Dr. Allison Ziegler, Naturopathic Doctor, Regina, SK

"As a naturopathic doctor, I enjoy spending the time with you to learn your story. Taking the time allows me to understand how the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your life have influenced health. As long as I can remember I was interested in a career in the healthcare field but was uncertain of where that interest may lead. Over the years my desire to work closely with people grew stronger, as did the desire to support and impact the health of others. When I became aware of Naturopathic Medicine during university, I was empowered by the philosophy it embodied and I knew it was the career I would pursue. The naturopathic principle, Treat the Whole Person, is one dear to my heart. Over the years, I have developed a special interest in all things hormonal, including fertility, women's health, thyroid, stress and endocrine disorders as well as digestive health. Using treatment methods such as Clinical Nutrition, Lifestyle Counseling, Botanical Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture, I am committed to developing an individualized plan to help you restore balance and achieve your health goals. I am grateful for my vocation as a naturopathic doctor and I look forward to meeting you along your health journey!"

One of the most common conditions women experience during their first trimester of their pregnancy is nausea and vomiting and although it is quite normal, it can cause women a lot of stress and fatigue as well as a loss of a lot of nutrients and fluids.

The cause isn’t fully understood. However, it’s mainly due to the increase – the exponential increase of hormones experienced during this time, mainly HCG, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones have effects on all other cells in the body as well which can cause some of these gastrointestinal symptoms women feel.

Although nausea can be very frustrating and tiring for women, there are a lot of treatment options to help. Simple things like changing your diet and your lifestyle can make a huge impact, like having regular exercise or ensuring that there’s always food in your stomach. Having an empty stomach can actually make the nauseating symptoms much more severe. So keeping a snack in your purse or in your car will help alleviate some of these symptoms.

Dehydration is common in women with increased nausea and vomiting so it’s really important to find ways to replenish fluid in the body. If you’re not able to keep water down or have trouble taking in water, intravenous vitamin therapy is a great alternative.

With this treatment, your naturopathic doctor can also infuse vitamins directly into your blood stream. Vitamins such as B6 and B12 will help decrease the nauseous feeling as well as increase energy throughout your pregnancy. Again, it depends on the patient. And we often will design very specific treatment plans in terms of supplements and dietary change to help with these symptoms.  Lab tests, of course, play a big role in diagnosing digestive issues. So, we would look at systemic levels of inflammation. We can also measure hydrogen and methane on the breath to determine if there are any microorganisms contributing to these symptoms.  If you’re experiencing digestive issues of any kind and you’d like to learn more about what’s causing these symptoms, see your local naturopathic doctor.
