My name is Shakila Mohmand and I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor. I am excited to officially join the team at Orleans Naturopath where I have collaborated with Dr. Danika Sicard ND over the past two years. My educational background consists of obtaining a four year Bachelor's of Science degree in Honours Biomedical Science with a minor in Psychology at the University of Ottawa. I then went on to pursue a four year Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine located in Toronto. In addition to my ND license, I have also met the naturopathic standards of practice for prescribing and therapeutics in Ontario, allowing me to offer my patients a broader scope of care. I have experience working with a wide range of conditions as well as patient populations. To me, the naturopathic principle of “doctor as teacher” is something I highly resonate with as my goal with patients is to treat the root cause and educate in order to empower each individual on their own health journey.

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.
