Turns out Dr. Mudry has been a bit behind on maintaining recommended prices of visit fees for Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in BC. These provincial fee recommendations are made based on years of experience as well as cost of maintaining liscensure as an ND (which increases slightly every year). Following these recommendations she will implement a slight fee increase starting in March 2023. New visit fees will be as outlined below: Initial Visit 60 mins – 200$ Follow up 30 mins – 100$ Follow up 15 mins – 55$ Initial quick consult 15 mins – $60 Tinctures and homeopathics made in office will all hav ..read more

Sustainability is super important to the Dr. K team and that is why we sanitize and reuse all the tincture bottles and homeopathic vials. You can bring your used glass bottles to your follow up appointments or leave them in the clinic mailboxes any time. Custom blended tinctures usually contain herbs that would need to bought in 2-3 different supplement bottles, which are usually plastic. By using re-useable glass containers for personalized medicines Dr. K is able to significantly decrease waste produced by her treatment suggestions! She uses locally harvested and organically grown herbs as w ..read more

So this week is naturopathic medicine week in the US, and I’m joining in even though I’m a Canadian ND (naturopathic doctor). I went to naturopathic medical school in the states and loved my school and my time down there. I was there before,  during and after the affordable care act (Obamacare) was introduced and was able to see and treat such a broad spectrum of people. One of the things that was most important to me in my training was working with low income populations. My school, the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), had 13 community clinics all throughout the city ..read more

Pap tests are done to check for cell changes on the cervix that could be pre cancerous. HPV is commonly involved in cer ..read more

I’m writing this during a time when a lot of businesses are closed for public health measures, so I’d like to start by saying how grateful I am to be still working right now. I am proud that my business, my clinic, my services as a physician, are deemed essential services in BC and honoured that so many folks see me as an essential part of their health, even if it is through a video chat right now.   I have been thinking about what my goals are for my business in the upcoming months, which is invariably tied to my work as a naturopathic physician and health advocate, and to my personal va ..read more

Digestion has always been a huge focus in naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic Doctors have always seen the digestive system as one of the most foundational pieces of health. The old saying “Let Food Be Thy Medicine” is fundamental to natural health, and works only as good as your digestive organs do! Our body needs tons of nutrients to fuel us and without proper digestion, absorption and transportation of those nutrients we see tons of different health issues. Almost every piece of health, be it mental health, immune health, hormones, skin, energy, or urinary/reproductive health is influenced ..read more
