Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
As a Naturopathic Physician, I educate my patients and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship.
Treat the Whole Person
I treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, I encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual development.
Prevention
As your Naturopathic Physician, I always emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease, and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.
Regenerative Joint Injection (RIT)
Platelet-rich plasma utilizes the inherent growth factors found in platelets to increase natural cell growth and recovery from injury. PRP is autologous (derived from the same individual/patient) and uses a specialized process to separate the plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
The platelets are concentrated into the plasma and most RBCs and WBCs are removed, then the solution is injected into a joint or entheses (ligament attachment to bone). PRP is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for osteoarthritis and ligament injuries.
Prolotherapy, or proliferation therapy, is the use of dextrose injections to help increase normal cellular regeneration in a joint or the surrounding ligaments. By introducing an irritant solution to the attachments of ligaments to bones (entheses) or into the joint space it encourages the natural healing process of the surrounding tissues which strengthens the joint and restores stability.
Bio-Identical hormones
The balance of hormones affects your internal environment to a great extent. These hormones are ones we hear about in the news, from family and hopefully from our primary care physician.
The balance of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone affect our overall well-being and resiliency. Dr. Day utilizes bio-identical hormones to bring the body back into balance.
Whether you have PMS, irregular cycles, menopausal symptoms or symptoms of low testosterone. Bio-identical means structurally the same as the hormones naturally produced by the adrenals, ovaries or testes.
These are supplied to the body in a form that is safe and recognizable to your body.
Food Sensitivity Testing
If you have been concerned about your digestive health or if you know certain foods have been causing health concerns such as eczema, joint pain or brain fog then food sensitivity may be right for you.
The testing involves a finger poke or serum sample in office. The blood is sent to a specific lab which evaluates whether your immune system, immunoglobulin G or A specifically is reacting to a food protein using the ELISA method.
Dr. Day will then recommend an elimination and reintroduction of the food(s) which come back elevated, this is known as a tailored elimination diet and is the gold standard for food sensitivity evaluation.
Autoimmune Disease
Understanding that there are a multitude of factors involved in why you may have autoimmune disease is the first step in controlling symptoms and improving health. Some of the main ways we can work
with AI disease are through decreasing inflammation and infections (bacterial,
viral, fungal). Lab testing for food intolerance, allergies and stress response plays an important role as well.
Common (but not all) autoimmune conditions seen:
-
Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism
-
Ulcerative colitis
-
Crohn’s disease
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Lupus
-
Multiple sclerosis
-
Rheumatoid arthritis
-
Celiac disease
-

Psoriasis
Naturopathic Fertility
Naturopathic Fertility treatment blends innovative research and traditional natural remedies to treat individuals and to bring to light underlying causes of hormonal imbalance. It is important to address the reproductive organs as well as the interaction of the whole endocrine system on the body’s optimal functioning. Often there are underlying causes that are undiagnosed in individuals seeking fertility treatment. Naturopathic medicine is a model of whole person care that seeks out the underlying cause to make sure that each individual is seen and heard
To assess your body systems, such as your adrenal (stress) glands, ovarian function and thyroid lab orders or testing is provided at the first visit. There may also be at home saliva or urine tests to determine the missing pieces in your hormone story.
Fertility treatments will be different from one patient to the next, as we tailor them to your individual needs
PRP Facial Rejuvenation

Cancer Care
Dr. Day follows specific principles in regard to Naturopathic cancer care. Empowering patients
to make educated decisions regarding treatment options in a collaborative space. Utilizing history, lab tests, innovative genomic testing and imaging to assist with care. Determining the best options for support including: nutrition, supplements, pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, counseling, homeopathy, IV therapy, herbal medicine, etc. These tools are used in an evidence-based way and safely – without interfering with your current treatment. After cancer care - called survivorship, is also a large part of how Dr. Day can support you moving forward on your
journey towards optimal health and vitality.
Genomic Profiles
IntellxxDNA reports don’t make decisions for you. Instead, they provide unprecedented insight into your unique genetic make-up to assist Dr. Day in providing personalized care. How? Your DNA contains variants, or SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), that may signal potential benefits and risks that lie within your DNA and provide an actionable report. IntellxxDNA reports include evidence-based, well-researched potential intervention strategies – encompassing
environment, lifestyle, nutrition, supplements and medications – that will serve as a basis of
discussion between you and Dr. Day. There are 3 potential panels to choose from or a
combination or 2-3 depending on your health concerns.
