Treatment Options
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am a primary care physician. What does that mean?
This means that I can run your routine bloodwork, do your PAP exam, take your blood pressure, diagnose your health condition, offer treatment, and monitor your health over time. This also means that I can be your sole medical provider should you not be able to find a family physician.
Research shows that patients have better health outcomes with a comprehensive healthcare team. This means that you do not have to choose between an ND and an MD. Naturopathic Doctors, Medical Doctors, and other healthcare professionals all offer unique expertise and it can be very beneficial for you to see multiple professionals concurrently.
Naturopathic Doctors excel in preventative care, and treating the root cause. Using these modalities below, we have helped to treat hundreds of patients and helped them heal.

FAQs
What is the difference between a naturopathic doctor and a functional medicine doctor?
A Naturopathic doctor is a regulated health professional in Saskatchewan and across Canada. Functional medicine doctors are most commonly medical doctors who have an interest in alternative medicine - but technically, that term is unregulated. So, Dr. Larissa Wheeler does practice naturopathic medicine, the original functional medicine and is committed to providing exceptional holistic healthcare in Regina, and in Saskatchewan.
Can naturopathic doctors prescribe hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) ?
In Saskatchewan, no naturopathic doctor is able to prescribe pharmaceutical hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, Dr. Larissa Wheeler has completed The Menopause Society's course on menopause so has vast experience on the up to date research on all things menopause and perimenopause. She also offers comprehensive hormonal testing for both female and male patients to help guide her treatment. Beyond HRT, there are many treatments that can make significant impacts on perimenopause/ menopause, PCOS (PMOS), endometriosis, PMS, and fertility. Dr. Larissa is currently accepting new patients for women's health and hormonal consultations.
