Comprehensive Integrative Care at The Clara Clinic: What We Treat
This isn't your typical family practice—we're an integrative clinic designed with you in mind, offering clear, customized, and focused healthcare that truly understands what you're going through. At The Clara Clinic, we believe in getting to the root of your health concerns through focused, evidence-based integrative medicine that treats you as a whole person—not just individual symptoms.
We’ve put together a collaborative team of highly focused practitioners at our Toronto clinic, each dedicating their expertise to specific areas of care. When it comes to your health, we strive to provide more than quick fixes and symptom suppression.
Our Four Core Areas of Focus
Integrative Cancer Care
Living with a cancer diagnosis or cancer history requires specialized, compassionate support that goes beyond conventional treatment alone. Our team of Naturopathic Doctors focus specifically on safe integrative cancer care, providing comprehensive support for cancer prevention, radiation support, chemotherapy support, recovery, and aftercare with long-term stability.
We understand that cancer treatment affects your entire body and well-being. Our integrative approach helps support your body's natural healing processes, manages treatment side effects, and focuses on optimizing your overall health throughout your cancer journey and beyond.
Focused Hormone Health
Hormonal imbalances can profoundly impact every aspect of your life, from energy levels and mood to fertility and long-term health. Our Naturopathic Doctors provide focused care for conditions such as PCOS, infertility, thyroid disease, and perimenopause / menopause, along with a comprehensive range of hormonal concerns.
Conditions we commonly treat include:
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
Thyroid disease and dysfunction
Hormonal hair loss
Period irregularities and menstrual cycle imbalances
PMS and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
Weight loss resistance related to hormonal imbalances
When clinically-indicated and appropriate, our team offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to support patients through various hormonal transitions, using comprehensive hormone testing to guide treatment and ensure safe, effective results that align with your body's needs.
Comprehensive Digestive Health
Your digestive system is intricately connected to your immune system, mental health, and overall well-being. If you've been struggling with IBS, constipation, SIBO, or persistent digestive symptoms that you’ve not been able to get a diagnosis for or handle on, our digestive-focused Naturopathic Doctors can help address these complex conditions through targeted testing and root-cause focused treatment.
Common digestive concerns we address:
IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and heartburn
Food sensitivities and intolerances
Celiac disease support
Inflammatory bowel conditions including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
Chronic abdominal pain and bloating
Constipation or diarrhea
Leaky gut syndrome
We use in-depth functional tests for gut health, including SIBO and microbiome testing, to uncover what's really going on beneath the surface and guide more targeted, effective treatment plans.
Integrative Mental Health
True health encompasses emotional and mental well-being alongside physical health. Our mental health team provides specialized support for depression, anxiety, life-stage changes, and disordered eating, recognizing the interconnected nature of mind-body health.
Our Naturopathic Doctors and registered Psychotherapists provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, stress, burnout, relationships, identity, and more, creating a safe space to explore and heal. We understand that mental health challenges often have underlying physiological components, which is why our integrative approach addresses both psychological and biological factors.
Comprehensive Services Under One Roof
We will always give you choices around how you want to manage your health and wellness. We provide comprehensive care through multiple therapeutic modalities:
Naturopathic Medicine: Our licensed Naturopathic Doctors take a comprehensive and integrative approach to health by investigating the underlying causes of your symptoms, using comprehensive and specialized testing, clinical nutrition, supplements, bioidentical hormones, IV therapy, and lifestyle counselling.
IV Therapy & Injections: IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream for faster absorption and more immediate results, popular among patients looking to boost energy, support immunity, enhance recovery, or prepare for fertility.
Psychotherapy: Mental health support through registered psychotherapists who understand the mind-body connection and are always able to work alongside your Naturopathic Doctor to help you put the pieces together.
Nutritional Counselling: Our holistic nutritionists provide personalized nutritional guidance to support hormone balance, gut health, skin clarity, metabolic health, and overall energy.
Acupuncture: Traditional and fertility-focused acupuncture for nervous system regulation, pain management, menstrual cycle balance, and stress relief.
Specialized Testing: While we fundamentally utilize standard blood work and testing, our Naturopathic Doctors can also go beyond standard bloodwork with in-depth functional tests for hormones, thyroid, gut health, adrenal function, and more.
