Dr. Michael Schaplowsky, ND

If you are looking to start a Ketogenic diet this may be the place for you. Otherwise buyer beware. We saw Dr. Schaplowsky looking for support mainly with food sensitivities/intolerance for one of our children. I personally hoped to gain a better understanding and some control of what is causing GI upset as well as possibly being able to help with minor behavioural issues. I was hoping to work with Dr. Schaplowsky towards better health thinking that would look like figuring out intolerances and deficiencies. I was quite wrong. There were so many red flags at our consultation appointment it was almost difficult to keep track. From the moment we stepped into the office I felt like I was at a used car dealership. Dr. Schaplowsky was excited about his fix that will cure ALL of our problems (he actually stated that this will 100% fix" everything). His suggestion was an extremely limiting Ketogenic diet. For life. He had no other suggestions except to take an omega supplement that is nearly impossible to find and so we should only buy it from him and he is currently out of stock. When we explained that a Ketogenic diet is not right for our family (Keto has some great applications but it is not right for us) he just talked about how hard it is for the parents to stay strict and how we can have our kids trade in their Halloween candy for a Keto bar

It has been a year since I visited Dr. Michael and until my friends asked for recommendations for a Naturopath, I realized I hadn't posted my review from my personal experience. This was my first experience looking to fix my gut and acne issues through a holistic approach. I had 3 appointments with Dr Michael over the course of 2 months. He has one universal solution to every problem and that is to follow a very strict keto diet. Over the course of the month, My body started showing issues I never had before in addition to my existing problems. I developed hemorrhoids and when I told Dr. Michael about it, he said it was my body trying to rebalance itself and I should continue with it. Also when I told him about my concerns with increasing acne, he asked me if I had anything sweet and I said I had blueberries with whipped cream. And he says Ahh! When i said you can have blue berries

Very professional and personable!

I have seen a lot of doctors and non of them helped me . This is the first time a doctor really listened to me and explained to me what was going on and told me what to do to fix it.

Well I had fully intended to have my whole family attend until I met Dr.Schaplowsky and I was beyond disappointed for my daughter and the $200+ fee to have him ridicule the fact that we are vegan and stating if it were up to him we would be eating lots of meat. Not at all worth the money so I am still searching for a genuine, caring doctor for my whole family. His wife on the other hand is the reason we even booked. Guess lucky for him. Word to anyone looking make sure you do a meet and greet first. So sorry the gift for my daughter was such a nightmare!!!!

Dr. Michael know his stuff! When my wife & I went to go see him, we were on a plant based diet thinking that we were doing some good for our health in the future. But after a couple years on this diet we were having some issues. At first I was a bit skeptical at first when I met him, but after the first session(which took 3 hours. Shows how much he cares. He answered all our questions with hard data) he recommended changing our diet. Within 2 weeks, we noticed a huge difference in our energy and overall health.I would recommend him to anyone that is fed up going through the traditional way of seeing doctors and is looking for a real change.

We have been using Alpine health for 6 years. Dr Mike has made us aware that my son who was sick for 12 years doesn’t agree with gluten. so after eliminating it from his diet he hadn’t been to a regular doctor for 5 years because nothing has been wrong. No more Antibiotics.After that he put my 86 year old Grama who was getting frail on a higher protein diet and she literally is as strong as she was 5 years ago.He has also treated me for breast cancer for the past 3 years with vitamin C and other supplements.My GP Doctor is even now interested in what Dr.Mike has to say.I recommend Alpine Health to anyone and everyone.

We went to Dr. Schaplowsky with my son's concerning ADHD symptoms. He knew what to do and suggested specific dietary changes. Within a week we had a much calmer, more focused kid. We are very grateful and happy with our experience!

I’ve struggled with gut issues all my life, but after following the diet Dr Schaplowsky recommended, all my symptoms improved. I’ve been able to heal my gut by switching to a very adaptable diet.

It’s been over a year now since our visit and I kept delaying even posting anything because I don’t really like to post bad reviews. The cost to see this man was $250. The biggest waste of money ever. And it seems from the reviews that he is limited to giving out diet programs alone when many people, especially those with chronic diseases need a much more complex and comprehensive approach to their care. His demeanor is off putting to say the least and his offerings for naturopathy seems to be extremely limited. He should really reconsider this field if he is going to continue to provide a cookie cutter approach. Most people come to naturopathy with the idea that they will be considered as a whole person and not just another body. It’s truly sad. There are good naturopaths out there….not sure he is on the list unless of course you don’t have Google and don’t know how to follow a ketogenic or paleo diet on your own.
