A health kick start
Sometimes, you feel the need to ask someone (well-informed and professional with a lovely bedside manner) to, as my hilarious friend Hannah says: “just figure me out.” May we suggest the naturopaths at Toronto’s new Wellpath Clinic (170 Bloor St. W., 416-972-0770, wellpathclinic.com)? The airy 11th-floor offices at Bloor and Avenue (there’s a second location in Muskoka for health-conscious cottagers or locals) are outfitted with oak flooring and sleek fixtures more commonly seen at a ritzy spa, but the focus is on holistic treatment exclusively from naturopaths, with warm and helpful service.
For your first two assessment/treatment planning appointments, you will provide more information about yourself than you thought possible—including a 13-page questionnaire, a physical exam, and your latest blood work results from your GP, which the clinic will request for you. Expect personalized and targeted advice on nutrition, lifestyle and therapeutic supplements—all in accordance with how much change you are willing or able to make. Although every patient is treated as an individual, the clinic offers comprehensive treatment programs to target common concerns like stress, cold and flu prevention (especially pertinent this season), skin health and insomnia.

I met Kathryn Nobrega-Porter at a mixer in Muskoka, (they have a clinic in Port Carling) in 2008. She’s really sweet, and really smart too.
My mother recently went to the Wellpath Clinic to help with pain in her aging knees. After a few sessions with Kathryn and her partners, my mother is back running around town and actively loving life again. Perscription drugs are down and energy is up. You have won over our whole family and I think my mom is your biggest fan!
I have had the opportunity to discuss with Dr. Kathryn Nobrega-Porter the approach to improving your self using the principles Naturolpathic Medicine. I was excited about finding the tools to improve my health and feel Dr. Nobrega-Porter is very easy to talk to. I did further research by going to the Wellpath Clinic’s web site, http://www.wellpathclinic.com. I found the site to be an excellent collection of information about the clinic and clearly defines Naturopathic Medicine. I highly recommend visiting the clinic and it’s website.
Wellpath doesn’t just treat “a symptom” they look at the whole person. My husband had suffered with chronic shoulder pain and was faced with the possibility that pain medication may be his only alternative. On top of that, he felt constantly fatigued with reoccurring headaches. To my surprise he came home with a new attitude regarding general health and nutrition! Wellpath Clinic was able to restore his energy levels, virtually eliminated his headaches and treated his shoulder pain in just a few visits…thanks for treating the whole person Wellpath!
