Naturopathic medicine in downtown Calgary

If you would like time to discuss ongoing symptoms, nutrition or lifestyle concerns, a naturopathic consultation can provide a structured starting point. At Endurance on 8th, the conversation begins with your health history, current concerns and what you hope to address.

What to expect at your first visit

Your naturopathic doctor reviews your symptoms, relevant investigations, medications, supplements and daily routines. An examination may be appropriate depending on your concerns. Bring any recent results and a list of medications and supplements so these can be considered together.

Discuss your options

Your plan may include nutrition and lifestyle guidance, discussion of naturopathic treatment options, or further assessment or referral. Ask about the evidence for each recommendation, expected benefits, possible risks, costs and alternatives. Treatment choices should reflect your needs and preferences, and can be reviewed as your circumstances change.

Tell your practitioner about all treatments you use. Natural products can have side effects and interact with medications, so coordination with your other healthcare providers matters.

Testing with a clear purpose

When testing is considered, discuss what question it would answer and how the result would influence your care. Explore our information about saliva hormone testing and food-related symptoms and testing, including their limitations. A consultation does not automatically require purchasing a panel.

Meet your practitioner

Dr. Shabnam Saran, Naturopathic Doctor, provides individualized naturopathic consultations. Contact the clinic to confirm her current appointment options and the service most appropriate to your concerns.

Booking and follow-up

Please contact our team to arrange a naturopathic consultation. Ask about appointment length, fees and any preparation before your visit. Coverage depends on your benefits plan and the service provided; confirm eligibility with your insurer.

Your follow-up plan should explain what you will work on, how progress will be reviewed and when additional medical assessment may be needed. Outcomes vary, and ongoing or worsening symptoms deserve appropriate medical attention.
