My bloodwork is normal, but I don't feel right.Talk to a naturopathic doctor.
Normal results are good news. They just don't always explain how you feel. Bradford Naturopath is a naturopath in Ontario. A Naturopathic Doctor (ND), regulated in Ontario, looks at your sleep, food, stress, digestion, hormones and bloodwork together, alongside your family doctor.

in your own words
Which one sounds like you?
Most people don't arrive with a diagnosis. They arrive with a sentence. Pick yours and see what the ND looks at, and what a first visit covers.
I'm tired all the time.
Eight hours of sleep, and I still wake up tired.
You might be noticing
- Waking up tired after a full night
- Running on coffee by mid morning
- An afternoon crash
- Bloodwork that came back normal
What the ND looks at
- Sleep and your daily routine
- What and when you eat
- Your stress load
- Your recent bloodwork, line by line, including iron and thyroid results if you have them
- Medications and supplements you take now
My gut never settles.
Fine in the morning. Bloated by lunch.
You might be noticing
- Bloating that builds through the day
- Reflux or heartburn after meals
- Going too often, or not often enough
- Foods you've quietly stopped eating
What the ND looks at
- What you eat, and when
- How your digestion shifts with stress and sleep
- Your history, including any past tests
- Medications and supplements you take now
- Anything that should go to your family doctor first
My hormones are all over the place.
My cycle sets the schedule now, not me.
You might be noticing
- A cycle that changed: heavier, lighter or less regular
- PMS that takes up more of the month
- Hot flashes or night sweats, maybe perimenopause
- Sleep or energy that follow your cycle
What the ND looks at
- Your cycle history and life stage
- Sleep, stress and food alongside it
- Recent hormone or thyroid results, if you have them
- Medications you take, including birth control
- Tests, only where they add something
I'm stressed and wired, then I can't sleep.
Exhausted all day. Wide awake at midnight.
You might be noticing
- Lying awake with a busy mind
- Waking at 3 a.m. and staying up
- A short fuse, a low mood, or both
- Coffee to get going, a glass of wine to wind down
What the ND looks at
- Your week: work, caregiving and recovery
- When you sleep, and how often you wake
- Caffeine, alcohol and meal timing
- Recent bloodwork, if you have it
- Medications and supplements you take now
If your mood is low and won't lift, the ND will say so and point you to your family doctor. If you're thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8.
Honestly? All of the above.
Tired, bloated, not sleeping. And the tests say fine.
You might be noticing
- A bit of everything, with no clear starting point
- Normal results, every time
- A list that's hard to say in one go
What the ND looks at
- Everything side by side: sleep, food, stress, digestion and hormones
- Your recent bloodwork, read together, not one line at a time
- What you've already tried
- Where to start first
Whichever line you pick, it leads to the same place: a first visit where all of it is on the table. Your family doctor stays part of the picture.
the whole picture
Not one result at a time. All of it, together.
A Naturopathic Doctor is a regulated health professional in Ontario. Here is what that looks like in practice.
- listen.
Your history, in your words, with time to tell it properly.
- look.
Sleep, food, stress, digestion, hormones, medications and your recent bloodwork, read side by side.
- test.
Only where it adds something. Ontario NDs can requisition certain lab tests. You hear the lab cost before anything is ordered.
- plan.
Diet, lifestyle changes and supplements where they make sense, reviewed at each follow-up.
Alongside your family doctor. With your permission, the ND shares what they find. If something needs a medical doctor or nurse practitioner, the ND will tell you and refer you.

Ten minutes. Free. In your own words.
A short call with the ND before you book anything. Say what's going on, hear how a first visit works, and ask about fees and insurance. It's a conversation about fit, not a consultation.

good questions
Before you book.
Is a Naturopathic Doctor covered by OHIP?
No, OHIP doesn't cover naturopathic visits. Many extended health plans do, and every payment comes with an itemized receipt showing the ND's registration number for your claim.
Can a Naturopathic Doctor order blood tests in Ontario?
Yes, Ontario NDs can requisition certain lab tests. These are paid privately, and you hear the cost before anything is ordered. Recent results from your family doctor are welcome too.
Do I need a referral?
No, you don't need a referral. You can book the free 10-minute call or an initial consultation directly.
Will the ND work with my family doctor?
Yes. With your permission, the ND can share findings with your family doctor. If something needs a medical doctor or nurse practitioner, the ND will tell you and refer you.
What happens on the free call?
You get ten minutes to describe what's going on and ask questions. You hear how the ND works, what a first visit includes, and what it costs. It isn't an assessment, and there's nothing to buy.
How long is the first visit?
Follow-ups are 30 or 60 minutes.
Bring your sentence. We'll start there.
