Safiyya Kamalodeen, Naturopathic Doctor, Woodbridge, ON

My journey is a strange one but I am so happy to end up here with you. I graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and practiced medicine in Trinidad and Tobago. I was always fascinated by Obstetrics and Gynecology as a specialty and my favourite time in the hospital was on the labour ward helping bring babies into the world and seeing pregnant patients for their prenatal visits. Pregnancy is an exciting and vulnerable time for us women as our entire body shifts and alters to accommodate a growing fetus. This is just one of the many sacrifices a mother makes for her unborn child. Infertility is on the rise and there are countless couples trying to have a family who just can’t. If you’re one of them, I want to help you get the life that you want. And first we need to take control of your health. The human body cannot support a growing fetus if it’s not ready to support a growing fetus. I’m here to help you do that. I became a naturopathic doctor so that I could educate my patients about their body so that they can get pregnant naturally. I became a naturopathic doctor so that I can spend more time with my patients and get to the root of their issues to help them better. From PCOS to endometriosis, fibroids to autoimmune diseases, there are many reasons that make it harder to get pregnant. And we will work together to overcome that and get you the family that you want. It doesn’t stop at pregnancy either! Postpartum is a challenging transition into motherhood and having a strong support system and healthy coping mechanisms can get you to the other side. And I will help you along every step of the way.

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.
