TRUESTAR HEALTH OPENS HEALTH & WELLNESS CLINIC WITH PROGRAMS SUITED FOR FAST-PACED LIFESTYLES

First Ever One-On-One Preventative Wellness Clinic

TORONTO, ON: TRUESTAR HEALTH has taken their interactive approach to good health from the web, to one-on-one attention in a luxurious wellness clinic in downtown Toronto launching this month. Expanding on the success of the online health and wellness programs on www.truestarhealth.com, the Truestar Health and Wellness Clinic team includes ten healthcare practitioners interested in every step of a patient’s individual progress. The Wellness Clinic team will treat patients on all levels, from the cells, to the organs and spine, to the mind and brain. Patients who visit the Truestar Health and Wellness Clinic will not only be treated by a specialist, they will be cared for by a team of specialists. The team will meet and discuss an individual’s case on a regular basis in order to monitor treatment at the clinic and make recommendations that the patient may not have considered. This may include seeing more than one specialist at the clinic.

“We work our whole lives to have ‘the good life’ only to pay for it with our poor health in retirement years,” says Dr. J.J. Dugoua, Truestar Health Clinic Director and naturopathic doctor. “The good life is created by healthy habits formed early.”

It is the first-ever preventative wellness clinic where each patient is assigned to a case manager. Each case manager will check in with the patient on a regular basis, free of charge, to monitor the patient as they reach their health goals. Patients with employee benefits packages or private insurance plans may charge the costs of these services under annual coverage for naturopathic medical treatments, chiropractic, osteopathy, massage therapy, shiatsu therapy, nutrition and/or acupuncture. Services such as the anti-aging and weight loss programs and detoxification may also be covered under naturopathic medicine and nutrition.

Unique services at the Truestar Health and Wellness Clinic include:

• Intravenous therapies
• Genetic testing
• Blood vitamin level testing
• Heavy metal testing and detoxification programs
• Cosmetic acupuncture
• Custom orthotics
• Resting metabolic rate evaluations
• Infrared sauna (coming in September)

With recent cuts to preventative health care, it has become imperative for the public to take responsibility for improving their daily lives by investing in healthy eating education and fitness programs. Beyond trauma care, the medical profession offers nothing in a preventative healthcare model. The Truestar Clinic will not only do their very best to treat any acute problem, they’ll provide further preventative care.

Health doctors associated with the Wellness Clinic include: Dr. JJ Dugoua, ND (Clinic Director and Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine); Dr. Adrian Jaoquin, DC (Chiropractor); Sam Gibbs (Osteopathic techniques); Dr. Astrid Chong (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine); Dr. Natasha Turner ND (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine); Dr. Sussanna Czeranko (Detoxification); Dean Lorick, RMT (Registered Massage Therapist); Sarah Young (Shiatsu Therapist); Sofia Segounis (Nutritionist), Greg Welstead (Life Coach); and members of the Truestar Health Team.
