Dr. Samantha Sapi, Naturopathic Doctor, Fergus, ON

Dr. Samantha discovered her love for naturopathic medicine while originally pursuing an undergraduate degree in forestry. Samantha quickly realized that her love of the wilderness was superseded by her love of botanical medicine and emergency wilderness medicine during the first aid components of her classes. This sent her in a new direction where she discovered what naturopathic medicine was all about, and she was thrilled to have found her calling. Dr. Samantha moved to Fergus in 2021, and was searching for a space to open her clinic for over a year. She was so happy to learn of a new naturally focused shop conveniently located in the downtown of Fergus with a separate section of beautiful rooms available for practitioners. The Fergus Naturopathic Clinic was born and is continuing to grow! Dr. Samantha has been practicing now for a number of years and has been successful in establishing her practices in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as in Shelburne, Ontario (where you can still find her Mondays and Fridays!). Her goal has always been to open a clinic that supports her community, especially in a time where many people feel lost and hopeless about their health and the care they are receiving. FNC aims to support and care for our patients in a nurturing and nonjudgmental way - everyone is welcome and everyone deserves quality healthcare and practitioners that listen to you. Dr. Samantha is very happy to be located in such a beautiful spot, but always reminds her patients that FNC and Saeda Natural Wellness are separate entities and her patients are under no obligation to purchase from the shop when visiting her clinic. All recommendations by practitioners at FNC will be available via an online dispensary if needed, or can be accessed at a healthcare shop of your choosing.

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.
