Dr. Lesley Kemp-Studer, Naturopathic Doctor, North Vancouver, BC

"Dr. Lesley Kemp Studer was born and brought up in Scotland. In 1992, she graduated as a Dental Surgeon from Glasgow University and completed a residency in Oral Surgery and Advanced Restorative Techniques before joining a prestigious private practice in Hamilton. In 1996 she moved to Switzerland, where she worked in a pediatric clinic and started to learn about alternative healing methods, such as acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine and food sensitivity testing, both as a patient and in postgraduate courses of study. Astounded by the success of these alternative techniques, she determined to learn more, which led her to the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, where she graduated in 2003 as a Naturopathic Doctor, with added certification in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (including Chinese herbs). While in Toronto, she studied Craniosacral Therapy with world-renowned Upledger teacher, Robert Harris and gained certification for this in 2002. From 2004 onwards, she has studied N.A.E.T. with Dr. Devi Nambudripad in Los Angeles. This is an allergy desensitisation technique which is useful for reactions to all types of substances, including pollens and pets. After graduating from CCNM, she moved to British Columbia, where she studied for her licensing exams on Mayne Island and fell in love with the West Coast. Her plans to go back to Europe and combine Naturopathic Medicine with Dentistry slowly changed as she settled into life in Vancouver with her husband and discovered that Naturopathic Medicine is her true vocation. She now lives on the North Shore, where she enjoys spending time outdoors with family and friends. Dr. Kemp Studer has a very gentle approach to patient care, blending knowledge from cutting-edge medical research and wisdom from traditional healing techniques, to enhance recovery from health challenges and provide preventative patient care. She loves working with families to optimize health through all stages of life, from fertility enhance

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.
