Special Announcement

This September will mark our practice's 10-year anniversary. Each year has brought with it increased options for patient care. We have grown into Calgary's most sophisticated medical clinic that is not supported by Alberta Health and Wellness. We are celebrating 10 years of clinical excellence. Our out-of-the-box thinking and patient-centered decision making has made us a leading choice for patients looking to understand and comprehensively manage their health for the long term.

To facilitate communication with patients regarding the care opportunities available at the clinic we have created an email newsletter. Monthly newsletters contain brief updates on any changes that may be important to patients, current special offers in the Medical Spa and snapshots about health topics of current public interest. Quarterly newsletters are more extensive and showcase what is achievable at the clinic.


Mesotherapy

Are you looking after yourself, but you need a little extra help to deal with some body composition trouble spots. You may want to consider mesotherapy. These treatments reduce spot fat accumulation. Chins, legs, bellies and backs can all be treated. This is an excellent way to get introduced to our body contouring services. All individual treatments are 25% off. Book a complementary consultation with Dr. Nardella to assess your needs.

Health Snapshot

In a recent Clinic interview with CBC radio, the topic was detoxification. Apparently, the concept of detoxification is popular after Stampede week. Poor quality diets and excessive alcohol consumption do have a negative effect on our health. This is because our bodies have a limited ability to process unnecessary or harmful substances that we may ingest. Other influences are also responsible for impaired detoxification. Long term environmental exposures, undiagnosed allergies and a genetic predisposition toward poor detoxification can result in an inability to properly eliminate harmful substances from the body.

There are serious long term consequences from impaired detoxification. If toxins are not eliminated from the body, then they are stored in our body tissues. Disease states such as cancer may be the result. The clinic mostly sees chronic conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, digestive and hormonal disorders associated with impaired detoxification.

It is most important to incorporate support for your body's detoxification system on a daily basis and make it sustainable for the long term. Interventions (intense detoxification for short periods of time) are appropriate in some circumstances. These interventions need to be linked to targeted outcomes and supervised by a physician. Each individual's needs are unique. Treatments range from lifestyle and nutrition modifications to specific interventions such as intravenous chelation or colon hydrotherapy. Proper assessment is encouraged as it ensures that someone's efforts at improving their detoxification system have merit and will yield sustainable benefits.
