Gudrun M Welder, ND is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with 25 years of experience in natural and complementary healthcare. She treats individuals of all ages and health conditions, combining conventional research diagnostics, bloodwork, and physicians’ reports with a deep appreciation for the less obvious aspects of healing that science may not yet fully explain.
Gudrun’s approach begins with foundational health-addressing nutrient levels, organ functions, and systemic balance – before exploring more peripheral treatments which may be trending on social media. She takes pride in helping patients recognize overlooked aspects of their health, empowering them to rethink assumptions and explore new paths to wellness.
Her core modalities include nutrition (diet and supplement), acupuncture, bodywork, homeopathy, and botanical medicine. While she welcomes all health concerns, she has extensive experience supporting individuals with digestive issues of all types, allergies, sensitivities, neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, and endocrine disorders, including thyroid issues, diabetes, skin conditions, fertility challenges, weight management, male and female hormone imbalance. Her acupuncture and bodywork treatment are tailored to alleviate stress, pain and injury, promoting both physical and emotional well being.
Gudrun has intentionally chosen not to obtain prescribing rights, believing that her practice offers ample tools to support healing. For those seeking bio-identical hormones, desiccated thyroid, or other pharmaceuticals, she recommends consulting a naturopath with prescribing rights.
While Gudrun has access to the integrated laboratory services offered by many Naturopaths and other functional medicine practitioners, she emphasizes the use of standard bloodwork – available through family physicians, LifeLabs, or Dynacare – as a cost -effective and reliable diagnostic foundation.
