Functional Medicine Testing
Dr. Bristow’s practice is a fusion between the art and science of Naturopathic Medicine. The art is in recognizing the messages from the body. Understanding where the imbalances are coming from by connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated symptoms.
I’m a firm believer in the
‘test, don’t guess
philosophy.
Part of the deeper dive into your health involves collecting objective data that may assist in a proper diagnosis, or influence and/or change our decisions on treatment. During our first visit we’ll discuss if further testing is advisable, our options available, and of course, costs.
Comprehensive testing through a naturopathic doctor is not AHS funded but is often covered by extended health care plans and health spending plans. Functional testing is completed via at-home or in-lab collection and is not impacted by virtual care. Some tests which are done in office can be scheduled during the visit if we deem it necessary for your treatment plan.
from my clients
“Dr. Bristow was a wealth of information and so kind and caring during the appointment. She explained everything in detail and I left feeling very informed and positive about my health and the methods we are going to use to make some great changes! Thank you”
— Carla F.
“The best naturopath I have seen in Calgary for my gut and sensitivity issues. She is a wealth of knowledge and really listens to your issues and concerns before she designs a treatment plan. All plans and supplements are accompanied by detailed research documentation. Again, I am so happy I found her as a naturopath as I have seen many over the past 20 years and none compare to her!”
— Janine W.
“Dr. Bristow is very knowledgeable and able to quickly pivot to other ideas that support healing if a particular method isn't working. I highly recommend her as a practitioner.
