a comprehensive system of health care that focuses on finding the origin of body’s imbalance. Naturopathic Medicine incorporates traditional as well as the newest therapies to treat the underlying cause of the individual’s condition.
Naturopathic physicians design a therapeutic lifestyle for the individual and aim to prevent development of illnesses. They also provide treatments for acute and chronic conditions using individualized therapies. Naturopathic physicians have access to various tools such as laboratory assessments to determine the appropriate types of treatments.
Therapies
Dr. Sahabi treats her patients using the following naturopathic therapeutics:
- Hormone Optimization: Numerous studies in the past decade have demonstrated the safety of bioidentical hormones for the treatment of various conditions in men and women. Bioidentical hormones can be an effective therapy for conditions such as uterine fibroids, PCOS, menstrual irregularities and menopause-related concerns among other conditions. Replacing hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone) can function as preventive therapy for optimizing health and well-being. Dr. Sahabi has extensive training in BHRT and commonly incorporates it in the management of various health concerns.
- Nutritional and Orthomolecular Medicine: vitamins and minerals used as intravenous, intramuscular injections or oral capsules to support body’s various physiological functions.
