Virtual Naturopath Appointments
Why Choose Virtual Naturopathic Care?
Convenience & Accessibility
Life gets busy, and seeking treatment should be easy, not stressful. Virtual naturopath appointments allow patients across Ontario to access care without taking time off work or enduring long drives. Appointments are conducted securely online or by phone, making them ideal for Canadians living in rural communities, with mobility challenges, or with busy schedules.
All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet space.
Same Expertise as In-Clinic Visits
A virtual visit offers the same level of professionalism as an in-clinic appointment. You’ll still receive the same comprehensive assessment and personalized recommendations as you would in person.
Our clinicians take the time to listen, review your history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals, so care feels connected.
What Virtual Appointments Can Help With
Our naturopathic doctors review your background and health history to understand your goals. Common areas we support include:
Digestive Health
During virtual appointments, we explore digestion, nutrient absorption, food tolerance, and gut-related patterns that may affect energy, immunity, and mood. We also assess nutrient status through detailed intake and lab review, helping identify areas that may benefit from targeted nutritional strategies.Hormone Balance
Virtual care allows us to review symptoms, timing, lifestyle factors, and lab work to better understand hormonal patterns over time. Hormones influence your sleep, energy, metabolism, menstrual cycles, and stress response. That’s why our system allows for informed conversations without rushing.
Mental Wellness & Stress
Mood, sleep quality, focus, and resilience are closely connected to brain chemistry, blood sugar balance, and nutrient status. Virtual visits provide space to discuss stressors, sleep-wake rhythms, and mental wellness concerns in a supportive, unhurried setting.
Chronic Conditions
Living with ongoing health concerns often requires continuity of care and regular follow-up. Virtual naturopath appointments are well-suited for long-term care, progress check-ins, and plan adjustments to help patients stay engaged and supported over time.
How Virtual Appointments Work at NutriChem
Initial Assessment
Virtual care at NutriChem begins with understanding your unique patterns.
Your journey starts with support from our clinic coordinator, who helps match you with the most appropriate clinician based on your needs. Your initial virtual appointment (60 minutes) includes a comprehensive health assessment with a naturopathic doctor.
During this visit, we take the time to explore your health history, current concerns, lifestyle factors, and wellness goals. This thoughtful, unrushed conversation helps determine priorities and whether functional testing would be beneficial.
Functional Testing Options
Many functional and laboratory tests can be arranged through virtual care. Requisitions can be sent digitally, allowing you to complete testing at an external laboratory anywhere in Ontario.
If you’re in Ottawa, testing may take place at our Carling Avenue location. These results offer insight into how systems like hormones, nutrients, blood sugar regulation, and digestion are working together to guide next steps.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Your clinician will review your results, explain their meaning, and collaborate with you to develop a personalized plan. Treatment plans are tailored to your individual biochemistry, lifestyle, and goals, and may include nutrition strategies, lifestyle guidance, botanicals, or custom-compounded formulations prepared by our pharmacy team.
Plans are designed to be flexible and responsive, with virtual follow-ups that enable ongoing refinement and support as your body and needs evolve.

A holistic doctor views a patient broadly, body, mind and spirit, then employs conventional medicines with alternative therapies.
