The gut-brain connexion

Healthy neuro-hormonal, immune and metabolic communication

Putting an end to Gut Aches

Hello, my name is Jean-Pierre Deschênes and I’m the founder of NaturaMed.

One day, I had to consult a doctor for intolerance problems, and I didn’t get any answers from today’s traditional medicine. I was introduced to massage therapy, then meditation and naturopathy, which gave me the solutions I was looking for to stop being affected by my intolerances.

Because I can’t imagine life without radiant health, I devote all my energy to empowering people.

As a specialist in stomach aches and digestive problems, I offer support for people with chronic digestive or intestinal problems, so that they no longer experience pain, gas, bloating, indigestion, sluggishness or constipation.

I offer unique support through the fusion of several approaches such as naturopathy with the microbiota and the global and interconnected vision of systems, mindfulness meditation, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and much more for the empowerment of one’s health.

In addition to our private consultations and coaching, our latest offering is a highly affordable 8-week online program bringing real transformation and lasting results for belly health.

For more information, please visit the Mindfulness-Based Gut Health Program page. Thank you!

🙏

CONSULTATIONS

Shall we chat a little before making an appointment?

I offer you a 15-minute exploratory call.

This call is an opportunity to get to know each other briefly and to confirm that we’re comfortable working together.

It’s not a consultation, but a first contact to see if we click!

Naturopathy and a Healthy Gut

Naturopathy is great for relieving and getting to the root causes of stomach aches, intolerances and digestive problems of all kinds. We have a well-stocked toolbox with physical approaches (plants, nutritherapy, essential oils, etc. and 4 years of training or 1350 hours for over 20 years), energetic approaches (expert in homeopathy, Qi-gong for 35 years, EFT, practical and integrated kinesiology) and spiritual approaches (deep meditation for 35 years).

We continue to educate ourselves, such as our recent participation in the summer of 2024 in a Parisian conference on tummy health: irritable bowel syndrome, SIBO, Leaky Gut, microbiota dysbiosis, endocrine disruptors, with, among others, doctors and/or PhD students Dr Gasmi, Dr Donatini, Dr Amarti, Dr Boyer, Dr Résimont, Dr Bilström and Dr Wetchoko.

Mindful Eating

Transform your relationship with food, one food at a time

How I can help you

Have you tried several approaches and products that didn’t work? Do you feel you’ve wasted time and money and your health continues to decline?

I went through this with stomach aches, mental fog, fatigue before discovering that I had food intolerances and hypoglycemia in addition to a depressed mood.

I did my bit by taking my health in hand with help.

Over the years, I’ve developed some trippy tools that put the power back into your health to get your tummy back 💩 happier with more lightness 😊!

(see About us)

How does it work?

The first virtual consultation (FaceTime, Messenger video or Google Meet) lasts 90 minutes, during which we review the health assessment – sent and completed beforehand – the reasons for consultation, your expectations and our recommendations.

Additional functional field and vitality tests may be recommended for a better gut-brain connection.

We offer follow-up visits lasting sixty minutes per month and weekly coaching sessions lasting fifteen minutes to maintain motivation, reassess your condition and adjust recommendations accordingly.

The length of follow-up depends on the health issue.

Mindful Eating and Gut Health

 

Digestive discomforts and stomach aches are often relieved by eating mindfully. Did you know that our digestion and absorption of nutrients is 40% better just by eating mindfully?

This means we naturally feel more nourished because we actually are! Stomach aches are often linked to stress and the unconsciousness of eating foods that don’t suit us. With mindfulness, we can better understand which foods are right for us and which aren’t, and how much we need to eat to feel satisfied.

Mindful eating is an essential gateway to better digestive and general health.

Professional advice and follow-up care

______________________

“Jean-Pierre has helped me a few times with health-related problems, and I’m really grateful. He has a professional approach and takes the time to listen to us. This is much appreciated. His warnings and recommendations are still part of my dietary follow-up. Even today, a simple phone call is enough to update my health status.

I recommend her naturopathic services to anyone who wants professional advice and assured follow-up.”

 

Christine B., Montreal

Quality support and health education

______________________

“I’ve always had fragile health, and at the age of 25, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease…

Today, it’s with a great deal of gratitude to life and to the beautiful people who stood in my way that I can finally say I’m healthy again!

As a naturopath, Jean-Pierre Deschênes, is one of the precious people who has been able to offer me quality support and health education to guide me towards lifestyle habits that generate health!…”

Judith H., Montréal

He takes the time to listen to you

“Would you like to take care of your health using natural means with a passionate, professional naturopath who practices what he teaches? Consult Jean-Pierre Deschênes, ND.A., who specializes in gastrointestinal problems related to stress, anxiety and insomnia. He takes the time to listen to you and advises you according to your current needs.”

Roland B., Brossard

I still can't believe it...no more pain!

________________________

“I consulted Jean Pierre for a general malaise in my body (back pain, stomach pain, sciatica, legs, restless sleep, etc.). I was always in pain somewhere! I was taking Advils and Tylenols at least two days out of three).

Jean Pierre helped me choose the right foods to regain optimal health, and the right quantities to find a balance. I followed his recommendations to the letter and the pain disappeared completely. My back and sciatica used to ache when I rode my motorcycle for 1 hour. I’ve just come back from a 5000 km motorcycle-camping trip and no pain…I still can’t believe it.

I highly recommend Jean Pierre for his attentiveness, his life experience, his skills, his knowledge and above all his passion for human health.”
