Naturopathic & Functional Medicine Doctor
Using Naturopathic and Functional Medicine approaches, Dr. Katie Kavicky (owner of Ablaze Natural Health) is here to support your wellness journey and help you achieve your health goals.
Discover & Address the Underlying Root Causes of Your Health Concerns
In conventional medicine, doctors rely on standard tests to diagnose and guide treatment. If symptoms persist despite normal results, further tests are typically done only when there’s a clear medical reason. During this time, symptom-managing medications like antacids, steroid creams, painkillers, or NSAIDs are often prescribed. While these offer quick relief, they don’t address the root causes of the symptoms. Naturopathic and Functional Medicine go beyond surface-level treatment, focusing on identifying and resolving the underlying health imbalances.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine focuses on helping your body heal itself. Dr. Katie uses natural treatments like nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes to find and treat the root cause of your symptoms. This approach treats your entire body, not just the symptoms, so you can feel better in the long term.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is an approach that looks at your whole body, considering everything from nutrition and sleep to stress and genetics. It’s all about finding the root causes of your health problems, rather than just masking the symptoms. Dr. Katie uses personalized tests and takes a deep dive into your health history to create a plan that’s unique to you.
Ready to Feel Better? Let’s Uncover What’s Really Going On with Your Health!
STEP 1: UNDERSTAND YOUR UNIQUE HEALTH STORY
We believe every person’s health journey is unique.
That’s why we start by understanding:
- Your daily habits, like physical activity and nutrition
- Your work, home, and social environments
- Stress levels, sleep quality, and toxin exposure you may face
- Any family health history or genetic factors
This deep dive helps uncover patterns and factors contributing to your symptoms.
STEP 2: DISCOVER ROOT CAUSES THROUGH ADVANCED TESTING
We take a deeper look at your health using comprehensive testing when necessary. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- Bloodwork: Identifies nutritional deficiencies or imbalances
- Stool Analysis: Evaluates gut health and digestion
- Hormone Panels: Checks for imbalances affecting mood, energy, or sleep
- Food Sensitivity Testing: Pinpoints hidden triggers behind inflammation or discomfort
- Heavy Metal Testing: Detects toxin exposure
- Immunity & Metabolism Assessments: Helps identify underlying dysfunctions
These insights help us pinpoint what’s happening in your body.
STEP 3: RESTORE BALANCE WITH A TAILORED WELLNESS PLAN
Once we’ve identified the root causes, we create a plan just for you.
Whether it’s lifestyle changes, nutrition, or supplementation for reducing inflammation, improving gut health, or balancing hormones, we’ll design a personalized plan that helps you find lasting relief from health issues that have seemed impossible to resolve—so you can finally experience lasting relief.
