Naturopathic Doctor

Dr. Melissa Bucking ND

Hi there! I’m Dr. Melissa Bucking, a naturopathic doctor based in Ontario. I have a passion for all things gut health. When I was 16 years old, I started having a BUNCH of digestive issues. I was always in excruciating pain and running to the washroom. Unfortunately after endless testing and doctor’s visits, I was left without a diagnosis or a plan of action. However, I didn’t lose hope. I was determined to figure out what was going on in my body. And with the help of my studies at university and medical school, I healed my gut. Now, I help my patients who are dealing with digestive issues understand where their symptoms are coming from and provide them a plan of action for long-term results. Because here’s the thing – no matter what other specialists have told you, there’s a reason why you’re experiencing your symptoms. And I’m here to provide you with resources to help uncover them and actionable steps you can take each day to elevate your gut.

FAQ

  • Does this course provide treatment options?

    This course is for educational purposes only. While I am a naturopathic doctor and have provided my 1:1 patients with successful treatment options, I can't do this for you without knowing you. However, I know that understanding why you have IBS and the factors that trigger and support your gut will empower you to make well-informed decisions. This knowledge will also help you have a deeper conversation with your health care provider to co-create the optimal treatment plan for you.

  • When are the live Q&A calls? What if I can't make them
