welcome
Hello there! I'm Dr. Whitney.
I assist individuals who feel restricted by their bloating and IBS, empowering them to feel confident in their bodies and in control of their digestion. I aim to bring clarity to the perpetual quest for answers, enabling you to live without fear surrounding food.
how I can help
-

IBS
Helping people get an IBS diagnosis and create a personalized plan to ease symptoms. This can include evidence-based supplements, acupuncture, gut-brain techniques, and diet advice. Building your confidence without strict elimination diets!
-

microbiome
if you have changes to your digestion after antibiotics, illness after travel, food poisoning or abdominal surgery (including C section), your microbiome may need some TLC! This also includes assessing for SIBO or SIFO (small bacterial fungal overgrowth).
-

anxiety
I assist individuals in understanding the complexities of anxiety, both independently and in its correlation with disorders of gut-brain interaction such as IBS and others.
-

bloating
Did you know bloating can have dietary, hormonal, behavioural and/or emotional causes? I work with people to navigate this symptom to find the cause or causes so they can understand and find relief.
-

reflux/heartburn
Whether you have this discomfort after eating certain foods, during pregnancy or if you can’t pinpoint the cause, I can help with a holistic approach and whether or not a medication is indicated for you.
-

constipation
Are you having well-formed and complete stools every day? How do you know if it’s constipation? Bloating and discomfort can come along for the ride. This is also common in kiddos! I help folks of all ages to get things moving and feel more comfortable.
other areas of interest
-
The perimenopause/menopause transition is more than hot flashes or night sweats. Mood fluctuations, joint pain, vaginal dryness or pain and sleep disturbances are just some of the clues that things are starting to shift. I can support you! I keep an up to date knowledge on safe prescribing of hormone replacement therapy, dietary guidelines and more options to support your health through this transition.
-
whether you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or wake up feeling like you never went to sleep, we can work on this together.
-
iron infusions require a specific appointment type and blood work, please select this from the booking options. or call the clinic if you have questions
-
blood work is always part of your foundational health care plan (unless you’ve recently had some done or can get access through your MD or NP). it is crucial to check in on how your body is functioning.
i also hold my prescriptive rights and we can refill or set you up with a new prescription as needed.
