Programs and Services
Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski’s Unique Proactive Health Care Programs:
The following programs have been designed by Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski to address your long term health goals. Each program is individually customized to your needs. Good health is a lifelong goal. It is important to pro-actively participate in your health strategies.
Prenatal Proactive Health Care Program:
The safest approach to a healthy baby.
The ideal time to invest in your child’s health is prior to conceiving because so many aspects of children’s health are determined at the moment of conception and during embryological development. If both parents work towards optimizing their own health prior to conception, they can have a dramatic impact on the genetic information they are passing on to their child, and on the intrauterine environment during pregnancy. A six to twelve month period of treatment may be recommended prior to conception.
Healthy Parent + Healthy Child= Happy Family Program:
Learn what you and your kids can do from the beginning to grow as a healthy family. What makes health so valuable and important is that it provides us with improved quality time and energy to spend with our families. A healthy child is important to every parent so they may learn optimally and grow to be well rounded adults. Healthy parents are essential to every family as their habits are passed on to the children through modeling; conversely, when a parent is unhealthy, it places serious stress on the other parent and the children, which compromises their health too. Lay the right foundation from the beginning and grow as a healthy family together.
My Natural Path Program:
Proactive health care solutions for each system in your body for each year of your life: because your choices matter.
Our health is a dynamic, changing thing. Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski ND seeks to establish a lifelong relationship with her patients, to address their ever changing needs. This program is for every patient and can guide you from where you are today to a state of your best health. A Proactive Health Care model is emphasized addressing spiritual, emotional, physical and mental aspects of health.
Seasonal Detoxification/Cleansing Program:
Using customized programs designed to improve your detoxification capabilities.
Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes that include the reduced intake of toxins and improved elimination. Normally our body creates toxins on a biochemical and cellular level. If these substances/molecules/toxins are not eliminated, they can cause irritation or inflammation in the cells and tissues, blocking normal function. This is when symptoms start to occur. Toxicity occurs in our body when we take in more than we can utilize and eliminate. Our body is well equipped to handle certain levels of toxins BUT the problem begins when there is an excess amount that our body can no longer eliminate. The effects that toxins have on our body depend on the dosage, frequency, or potency of the toxin. Through this program you will also learn what you can do on a daily basis to assist your body’s natural detoxification abilities while reducing your contact with toxins.

Weight management solutions that increase your muscle mass and melt your body fat. Whether you are struggling to shed some pounds, or to bulk up your frame, this program has the solutions!

A personalized program will be created for you, and provide the necessary tools to support you. Attaining and maintaining a healthy body weight reduces your risk for almost every major disease or condition.
Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski’s Naturopathic Modalities:
Clinical Nutrition uses dietary recommendations to improve current health complaints, maximize digestion, and prevent future illness. A cornerstone of Naturopathic Medicine, nutrition has proved to be the single most significant controllable determinant of health, and the relationship between diet and health is irrefutable. Research has shown us that the majority of major diseases can be prevented through dietary means. Proactive Health Care places a strong emphasis on the whole foods and hypoallergenic approach to diet.
Body Composition Analysis uses a Bio-Impedence analysis (BIA), or the ratio of fat containing mass to lean muscle mass, and the measurement of fluid levels within and outside the cells. This information is used to understand your cellular health, and to develop and track an individualized program where the emphasis is placed on fat loss and lean muscle building. This test also monitors detoxification.
Lab/Blood Tests including Urinalysis, Saliva Hormone testing, Blood testing, Food allergy testing, evaluation for exposure to heavy metals, stool analysis/digestive function testing and others are available. Please call Be Well at 972-9355 for more details and rates.
Lifestyle Counselling involves identifying risk factors and making recommendations to help optimize one’s physical, mental, and emotional environment. Perhaps even more challenging than changing our physical habits, is the need to examine and change our ways of thinking. It is, after all, our thought patterns that largely determine our feelings about ourselves and our patterns of behaviour. To facilitate change, we may use such tools as counselling, meditation, breath work, exercise, and visualization to help eliminate negative thought patterns and behaviours that are acting as obstacles.
Nutritional supplements are recommended to address deficiencies, treat disease processes, and promote health. The benefits may include increased energy, enhanced immune function and general well being. Only professional products of guaranteed quality are available for purchase. If we do not carry a product you are interested in, we can accommodate special orders, or refer you to a reliable distributor. Please Note: The cost of supplements is not included in your visits. You are under no obligation to purchase any products from Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski ND, and instead may choose to purchase any prescribed supplements from the pharmacy or health food store of your choice. Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski ND receives no incentives from any companies whose products we carry.
Botanical medicine is a plant based medicine that involves the use of herbal teas, tinctures, capsules, and other forms of herbal preparations to assist in recovery from injury and/or illness. Naturopathic Doctors are trained in herb-nutrient and herb-drug interactions - important factors in the selection and safe use of botanical medicines.
Homeopathy is a form of medicine based on the Law of Similars. Minute doses of plant, animal, or mineral origins are used to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. Homeopathy is a powerful tool that facilitates healing on a physical and mental/emotional level.
Acupuncture refers to the insertion of sterilized disposable needles through the skin into underlying tissues at specific points to re-establish the unobstructed flow of energy throughout the body. Whatever the disharmony, acupuncture can work to rebalance the body. Only sterile, single-use needles are used by Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski ND.
Hydrotherapy refers to the use of hot and cold water applications to improve circulation and stimulate immune function. This therapy can be administered by Dr. Natasha Zajmalowski ND in office or you may be instructed to perform certain hydrotherapy practices at home.
