About Nature’s Helper Naturopathic Clinic

What is Nature’s Helper Naturopathic Clinic?

Nature’s Helper Naturopathic Clinic is a naturopathic practice at 2 Tunxis Road Ste 116 in Tariffville, Connecticut. Dr. Stacey Munro, N.D. is the only prescriber named. She is a naturopathic physician who has been treating adults, teenagers, and children for chronic health issues since 2007. The practice is mainly naturopathic medicine, and weight loss is one of several services. The others are nutritional and herbal supplements, food sensitivity and adrenal hormone testing, physicals and preventative medicine, laboratory testing, menopause treatment, diabetes management, and osteoporosis care. The clinic has a 4.6 rating on Google from 19 reviews and is listed as a wellness center.

Its weight loss work centers on two programs. In its own words: “Ultra Lite is a physician-monitored weight loss diet offered at our Tariffville, Connecticut clinic.” Ultra Lite uses a structured eating plan designed to maintain a low level of ketosis, checked at home with urine test strips. Office visits are weekly for the first five weeks, then biweekly until goal weight is reached. FirstLine Therapy is a Mediterranean-style eating and exercise plan that starts with baseline labs and body composition testing and can include medical food. The clinic also names bio-identical HRT in its hormone care. It lists Simsbury, Granby, East Granby, Windsor, Suffield, Windsor Locks, Bloomfield, Enfield, Avon, Southwick, MA, and other towns as areas it serves.

What does it cost?

Ultra Lite costs $125 to start and $196 per month after that. The clinic calls these additional out-of-pocket costs. Insurance is accepted for Ultra Lite office visits. The clinic does not say whether the monthly fee includes medical food or supplements.

FirstLine Therapy has no published program price. Insurance is accepted for its office visits, but nutritional supplements, including medical food, are an additional charge. The clinic does not publish a consultation fee, a FirstLine Therapy price, or any hormone therapy prices, so ask for each one before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ultra Lite is described as physician-monitored, and Dr. Munro is the only person named as prescriber. Ask which clinician monitors the program, who signs any prescription, and what that clinician’s credentials are.

Ask whether the $196 monthly fee covers the protein packets, the potassium supplement, and the multivitamin the program uses. Ask whether any prescription weight loss medication is part of either program. None is named on the clinic’s pages.

For hormone care, ask whether the bio-identical HRT is brand-name or compounded, and what the consultation, labs, and follow-up visits cost. Ask what lab work and body composition testing cost under FirstLine Therapy.

Ask whether visits can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned, and what the office hours are. No hours are listed, so call (860) 217-1074. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a fee, because the clinic does not describe its membership or cancellation terms.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic practice in Tariffville with a physician-monitored weight loss diet and office visits, and you are willing to get every charge in writing before you start. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices, a named medical doctor on the prescription, or a clear telehealth option before you commit.
