Your initial naturopathic visit begins with a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, current health status, symptoms, and personal health goals. This includes a detailed intake, targeted physical examination, and a review of any existing laboratory data. When clinically indicated, additional conventional or functional laboratory testing may be recommended to further assess underlying imbalances and root causes.

Based on this information, Dr. Nora Shilo formulates an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan designed to address both short-term concerns and long-term health optimization. Your plan includes clear therapeutic recommendations, the clinical rationale behind each intervention, and a structured strategy for monitoring progress and adjusting treatment over time. The goal is not just symptom management, but sustainable improvements in health, function, appearance, and longevity.

IV therapy involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, allowing for complete absorption and rapid bioavailability.

IV therapy involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream, allowing for complete absorption and rapid bioavailability. This method can be particularly useful when higher therapeutic doses are required, when gastrointestinal absorption is impaired, or when a faster clinical response is desired.

Dr. Shilo customizes IV formulations based on your clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and health goals, which may include energy optimization, immune support, recovery, hormone support, or skin and anti-aging benefits.

Private iron infusions are also offered for patients with iron deficiency or anemia. These infusions are administered in a monitored medical setting and may be eligible for reimbursement through extended health insurance plans, depending on coverage.

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with evidence-based injectable aesthetic treatments. These treatments use a purified neuromodulating protein to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening dynamic lines caused by repetitive movement while preserving natural facial expression.

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with evidence-based injectable aesthetic treatments. These treatments use a purified neuromodulating protein to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening dynamic lines caused by repetitive movement while preserving natural facial expression.

Dr. Shilo takes a conservative, anatomy-focused approach to facial aesthetics, prioritizing balance, symmetry, and natural results. Treatments are tailored to each individual’s facial structure, skin quality, and aging pattern, with an emphasis on subtle enhancement rather than overcorrection.

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function, particularly at the level of the mitochondria. Research suggests this therapy may support collagen production, skin repair, wound healing, inflammation reduction, and tissue recovery.

Red Light Therapy (RLT), also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function, particularly at the level of the mitochondria. Research suggests this therapy may support collagen production, skin repair, wound healing, inflammation reduction, and tissue recovery.

In clinical practice, RLT is often used to support skin health and anti-aging, improve recovery, and promote overall cellular resilience. When used consistently and appropriately, it may be a valuable adjunctive therapy for longevity-focused care. Dr. Shilo includes red light therapy with all acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture is an evidence-informed therapeutic modality used to support the nervous system, hormonal regulation, circulation, and pain modulation. It has been studied for a wide range of conditions including musculoskeletal pain, fertility and reproductive health, digestive disorders, stress regulation, and skin health.

Acupuncture is an evidence-informed therapeutic modality used to support the nervous system, hormonal regulation, circulation, and pain modulation. It has been studied for a wide range of conditions including musculoskeletal pain, fertility and reproductive health, digestive disorders, stress regulation, and skin health.

Dr. Shilo integrates acupuncture into treatment plans when clinically appropriate, particularly for stress-related conditions, hormonal imbalance, fertility support, and nervous system regulation.

Conventional laboratory testing can be ordered through a LifeLabs requisition when medically indicated. These tests may include blood work commonly used to assess metabolic health, hormones, thyroid function, nutrient status, and cardiovascular risk markers.

Conventional laboratory testing can be ordered through a LifeLabs requisition when medically indicated. These tests may include blood work commonly used to assess metabolic health, hormones, thyroid function, nutrient status, and cardiovascular risk markers.

Laboratory tests ordered by a naturopathic physician in British Columbia are not covered by MSP and are therefore an out-of-pocket expense. Some extended health plans may offer partial reimbursement.

Functional testing is used to gain deeper insight into physiological patterns that may not be fully captured by standard laboratory tests. This may include urine or saliva hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, heavy metal exposure assessment, and cellular micronutrient assays, among others.

Functional testing is used to gain deeper insight into physiological patterns that may not be fully captured by standard laboratory tests. This may include urine or saliva hormone testing, comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity testing, heavy metal exposure assessment, and cellular micronutrient assays, among others.

These tests are typically conducted through specialized laboratories and are selected based on clinical relevance. Functional testing is used to guide more personalized and targeted treatment strategies.

Diet and lifestyle form the foundation of all effective long-term health interventions. Every treatment plan includes personalized guidance around nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, and daily habits that influence hormone balance, metabolic health, skin aging, and longevity.

Diet and lifestyle form the foundation of all effective long-term health interventions. Every treatment plan includes personalized guidance around nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, and daily habits that influence hormone balance, metabolic health, skin aging, and longevity.

Dr. Shilo’s approach focuses on practical, realistic changes that can be sustained long-term, rather than rigid or restrictive protocols. The goal is to create a lifestyle that supports both optimal health and real life.

Orthomolecular medicine involves the therapeutic use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients at evidence-based doses to support specific physiological processes. Supplement recommendations are individualized based on clinical assessment, laboratory findings, and current research.

This approach is used to correct deficiencies, optimize biochemical pathways, and support systems such as hormonal health, detoxification, mitochondrial function, and skin integrity.

Botanical medicine uses standardized plant-based compounds with known pharmacological effects to support health and treat disease. Herbs are selected based on their active constituents, safety profile, and evidence for efficacy.

When indicated, Dr. Shilo uses botanical medicine to support hormone balance, stress response, digestion, immune function, and inflammatory regulation, always with attention to drug-herb interactions and individual tolerance.

Naturopathic physicians in British Columbia who hold prescriptive authority are licensed to prescribe pharmaceutical medications when clinically indicated. Dr. Shilo has completed this additional certification and may prescribe medications such as bioidentical hormone therapy, thyroid medication, antibiotics, and select Health Canada–approved peptides.

An initial assessment is required for all new patients seeking prescriptions to ensure appropriateness, safety, and efficacy. Pharmaceutical therapies are used judiciously and, when possible, integrated with lifestyle, nutritional, and supportive treatments.
