Naturopathic Family Medicine

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I'm dedicated to understanding your whole health story and uncovering the root causes of your concerns—not just treating isolated symptoms. My approach focuses on creating an optimal healing environment for your body, both inside and out.

Through my rigorous medical training and years of experience, I've developed expertise in treating a wide spectrum of health conditions, from allergies and digestive issues to hormonal imbalances and chronic fatigue. I love working with both individuals and families, offering comprehensive care that addresses everything from common ailments to complex chronic conditions.

My practice combines the best of natural medicine with practical medical skills, including minor surgical procedures when needed. What excites me most about naturopathic medicine is its power to transform lives by supporting your body's innate healing abilities. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, fertility challenges, or simply seeking to optimize your health, I'm here to be your partner in creating lasting wellness.

Natural Fertility

My goal is to help couples learn how to support natural fertility, overcome fertility issues, and prepare for a healthy pregnancy through Chinese medicine and acupuncture, nutritional guidance, lab testing, and endocrine support. Providing nutritional and Chinese herbal guidance can improve the quality of the eggs, prompt the organs to release the right amount of hormones and create an optimum environment for the eggs to mature and be fertilized in.

Providing labs test to check levels of estrogen and progesterone can be useful when supporting fertility. Balancing your endocrine system (thyroid, adrenal and ovaries) can help regulate periods, cycle length and ovulation times, improving sperm morphology, motility count, and egg quality. Acupuncture can assist with any type of pain or stasis syndrome such as endometriosis, painful menses, blood clots, irregular menstrual cycles, and hormonal imbalances.

For women in their early thirties trying to conceive naturally, 4-8 months of naturopathic and acupuncture treatment is ideal. Those in their later thirties, six months of treatment is recommended. For men, a minimum of four months is optimal before trying to conceive as research from the UK has shown that sperm takes 96 days to form.

Nutritional Consultations

Food is the best medicine and is a cornerstone of Dr. Lum’s practice. What we eat plays an important role in how we feel. Good quality food can provide your body with the necessary ingredients for optimal energy, restoration, and regeneration. We advocate nutrient dense, natural and organic foods versus commercial, processed/packaged foods, allowing the body to attain an optimal state of balance and vitality. Many medical conditions can be treated more effectively with food, with few complications and side effects.

We give nutritional guidance in every visit and offer other services such as: food allergy lab testing, trips to the grocery store, tips on how to clean out your pantry and Chinese nutritional information based on your Chinese diagnosis.

Never before has our food contained so many chemicals in the form of preservatives, flavorings, colorings, emulsifiers, hormones and antibiotics as well as the residue of pesticides and fertilizers from modern farming methods. Consequently it makes sense to eat as clean a diet as possible.

Prescriptions

While I'm deeply committed to natural healing, I believe in creating treatment plans that combine the best of both conventional and natural medicine. As a licensed practitioner, I can prescribe pharmaceutical medications when they're necessary for your care, and I carefully consider when these interventions might be the right choice for your situation.

However, my passion lies in supporting your body's healing processes through high-quality, targeted supplementation and natural therapies whenever possible. I take time to carefully evaluate your needs and help you understand all your treatment options, whether that's a pharmaceutical medication, therapeutic-grade supplements, or a combination of both.

My goal isn't to avoid medications at all costs, but rather to find the most effective, least invasive path to helping you feel your best. Together, we'll create a treatment approach that aligns with your health goals and values while ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your specific situation.
