Dr. Natalie Groenewoud Bio

After proving herself more than capable in sport, Nat was awarded a full ride soccer scholarship to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She spent 4.5 years studying pre med and winning athletic awards for being named the fastest, hardest, and strongest… She desired being celebrated this way, which fed into her nature of always “pushing harder.” However, in time this drive took a toll on her body, and although she wasn’t interested in listening to the many STOP signs her body was telling her.. (Ignore them and they will go away… right??). Her body was keeping the score and eventually this type A personality had her first experience with burn out…and unfortunately not her last. After a hospital visit and a couple of months recovering from fatigue, Natalie jumped right back into life when the fatigue lifted. The same problematic drive remained. “I’m NOT slowing down if I don’t HAVE to.” She continued to pursue two of her passions at full tilt: studying Naturopathic Medicine and playing in the Vancouver Whitecaps pool. Can you guess what happened next? It took a torn ACL and a second bout of burn out resulting in six months of sheer exhaustion, brain fog, cognitive confusion, and hardly enough energy to take care of herself to realize that she really needed help.

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.
