Dr. Munkley offers complete health and wellness programs. Each program will be individually customized to your unique health needs.


Whole-Body Detoxification Program

There’s no doubt that we live in a toxic environment. Chemicals are found in house-hold cleaners, pesticides and fungicides, tap water, car exhaust fumes, pharmaceuticals, beauty products, and cigarette smoke. This places an incredible burden on our bodies, especially the liver and kidneys, our main organs of detoxification. The accumulation of toxins and toxic by-products in our organs and tissues can have profound effects on our physiology. Given the state of our world today, everyone can benefit from a detoxification, at least once a year.

This program involves a combination of dietary modifications and individually selected homeopathic drainage remedies, herbal formulas, and general lifestyle recommendations to stimulate and support the detoxification process.

An individualized detoxification program can help with a wide variety of health problems such as:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Skin conditions
  • PMS and menstrual problems
  • Multiple chemical sensitivities
  • Mood swings
  • Recurrent yeast infections
  • Diarrhea and/or constipation
  • Chronic infections

Benefits of the Naturopathic Whole-Body Detoxification Program include:

  • Increased energy
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved digestion
  • Healthier skin
  • Improved mood
  • Fewer allergies

Healthy Weight Program

Are you looking for a long-term solution to your difficulty losing weight and keeping it off? Most weight-loss programs only address short-term goals, such as losing a certain amount of weight in short period of time. The naturopathic approach to healthy weight loss includes education, therapeutic lifestyle changes, and sustainability. Weight loss is not as simple as “calories in/calories out”; there are many things that need to be addressed that can interfere with your ability to lose weight, such as hormonal imbalances, toxicity levels, food sensitivities, and stress. Ultimately, any weight-loss program needs to be individualized. Once the body is functioning properly, you can regulate your weight with much less effort.

This program involves a thorough diet and nutrition analysis and recommendations, education about the physiological obstacles that may be hindering your ability to lose weight, and individualized herbal, homeopathic, and supplemental recommendations to encourage weight loss and support whole body physiology.

Healthy Digestion Program – “The 4 R’s”

Many health conditions are relatively silent, develop slowly, and are difficult to detect, but digestive imbalances tend to present with overt symptoms such as gas, belching, heartburn, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. These are all very common indications of a less than optimally functioning digestive system. It is of great importance that your digestive system is in good health because of its many connections to other body systems. The health of the immune, nervous, and hormonal systems are very much dependent on a healthy digestive system.

This program focuses on the following 4 Rs:

Remove the parasites, yeast, fungus or pathogenic bacteria from the bowel
Replace the digestive factors to support optimal absorption of food
Reinoculate with specific bacterial strains to restore and support digestive health
Repair the digestive lining to prevent reoccurrence of future overgrowth

This program can help with a wide variety of health problems such as:

  • Gas and Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal cramps
  • Rectal itching
  • Nausea
  • IBS
  • Heartburn
  • Stomach Ulcers
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Ulcerative Colitis

Benefits of the Naturopathic Healthy Digestion Program include:

  • Weight loss
  • Increased energy
  • Improved Sleep
  • Healthier skin
  • Stronger immune system
  • Improved Moods
