Welcome to Westcoast Integrative Health, where our focus is to provide functional medicine solutions for complex and chronic diseases. Dr Brian Davies ND BSc believes that the body has an innate ability to heal itself and that diet and lifestyle play a key role in this process. Facilitating lifestyle changes and addressing the root causes of disease are fundamental to functional medicine and the foundation of integrative healthcare. Using a unique combination of assessment and treatment strategies, Dr Davies maximizes the health outcomes of his clients, while helping to educate patients on how to take better care of themselves. Westcoast Integrative Health offers a variety of health services and treatment options to meet the individual needs of our clients. As a treatment for a specific health challenge can vary significantly, Westcoast Integrative Health provides a variety of functional testing options to look for the root cause of a disease process, while always considering the values and beliefs of our clients. Whether you wish to evaluate your current pharmaceutical drug regime or you would like to solve your health concerns using orthomolecular, herbal or simple dietary and lifestyle changes, Dr Davies can help you achieve your health goals.

Philosophy

The ultimate goal of all medicine must be to enable people to better take care of themselves by helping them understand what is happening in the body and what are likely barriers to their recovery. After all, the word "doctor" is derived from the Latin word meaning "to teach." At Westcoast Integrative Health, instead of simply treating or suppressing a patient's symptoms using pharmaceuticals or selling expensive supplements that don’t typically work, Dr Davies focuses on the cause of illness. The cause of chronic disease may be very complex and take some time and expense to resolve or it may be simple and require little effort for the individual. As most dis-ease is derived from what we put into our bodies, our gut microbiology, our genetics and emotional beliefs, in the initial consultation Dr Davies always starts with a thorough intake and individualized lifestyle and diet interventions first. Lifestyle and diet interventions may sound simple, however they often need to be individualized. Dr Davies has worked with many thousands of clients since 2006 when he received his license to practice naturopathic medicine. Using this experience, as well as extensive practice and study of most major dietary programs, Dr Davies is not only able to recommend dietary solutions effectively, but explain the rationale of how diet and lifestyle modifications can be the primary intervention for almost any chronic disease process.
