Dr. Alexandra Verge ND

Dr. Alexandra Verge is naturopathic doctor and clinic owner who has been in practice for over 20 years. Her undergraduate degree in Nutritional Sciences is an area of interest she continues to highlight in her clinical work, particularly given her focus on cardiovascular health. She especially loves helping people better understand how high blood pressure and high cholesterol affect their current and future cardiovascular risk while developing manageable yet effective strategies to mitigate these same factors. Her long-term goal is to showcase how integrative medicine can play a valuable role in cardiovascular care and help mitigate the global burden of cardiovascular disease. In addition to provincial and federal professional organizations, her memberships include
Hypertension Canada, National Lipid Association (NLA), European Society of Cardiology, American College of Cardiology, and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.
