Naturopathic Medicine at Motus HEALTH

Weight management is about much more than calories alone. Dr. Amber helps patients identify the lifestyle, hormonal, metabolic, and mindset factors that may be preventing progress, then create a realistic plan focused on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and sustainable habit change. When appropriate, functional testing for resistant weight loss, targeted supplementation, and clinical hypnosis may be suggested to help remove barriers and support lasting success.

Hormonal changes can affect energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, weight, and overall quality of life. Dr. Amber supports patients through PMS, thyroid and adrenal concerns, perimenopause, menopause, and other hormone-related conditions using personalized lifestyle medicine, nutrition, botanical and nutraceutical therapies, acupuncture, functional testing when appropriate, and evidence-informed strategies to help optimize both current symptoms and long-term health.

Digestive symptoms such as bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, IBD, SIBO and food intolerances/sensitivities often have underlying causes that deserve investigation rather than simply symptom management. Through lifestyle assessment and comprehensive stool testing when indicated, we may suggest personalized nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, gut-directed supplementation, acupuncture, and mind-body therapies, to help patients restore digestive health and improve overall wellbeing.

Both acute and chronic pain can affect every aspect of daily life, and our naturopathic doctors in Sarnia are here to help you find lasting relief through a comprehensive, root- cause approach. Rather than simply masking symptoms, we take the time to understand the underlying factors contributing to your pain, whether its inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, musculoskeletal imbalances, or stress-related tension, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our approach may draw on a range of evidence-informed therapies, including acupuncture, botanical medicine, nutritional counselling, and lifestyle modifications, all designed to support your body's natural ability to heal. Whether you're managing arthritis, back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, or recovery from an injury, our goal is to help you reduce pain, restore function, and improve your overall quality of life without over-reliance on medications

Whether you are training to increase athletic performance, endurance, strength, or recovering from an injury or surgery, proper nutrition plays a foundational role in how well your body performs and heals. Dr Scott Dainty is a naturopathic doctor and sports nutritionist who helps you optimize energy levels, support muscle growth, repair, and enhance endurance through personalized nutrition guidance designed to meet the needs of your specific sport, training intensity, and body composition goals. For athletes recovering from surgery or injury, targeted nutritional strategies including adequate macronutrient intake, targeted nutrient and herbal supplements, and managing inflammation - can help accelerate tissue repair, reduce recovery time, and minimize complications like muscle loss during periods of reduced activity. We work closely with each patient to create a nutrition strategy that complements their training or rehabilitation program, helping athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to competitive athletes, get back to peak performance safely and efficiently.
