Dr. Ludo Brunel, Naturopath

Dr. Ludo Brunel has always been fascinated by science especially as it pertains to nutrition, health, and longevity. He followed this fascination by receiving his degree in Human Nutrition from McGill University. After that, he went on to pursue his studies in Naturopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario and graduated in 2004.

Since the moment he earned his title of Naturopathic Doctor, he has had a passion and drive to make patients feel better. His goals and desires are to meet and exceed the needs of his patients, and to provide them with the best tools available to get them to their goals of optimal health and wellness.

Time and time again, patients state that the care that Dr. Brunel had provided was the most helpful they have received.
Dr. Brunel has been fortunate in many ways. He was fortunate to work within one of the largest preventative health programs ever offered in Canada for more than a decade. He helped thousands of patients improve their health by focusing on preventative health and wellness. He feels so blessed to have been a part of that incredible experience, as it helped him gain a remarkable amount of knowledge and expertise. In addition to this, he also had the privilege of assisting in the formulation of several dietary vitamins and supplements for some of the most advanced supplement companies in Canada.
His enthusiasm for Naturopathic medicine is exemplified when you read his articles and hear him speaking in public. One of his primary roles as a doctor is to inform and educate. Dr. Brunel has written a multitude of articles and has given hundreds of presentations on varied topics specifically to help others obtain the tools they need to take better care of themselves.

Dr. Brunel sees patients for general naturopathic medicine. Being a father, he loves to work with all families and children. His special areas of interest include insomnia, depression, anxiety, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal health, allergies, men’s health, aging wellness, and sports medicine.

Dr. Brunel utilizes several modes of therapy with his patients, including dietary supplementation, intravenous therapy, and prolotherapy- a form of injection therapy particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain and arthritis.

When Dr. Brunel is not doctoring his patients, writing articles, or presenting to small groups of people, he is spending quality time with his three children. Originally from Montreal, his heart drove him to Alberta for his love of the mountains, especially for hiking, skiing, and fishing. Dr. Brunel is excited to start your health and wellness journey with you.

Jami, Accounting Manager

I spent the first 20 years of my life living in Yuma, Arizona. I have been working in the business industry for over 8 years. Shortly after college, in 2003 I moved to Northern California where I started my career in the mortgage industry. During that time I not only met my husband Dr. Darren Scheirman but was also introduced to Chiropractic.

For several months I had been suffering from migraines. My M.D. had prescribed me numerous amounts of migraine medication. I quickly became a guinea pig for treatment as nothing seemed to work. All of the tests that I underwent came up inconclusive. At this point, I didn’t know what to do. It had been over 30 days straight of migraine pain.

Due to my frustration with the medical system, I decided to go to a chiropractor. I was and he suggested that I stop taking all of the medications. First of all, they didn’t seem to be helping my condition anyway, and second, they may have actually been one of the triggers of the migraine. I was always very open to chiropractic and made a decision to give it a try…. 100% of my attention. With the support of Dr. Scheirman, I stopped taking all medications and focused on a wellness approach. After numerous weeks of consistent chiropractic care, my migraines started to subside. Soon after, my migraines disappeared.

I do still get migraines from time to time, but Chiropractic care is the reason for their dramatic decrease. I now know the importance of chiropractic care in not only alleviating symptoms but also allowing me to live a normal life. It feels great to have my life back and to have control over my migraines rather than have them control me.

Because I have seen the value in chiropractic I look forward to helping you in any way that I can. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you achieve your health goals!
