Dr. David Vojtisek, Naturopathic Doctor, Albert, AB

"Born and raised in what is now part of the Czech Republic, I moved to Edmonton in early 1980. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Alberta and then went on to earn my degree in Naturopathic Medicine at Toronto's Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. I have been practicing at the St.Albert Naturopathic Clinic since 2010. My wife, Dr. Kawai also joined the team in 2016. I will consider it a great privilege to assist you on your path to well-being. I have received further training in Intravenous Therapies, Oxidative(Ozone) Therapies, Therapeutic Injections and Intravenous Chelation Therapy. I enjoy an eclectic practice, seeing patients of all ages and addressing all health concerns, and have taken a special interest in successfully treating digestive health, food sensitivities, skin conditions, mood disorders, hormone related concerns, sleep issues, stress/anxiety, integrative cancer care, fatigue, heavy metal toxicity and cardiovascular health. Recently, I have been researching and increasingly treating SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) which presents with symptoms consistent with IBS such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, heartburn, nausea abdominal pain and cramping. It is my belief that we all need to be intimately involved in attaining and maintaining our own health and I strive to empower each and every one of my patients to be able to take an active role in doing so. I also believe in leading by example and I balance my busy practice schedule with being a proud father to our daughter Ayako and activities such as tennis, regular sauna detox, bird watching, yoga and spending time in Canada's great outdoors!

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.
