Question 1

What evidence-based methods do you use in naturopathic care?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

At Naturally Inclined Health, evidence-informed care guides every stage of our clinical process, from assessment and diagnosis to treatment planning, patient education and follow-up. Our naturopathic doctors draw on current scientific research, clinical experience and each patient's circumstances, values and goals. We critically evaluate the quality of research, consider its limitations and communicate honestly about what is well established, what is emerging and where uncertainty remains. Recommendations may include nutrition and lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, botanical medicine or other therapies as appropriate. We help patients navigate the full range of options, including conventional medical treatments and prescription medications, by discussing the evidence for their benefits, risks and potential interactions. We collaborate with other healthcare professionals to support safe, coordinated care. For us, evidence-informed practice means continually questioning and updating our knowledge, allowing the quality of evidence to shape our recommendations and being transparent when answers are not yet clear.

Question 2

How do you support patients with complex health concerns?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Living with complex health concerns can be overwhelming. Patients may be navigating multiple diagnoses, persistent symptoms, numerous treatments and recommendations from different healthcare providers. Knowing where to begin can be difficult. At Naturally Inclined Health, we start by taking the time to understand the full picture. Through comprehensive assessments, careful review of medical history, medications and investigations, and thoughtful conversations about each patient's experiences and priorities, we work to identify what matters most and where to focus our efforts. Every patient is different, so there is no single approach to complex care. We help break down complicated health concerns into manageable steps, establish realistic priorities and develop individualized plans that can be adjusted as needs change. Collaboration is often essential. We work with other healthcare professionals, coordinate care when appropriate and advocate for our patients as they navigate the healthcare system. Our goal is to help patients make sense of their health, feel less overwhelmed and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and support.

Question 3

How long does a follow-up consultation take?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Follow-up consultations typically range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on each patient's needs and the complexity of their health concerns. Appointment lengths are recommended based on what needs to be addressed, where patients are in their care, and the time required for a thorough assessment and discussion. Our priority is to ensure patients have adequate time and support to address their concerns, review their progress, and make informed decisions about their next steps.

Question 4

What qualifications and registrations do you hold in Edmonton?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Naturopathic medicine is a regulated health profession in Alberta under the Health Professions Act. Our practitioners are registered with the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta (CNDA), which establishes professional standards, ethical requirements and continuing competency expectations. Our team has completed formal naturopathic medical education and pursues additional training in areas relevant to their clinical practice. Founder Dr. Amber McKinnon, ND, holds the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) credential. Our practitioners are also actively involved in professional organizations and continuing education at provincial, national and international levels, including organizations such as the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, The Menopause Society, the International Menopause Society among others. We believe ongoing education, professional accountability and engagement with the wider healthcare community are important parts of providing responsible, evidence-informed care.

Question 5

Do you offer virtual or online naturopathic consultations?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Yes! Naturally Inclined Health offers both secure video and telephone consultations, making it easier to access care from the comfort of your home, office or wherever you may be in Alberta. We've made our virtual appointments as simple as possible. For video consultations, patients receive a secure link to their appointment. Simply click the link at your scheduled time, enter your name and you're ready to connect with your naturopathic doctor. There's no software to download, no account to create and no need to be particularly tech-savvy! Virtual appointments offer the same thoughtful, personalized approach to care as our in-person visits. Your naturopathic doctor will help determine when a virtual consultation is appropriate or when an in-person assessment may be needed. For privacy and security, we use a secure healthcare video platform to support confidential consultations. In accordance with Alberta's regulatory requirements, virtual naturopathic consultations are available to patients who are physically located in Alberta at the time of their appointment.

Question 6

How do you ensure treatments are safe for each patient?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Patient safety is central to how we practise at Naturally Inclined Health. Before recommending treatment, we take time to understand each patient's medical history, current medications and supplements, allergies, relevant investigations and individual risk factors. We consider possible interactions, contraindications and the quality of evidence supporting each option. We discuss potential benefits, risks and alternatives so patients can make informed decisions about their care. Treatment plans are monitored and adjusted as health needs change, and we collaborate with or refer to other healthcare professionals when appropriate. As regulated naturopathic doctors, we take our professional responsibilities seriously. Our team participates in ongoing education and follows professional standards established by the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta. We also maintain emergency equipment, training, and written response procedures, which are regularly reviewed. Our goal is to make safety an ongoing part of every patient's care, from the first assessment through every follow-up.

Question 7

How much does an initial naturopathy assessment cost in Edmonton?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

The cost of an initial naturopathic assessment varies depending on the practitioner, appointment length and nature of the health concerns being addressed. Our initial consultations are comprehensive, allowing time to review your health history, explore your concerns and goals, assess relevant medical information and begin developing an individualized plan of care. Appointment fees reflect the time involved, the practitioner's experience and additional training, and the complexity of the assessment. Certain appointments, such as integrative oncology consultations, may require additional time and preparation. We believe in being transparent about our fees so patients can make informed decisions about their care. Our Patient Care Coordinators are happy to explain appointment options, associated costs and any reduced rates that may apply before booking. Please visit our website or contact our clinic for current pricing information.

Question 8

How does naturopathy support preventive healthcare?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Preventative care is a cornerstone of naturopathic medicine. At Naturally Inclined Health, we work with patients to understand their current health and identify opportunities to reduce future health risks. Through comprehensive assessments, we consider personal and family medical history, lifestyle, existing health conditions and other risk factors. We use appropriate screening, laboratory testing and ongoing monitoring to identify early changes that may warrant attention, sometimes before a condition becomes clinically apparent. Lifestyle medicine plays a central role in prevention. We work with patients on evidence-informed strategies involving nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management and other factors that influence long-term health. Our goal is to help patients understand their individual risks and make informed, achievable changes that support their health over time. Preventative medicine cannot guarantee that disease will be avoided. Our focus is on identifying modifiable risk factors and using evidence-informed strategies to help reduce risk and support long-term health.

Question 9

What lifestyle recommendations are included in naturopathic care?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

Lifestyle medicine is an important part of our approach. Recommendations may include clinical nutrition counselling, physical activity and movement, sleep optimization, stress management, emotional wellbeing, and strategies to support healthier habits and daily routines. Our recommendations are highly individualized, taking into account each patient's health concerns, circumstances, preferences and goals. We recognize that meaningful change looks different for everyone and that what is realistic or helpful at one stage of life may be different at another. Our practitioners also have additional training in counselling and behaviour change strategies. We work with patients to identify barriers, build practical skills, set achievable goals and develop approaches that fit into their lives. Ongoing support and adjustments help patients navigate challenges and build sustainable habits. We believe the most effective lifestyle recommendations are those supported by evidence, meaningful to the individual and realistic enough to put into practice.

Question 10

How many wellness activities are recommended for a healthy lifestyle?

Naturally Inclined Health · Accepted Answer

There is no single number of activities or healthy habits that everyone needs to follow. Good health is influenced by many factors, and the changes that will make the greatest difference depend on your current health, circumstances and goals. We recognize that making healthy changes can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly when you're already balancing work, family, health concerns and other responsibilities. We help patients identify where to focus their efforts, understand which changes are supported by the evidence, and develop a realistic plan. Sometimes that means working on one small habit at a time. Other times, several areas of health may benefit from attention. We also recognize that priorities change. What works well today may need to be adapted as life and health circumstances evolve. We aim to help patients build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make meaningful changes at a pace that works for them. Progress matters more than perfection.
