Naturopathic care, wherever you are. Yes, even from the combine. 🌾

We know your day doesn't pause for a drive into Dawson Creek, especially during harvest, a January snow storm, or just a regular Tuesday with a full schedule. That's what virtual visits are for.

Our latest blog post breaks down exactly how virtual visits work at Oak Clinic, and when you'll still need to come in.

Welcome, Bobby!
We're so happy to welcome Bobby Eng, Registered Acupuncturist, to Oak Clinic starting July 2nd! Bobby will be with us Tuesdays & Thursdays, covering acupuncture while Ally is away on sabbatical and we look for a permanent addition to the team.

Bobby blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with a movement-based, whole-body approach to healing, think needling, cupping, gua sha, and more.

A fun bit of trivia: Bobby's wife grew up here in the area, so he's excited for the chance to get to know Dawson Creek a little better this summer too!

📌 A couple of billing notes:
- We're not able to direct bill for Bobby's visits, but if you have acupuncture coverage, you can submit your receipt to your insurance yourself.
- Dr. Elena Moore, ND is also offering acupuncture appointments Tuesday–Friday, 3:30–5:00 PM, these are billed as naturopathic services under your ND extended benefits, not acupuncture coverage.

Book online or give us a call: https://oakclinic.janeapp.com/ #/staff_member/16/treatment/4

We can't wait for you to meet him!

A lot of people in northern BC are without a family doctor right now and most don't know that Naturopathic Doctors can prescribe a wide range of conventional medications, including antibiotics, hormone therapies, thyroid and blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and more.
We work alongside your existing care team, or as your primary provider when you don't have one.

Dr. Ayla really cranked out a long one this time.

https://oakclinic.ca/articles/why-your-iron-supplement-isnt-working---and-what-to-do-about-it

We promise it's worth the read. In this post she covers why testing ferritin alone isn't enough, what's quietly blocking your iron from absorbing (spoiler: your curcumin supplement might be on the list), and how to choose the right form of iron for your specific situation.

Allergy season doesn't have to mean surviving on antihistamines.

We now offer in-office allergy testing and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a prescription treatment that helps your immune system become less reactive to the things that trigger your symptoms over time.

SLIT may help with:
🌾 Seasonal allergies
🐱 Pet & dust mite allergies
👃 Chronic nasal congestion or runny nose
👁️ Itchy eyes or sneezing
🫁 Allergy-related asthma
🌿 Eczema & chronic skin reactions

No injections. No weekly clinic visits. Just a daily drop under the tongue, prescribed and personalized to your specific allergen profile.

Big news for anyone navigating perimenopause or menopause in BC 🌿

For those who may have missed it, as of March 1, 2026, many menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) medications are now covered at no cost under BC’s new National Pharmacare Plan, no extended health benefits required.

Check out the Article Here: https://oakclinic.ca/articles/menopausal-hormone-therapy-expanded-msp-coverage-in-bc

MHT can be a powerful tool for managing symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, mood changes, brain fog, and vaginal dryness. But with different types of estrogen, progesterone, and delivery methods available, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.

We just published a full breakdown on the Oak Clinic blog covering:
- Topical vs oral vs vaginal estrogen and when it’s used
- Micronized progesterone vs MPA
- Exactly which medications are covered under Plan NP

A naturopathic doctor can help you figure out if MHT is right for you, reviewing your health history, ordering baseline bloodwork, prescribing the right option, and following up to make sure you’re feeling your best. And if it’s a good fit, your prescription is covered.
