Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont, B.A. (Hon. Psych.), H.D., N.D.

Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, one of only two Canadian colleges to have a 4500-hour post-graduate program accredited by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

During her training, she was part of the Naturopathic Sports Medicine Group and did internships at Sherbourne Naturopathic Clinic specializing in HIV positive patients as well as at the naturopathic clinic for aboriginals, Anishnawbe.

Furthermore, she has additional training in cosmetic and pain management procedures as well as intravenous therapy. Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont has also been a homeopathic doctor since 1996 and has taught classical homeopathy for 3 years and hosted a weekly health segment on the French radio station Lov'Radio 104.9 Lachute and 102.1 Hawkesbury.

In her practice, Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont has chosen to focus on functional medicine and therapeutic lifestyle changes through nutrition and exercise. Functional medicine is the study of the relationship between healthy cellular function and nutrition, as well as the scientific use of nutrients and botanicals to restore the cellular and biochemical equilibrium.

Special areas of interest include, but are not restricted to: obesity, metabolic syndrome, cancer, gastro-intestinal problems, hormonal imbalance, and pain management and natural cosmetic procedures using mesotherapy.

Dr. Lepage-Chaumont’s Philosophy:
“"The human body is amazing in the sense that it is both simple and absolutely complex. Health begins with proper nutrition and a balanced lifestyle but sometimes the body needs help from Mother Nature in order to regain a sense of balance. In these instances, the doctor is merely a facilitator in guiding the body on the road back to health. Take good care of your body and it will take care of you."

Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont est une graduée du Collège Canadien de Médecine Naturopathique à Toronto, soit le seul collège canadien offrant un programme post-gradué de 4500 heures accrédité par l'American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Pendant son cours, elle a fait partie de l'équipe de médecine sportive naturopathique, puis elle a effectué un internat à la clinique naturopathique Sherbourne spécialisée dans le traitement des patients atteints du VIH ainsi qu'à la clinique pour amérindiens Anishnawbe. Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont est également homéopathe depuis 1996 et elle a enseigné l'homéopathie classique pendant 3 ans. En 2006, elle a eu une capsule santé hebdomadaire sur la chaîne radio francophone Lov'Radio 104.9 Lachute et 102.1 Hawkesbury.

La médecine fonctionnelle ainsi que les changements de vie thérapeutiques par l'exercice et l'alimentation font partie intégrante de sa pratique. La médecine fonctionnelle étant l'étude de la relation qui existe entre le bon fonctionnement cellulaire et la nutrition, cette approche constitue donc une façon scientifique d'utiliser les nutriments et les extraits botaniques dans le but de rétablir l'équilibre biochimique et cellulaire. Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont s'intéresse particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, au: obésité, syndrome métabolique, cancer, troubles gastro-intestinaux et déséquilibres hormonaux.


La philosophie de Dr. Anouk Lepage-Chaumont : " Le corps humain est extraordinaire car il est à la fois simple et complexe. La santé débute avec une saine alimentation et un style de vie équilibré mais le corps a parfois besoin d'un coup de main de mère nature afin de retrouver son équilibre. Dans ce cas, le médecin n'agit qu'à titre de guide afin de remettre le corps sur la voie vers la santé. Prenez bien soin de votre corps et il prendra soin de vous. "

Dr. David W. Lescheid, PhD, ND

Dr. David W. Lescheid graduated with honours from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), the only fully CNME accredited Naturopathic medical college in Canada. He was awarded the prestigious Governor General’s medal for the highest level of academic and clinical excellence in his graduating class.

Dr. David W. Lescheid graduated with honours from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), one of only two fully CNME accredited Naturopathic medical colleges in Canada. His education also includes a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Protein Chemistry from the University of Victoria, as well as a B.Sc. in Biology and a Diploma in Health and Fitness studies from Simon Fraser University. He also has additional training in IV therapies, homeopathy and acupuncture.

Dr. Lescheid operated a successful Toronto-based naturopathic clinical practice and was a professor for five years at the CCNM where he taught Physiology and Microbiology, and was recognized for his excellence in teaching. As a nationally recognized expert in naturopathic medicine, he is frequently invited to speak at professional events and has published extensively on complementary and alternative medicine. He often holds seminars, including courses for continuing education credits for other medical professionals.

In 2006, Dr. Lescheid was appointed to the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC), an advisory board to Health Canada. He also is a member of the international Council for Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME), which regulates the quality of naturopathic education, and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) Government Relations Committee.

Although his practice extends over a broad range of health concerns, Dr. Lescheid takes a special interest in the immune system and infectious diseases. He also works with men’s health issues, overweight and obesity concerns and sports medicine.

Dr. David W. Lescheid’s philosophy: “I believe that the foundation of good, effective medicine is built upon understanding the physiological functions that have been altered to create the current signs and symptoms. Therefore, I will use all the current scientific evidence to develop a more complete understanding of each individual’s illness. A more detailed knowledge of physiology and pathology provides clues as to the best method of treatment or prevention. However, I also believe that for complete, long lasting healing to occur, some of the less tangible aspects of health like mental, emotional and spiritual health must also be addressed. The pathway from disease towards optimal health is a dynamic one that requires regular investment and commitment. Our collective role as patient and health care provider is to discover and remove the obstacles to cure and provide the building blocks necessary for the body to heal itself. I will do my best to provide each individual with the knowledge and support needed to rebalance their health and maximize their true life potential.”
