Specialized Treatment:

Being a doctor of naturopathic medicine, Dr. Leu enjoys treating any health concern, because naturopathic principles of identifying and correcting the cause will improve almost any issue. Dr. Leu sees a wide spectrum of health conditions. All conditions have an underlying cause, be it hormone imbalances (such as adrenal, sex hormones, thyroid, serotonin, dopamine, etc), toxicity, infection or dietary. Below are some of the treatments that Dr. Leu specializes in:

• Sex Hormone Optimization
  • Optimizing your sex hormones is critical to vital health. Both men and women can have imbalances that affect their quality of life (energy, mood, strength, libido, weight). Salivary testing is the most sensitive assessment tool to identify your levels. We will create a treatment protocol based on the test results, to bring the levels back to optimal level. We will then retest your levels after a short time, to make certain that the protocol is safe and effective.
• Thyroid & Adrenal Optimization
  • The T3 thyroid hormone is the active form which controls your metabolic rate. If it is not optimal, it affects how well the other glands and systems work in your body (adrenals, liver, kidneys, sex glands, energy, weight, hair growth, core body temperature). And the adrenal glands produce several hormones that help you deal with stress to the body, and helps with the wake-sleep cycle. The thyroid and adrenal hormones need to be at optimal levels to have vital health.
• Neurochemical Rebalancing
  • Our neurochemical transmitters are produced and released all over the body. They are being released constantly, every time you think, talk, move, and even sleep. If they are out of balance, they can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, ADD/ADHD, insomnia, fatigue, and even pain. We test your levels, and can help your body produce what you are deficient in, and block others if in excess.
• Chronic Infection Management
  • It is a known fact that by the time we are 70 years old, 70% of us will have acquired some type of chronic infection, that in some, can create issues. With scientific testing, we can identify, then treat these infections, which can help you with your overall wellness. Even though it is not possible to totally eradicate some of these infections, we can decrease the total infection load on your body, which will improve your energy, pain and inflammation.
• Inflammation & Fatigue Management
  • Chronic joint and muscle pain can be due to: a simple hormone deficiency, such as thyroid or adrenal cortisol; a smoldering low grade infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal); or even eating foods one is allergic to. We test these possibilities, to identify the underlying cause, then treat the cause, and pain, energy and inflammation improves.
  • Fatigue has so many potential causes: Low thyroid or adrenal function, imbalanced neurochemicals, vitamin deficiencies, and chronic infections. Your initial consult with Dr. Leu will help identify which tests should be performed to identify your cause of fatigue.
• Vitamin & Mineral Optimization
  • Our food supply is often deficient of key nutrients. Others have deficiencies due to medications, alcohol, heavy menses, or even malabsorption. Simple blood tests will often identify these issues.
