Teen Health
Teen wellness is an often neglected area of health care, when they don’t easily fit into a children’s health program or an adult one. Naturopathic medicine can provide support for teens in optimizing their health during these transition years, and also as a great opportunity to learn about their bodies and maintaining their health in the future.
