The Naturopathic Journey at Vitality BioMed
Dr. Cooper’s approach begins with a thorough review of your health history, she emphasizes the importance of completing the intake forms provided at least twenty four hours prior to your Initial appointment. This allows Dr. Cooper to review your health history, medications and health priorities, this information provides Dr. Cooper with the insights required to begin creating a personalized health plan just for you.
When you come to our beautiful clinic for your first visit, prior to meeting with Dr. Cooper you will complete a series of diagnostic testing. These tests provide Dr. Cooper with a baseline of your nervous system, body composition and toxicity levels and allow her to take a closer look at the root cause of your health concerns. These tests are simple, pain free and take approximately twenty minutes.
After the initial diagnostic tests are complete you will spend one on one time with Dr. Cooper to dive deeper into your health goals, health history, and analyze your diagnostic testing results. Dr. Cooper will discuss further testing if required which could consist of blood tests, hormone testing, food sensitivity, gut microbiome, lyme and toxin markers and many more. At Vitality BioMed we offer over twenty variations of tests to determine the root cause of your ailments. (Link to Diagnostic Page).

Dr. Cooper will take time after your Initial appointment to create a personalized health plan just for you. She believes in combining a holistic approach with our leading edge treatments to advance and personalize your health journey.
Your initial naturopathic consultation will be followed by a thirty minute follow up visit where you will be provided with your personalized health plan, this will allow Dr. Cooper to explain the health plan she has created for you, answer any additional questions you may have and fine tune the plan based on your budget and priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Naturopathic Doctors
How does naturopathic medicine compare to conventional medicine?
Naturopathic and conventional doctors share similar training and both provide primary care, but their approach and therapies differ. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) focus on treating the root cause of disease, addressing the physical, environmental, lifestyle, and emotional aspects of health. They use natural therapies, nutrition, and holistic treatments tailored to each individual.
In contrast, conventional doctors typically focus on managing symptoms using pharmaceutical therapies or surgery. Both approaches have their strengths, and combining them can provide comprehensive care.
What can naturopathic medicine do for you?
Naturopathic medicine treats all health concerns, from acute to chronic, and physical to psychological, for patients of all ages. It is especially beneficial for:
- Preventative care: Promoting health and preventing disease through personalized strategies.
- Unresolved symptoms: Addressing a range of symptoms that haven’t responded to conventional care.
- Chronic illness: Offering additional treatment options and improving quality of life for those with serious conditions.
- Integrative care: Combining naturopathic and conventional treatments to minimize side effects from drugs, surgery, or other therapies.
Whether you are seeking proactive health management or support for ongoing concerns, naturopathic medicine offers solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Are naturopathic doctors real doctors?
Yes, naturopathic doctors are licensed healthcare providers who complete rigorous medical training. Their education includes natural therapies such as acupuncture, traditional chinese medicine, muscle testing, nutrition, functional medicine, and diagnostic skills to treat a wide range of conditions.
At Vitality BioMed, Dr. Cheryl Cooper takes a patient-focused approach, addressing the individual rather than just the symptoms. This ensures holistic and effective care.
