Dr. Michelle Patel Bio

"Hi, I'm Michelle! When I was 10 my Dad died of cancer and that's what ignited the spark of me wanting to be a doctor. I wanted to cure cancer! Such a bold statement for a 10-year-old. I knew that I wanted to be a doctor and to help people. At that time I only knew of one kind of doctor, a medical doctor, so I set out on my path to get there. But along the way my passion was fading. It was clear to me that I still wanted to help people with their health but the MD route was no longer calling me. When I was older, I realized *why not help prevent illness in the first place?* I felt a deeper need to help people get back to their roots and the building blocks of health. To me that looked like the pillars of what holds us together.... food, sleep, and managing stress. A quick Google search brought Naturopathic Medicine into my life and a gut feeling told me that an ND was my calling. It focuses a lot on disease prevention through healthy lifestyle, with natural support along the way if we do get sick. This is how I have always lived my life. Even as a kid, when I had the choice between cake and fruit, I always went for the fruit."

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.
