Hello, I’m Dr. Jenna Weeks, N.D. a Naturopathic Doctor.
I was born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to server the people in this wonderful community become healthier and happier, one person at a time.
What Does a Naturopathic Doctor Do?
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I take a holistic approach to healthcare by looking at the whole person and exploring how different aspects of your health may all be interconnected.
I am trained to interpret blood work, make diagnoses within my scope of practice, and use comprehensive testing to help uncover underlying factors that may be contributing to a person’s health concerns.
Depending on your individual needs, this may include hormone testing, epigenetic analysis, food sensitivity testing, nutrient assessments, stool testing, SIBO and mold evaluations, thyroid analysis, blood work, and other specialized testing.
Rather than simply managing symptoms, I focus on understanding the underlying factors that may be contributing to your concerns and developing individualized recommendations based on your unique needs using diet, lifestyle, botanicals, and supplementation.
What Is the Difference Between a Naturopath and a Naturopathic Doctor?
Did you know that in New Brunswick, a naturopath and a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) are not the same thing?
A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) completes approximately eight years of post-secondary education, including an undergraduate science degree followed by four years of full-time naturopathic medical training at an accredited naturopathic medical school in Toronto or Vancouver.
After completing my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine training following my undergraduate studies in science, I have spent nearly a decade helping women, men, and children better understand their health and create personalized wellness plans through evidence-informed natural medicine.
My Approach
I believe that the body is interconnected, and that symptoms rarely exist in isolation. By looking at your health history, lifestyle, genetics, nutrition, and specialized testing, I work to understand how all the different pieces may be contributing to what you may be experiencing.
Many patients seek my support for concerns including:
• Gut health concerns such as IBS, SIBO, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and food sensitivities
• Fatigue, brain fog, stress, anxiety, and burnout
• Hormonal concerns including PMS, perimenopause, and menopause
• Thyroid concerns and challenges with weight management
• Skin concerns including acne, eczema, and psoriasis
• Chronic inflammation, joint pain, headaches, and sleep concerns
• Blood sugar balance, cholesterol support, and overall wellness optimization
Epigenetics & Personalized Health:
What sets my approach apart is that I am one of the few healthcare practitioners in Atlantic Canada incorporating epigenetic/nutrigenomics analysis into my practice. By looking at unique variations within your DNA, such as MTHFR and other SNPs, it provides insight into the unique biological factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
By understanding your individual genetic makeup, it helps me develop personalized recommendations tailored specifically to you, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Above all, my goal is for every patient to feel seen, heard, and validated and to know that they are not “crazy” for experiencing the symptoms they are experiencing, and to feel supported throughout their health journey.
A Little About Me
When I am not in my office helping people become the healthiest version of themselves, you can find me enjoying some dark chocolate, hiking in the woods, dancing, spending time at the gym, petting any animal that will let me, and dreaming about Greece.
