Naturopath Skin Treatment in Edmonton

Our Naturopaths often use Food Allergy Testing as a cornerstone of many of our skin treatments.

Often times, reactive foods underlie cases of Acne, Eczema and Psoriasis.

Our Naturopathic Doctors often do aggressive gut healing for skin cases as well.

Naturopathic approaches:

Acne - Our experience (and that of many other practitioners) is that dietary modification can produce improvement or even complete resolution of acne in some patients.

Our Naturopaths frequently use Food Sensitivity Testing on our Edmonton clients.

Common acne provoking foods include chocolate, milk, tomatoes, oranges, nuts, wheat, pork and sugar.

Hormone Testing is paramount in many acne cases.

If possible our Naturopaths run DUTCH urinary hormone testing.

DUTCH testing allows us to understand the quantity of male hormones and their 5-alpha metabolites. For acne cases with only a PMS worsening our Naturopaths may use salivary estradiol and progesterone testing (much lower costs than Urine DUTCH testing).

Eczema - Numerous investigators have found that food allergy is a common cause of eczema.

As such our Naturopaths prefer running Food sensitivity or allergy testing in all our Edmonton eczema patients.

Elimination of milk/dairy, eggs, peanuts, tomatoes, wheat/gluten and artificial colors and preservatives results in significant improvement in most pediatric patients we've seen.

If we see many foods elevate on testing, we initiate aggressive gut healing and may also do microbiome analysis as well.

Psoriasis - Several investigators have observed complete resolution of Psoriasis lesions in patients with after they went on a gluten-free diet, this certainly implicates foods as problematic in some Psoriasis patients.

In our experience, allergy to foods other than gluten is common in Psoriasis - Dairy and Eggs are also extremely common food triggers our Naturopaths see in our Edmonton patients as well as alcohol.

As in many Autoimmune diseases, the gut can be a central component in other ways than food allergies.

Dysbiosis and Yeast overgrowth as well as gut barrier permeability are all factors that have to be considered.

We usually run a microbiome analysis (stool culture or CDSA) to assess bacteria, yeast and possibly parasites.

Hives - Assessing for provocative foods is of absolute importance in hives.

If the reactions happen shortly after eating your Naturopath will likely recommend Food Allergy Testing; if reactions are delayed we may elect for Food Sensitivity Testing.

You will likely be sent to Dr. Sumar for histamine analysis as well as analysis of deficiencies related to histamine production.

Our Naturopaths have seen many Edmonton patients with both provocative foods and deficiencies contributing to chronic hives. Occasionally low histamine diets can also be helpful for hives.

IV Therapy in Edmonton

IV Therapy for Skin Health in Edmonton

At TruMed Naturopathic Clinic in Edmonton, our naturopathic doctors take a functional medicine approach to skin health — focusing on the internal factors that drive inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature aging. For many patients dealing with acne, eczema, psoriasis, or dull, tired-looking skin, IV therapy provides a powerful, science-based way to nourish and rejuvenate from within.

With over 15,000 IV treatments delivered in Edmonton, TruMed is one of the city’s leading IV therapy clinics. By bypassing the digestive tract, IV drips deliver 100% bioavailable nutrients directly into circulation for faster, more reliable results than oral supplements.

Glutathione IV Therapy — The Master Antioxidant for Clear, Radiant Skin

Glutathione is your body’s most powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support liver detoxification — all of which contribute to clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

Our naturopathic doctors in Edmonton often use IV Glutathione therapy to support patients with:

Acne, rosacea, and inflammatory skin conditions
Dull or uneven skin tone
Hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory dark spots
Skin aging related to oxidative stress

Because oral glutathione is poorly absorbed, IV administration is the gold standard for achieving visible results. Many TruMed patients notice improved skin tone, a natural glow, and reduced breakouts within a few weeks of treatment.

For enhanced effect, our naturopaths often combine Glutathione IVs with Vitamin C infusions, which help regenerate and stabilize glutathione levels for longer-lasting antioxidant protection.

NAD+ IV Therapy — Cellular Repair & Anti-Aging from Within

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell that powers energy production and DNA repair. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline — leading to slower cell turnover, reduced collagen synthesis, and loss of skin elasticity.

At TruMed, we use NAD+ IV therapy to help rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level. By improving mitochondrial function and enhancing DNA repair, NAD+ supports:

Healthier, more resilient skin cells
Reduced signs of aging and oxidative damage
Improved texture, firmness, and tone
Enhanced overall vitality and glow

Patients who receive NAD+ IV therapy often report not just clearer, more youthful-looking skin, but also improved energy, focus, and mood — making it one of our most comprehensive wellness treatments.

Naturopathic Skin Rejuvenation in Edmonton

Our naturopaths understand that glowing, healthy skin begins with internal balance — hormone health, detoxification, and cellular repair all play crucial roles. That’s why at TruMed Clinic in Edmonton, we often integrate Glutathione and NAD+ IV therapy with nutritional optimization, hormone assessment, and functional medicine testing for lasting skin improvement.

If you’re struggling with acne, pigmentation, inflammation, or early signs of aging, our team can help design a personalized IV therapy protocol to restore your skin’s clarity and radiance from the inside out.
