Finding a Practitioner

We regret that it is not possible for ION to assist you in finding a specific practitioner.

When choosing any type of new practitioner it is important to think about:

• Scope of services,
• How they integrate the therapeutic use of nutrition,
• Regulation and training,
• Payment, and
• Fit.

Some options to help with your search include:

• For a family physician contact your provincial/territorial College of Physicians and Surgeons or your provincial/territorial ministry or department of health.
• For a naturopath contact:
  • the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors at http://www.cand.ca
  • the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine at http://www.ccnm.edu or
  • the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine at http://www.binm.org.

As well, in some provinces naturopaths are regulated and there is a professional college that may provide referrals.

• For a nutritionist contact the one of the many training facilities across Canada or your local health food retailer may be able to make a referral.
