Closely observing and learning from his 40 years of experience with thousands of patients, coaching hundreds of doctors across many disciplines and international health care ecosystems created opportunities that have influenced me and my understandings in profound ways. I have experienced directly how simple, effectively personalized, practical shifts in understandings and lifestyle habits reliably build vitality, resilience, joy and peace. My knowing compels me to continue to learn how best to empower others to take more responsibility for their own health and performance, and enjoy the process. I am deeply passionate about supporting the innate healing power (vital force) that infuses all human beings. My work Naturopathic Physician has advanced my knowledge of the modalities that have withstood the test of time and proven to assist health and healing. I am inspired by the confluence of inside-out preventative healthcare, yoga, breathwork, the pelvic floor and how we can foster a deeper connection with our wild feminine/masculine to blossom into our most radiant selves! I am presently applying my understandings and expanding on them through my work at Percival Naturopathic Medicine, V-Metrics and Health Coach Systems International alongside my father, Mark Percival, and my sister Lexi Percival (Bachelor of Commerce- Business Technology Management and Entrepreneurship) who has been living, learning and kindling similar passions alongside me for two decades. We have co-founded V-Metrics: The Health Creation Lab to solve for what we believe to be the most fundamental gaps in healthcare today. The health and performance optimization system that we are developing promises to revolutionize personal health and performance. Stay tuned!

One of the most common conditions women experience during their first trimester of their pregnancy is nausea and vomiting and although it is quite normal, it can cause women a lot of stress and fatigue as well as a loss of a lot of nutrients and fluids.

The cause isn’t fully understood. However, it’s mainly due to the increase – the exponential increase of hormones experienced during this time, mainly HCG, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones have effects on all other cells in the body as well which can cause some of these gastrointestinal symptoms women feel.

Although nausea can be very frustrating and tiring for women, there are a lot of treatment options to help. Simple things like changing your diet and your lifestyle can make a huge impact, like having regular exercise or ensuring that there’s always food in your stomach. Having an empty stomach can actually make the nauseating symptoms much more severe. So keeping a snack in your purse or in your car will help alleviate some of these symptoms.

Dehydration is common in women with increased nausea and vomiting so it’s really important to find ways to replenish fluid in the body. If you’re not able to keep water down or have trouble taking in water, intravenous vitamin therapy is a great alternative.

With this treatment, your naturopathic doctor can also infuse vitamins directly into your blood stream. Vitamins such as B6 and B12 will help decrease the nauseous feeling as well as increase energy throughout your pregnancy. Again, it depends on the patient. And we often will design very specific treatment plans in terms of supplements and dietary change to help with these symptoms.  Lab tests, of course, play a big role in diagnosing digestive issues. So, we would look at systemic levels of inflammation. We can also measure hydrogen and methane on the breath to determine if there are any microorganisms contributing to these symptoms.  If you’re experiencing digestive issues of any kind and you’d like to learn more about what’s causing these symptoms, see your local naturopathic doctor.
