Wellness & Preventative Medicine
Prevention is a key component of naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic Doctors empathize preventing disease, rather than just curing it. By focusing our attention on nurturing the whole person, inside and out, our attention shifts from the typical “putting a band-aid on the problem,” and moves toward finding the “root cause” of the problem.
Raye Naturopathic believes that understanding the physical, mental and emotional aspects of patients lives can lead to a deeper level of healing and health. This includes encouraging patients to be as proactive as possible about their chronic or acute health concerns with annual labs, quarterly health screenings, and blood tests and addressing all forms of wellness.
Wellness Screenings
The U.S. National Library of Medicine encourages both males and females to see their primary care physician regularly for check-ups to ensure their health is normal and under control. The following tables outline our screening recommendations. Book a call with a Dr. Ivory to understand which screening schedule is right for you.
