About Me
Dr. Julek Meissner
Registered Homeopath, N.D. (Ret).
Over 40 years experience in holistic health care
Witnessing the wonders of the body and its capacity for self healing and greater well-being is what inspires me most as a natural health care practitioner in private practice in Ottawa. I am happy to say that after more than 40 years of experience in holistic health care, I feel as passionate about my work today as I did when I first began my holistic health care career in 1983. I also feel like I’ve evolved as a practitioner, having witnessed numerous patients recover from a remarkable variety of conditions, from severe GI problems to recurring throat infections, thyroid imbalance to various skin problems, migraines to seasonal allergies, panic attacks to stress management, pediatrics and seniors health issues, PMS and other hormonal issues… the list goes on and on and on, and it never ceases to amaze me how powerful our body’s natural self-healing abilities are when the right homeopathic prescription is arrived at.

Is there a pattern in your self-healing abilities?
Behind every person who comes to see me in search of healing is a mystery. Together we can find clues to help enhance your well-being. I love listening and creatively piecing together seemingly unrelated elements in order to help my patients see new linkages in their body-mind-spirit connections that offer insight into which homeopathic medicine is best suited to help you heal. By using this holistic approach, we can shed light on old dysfunctional habits to facilitate a transformation toward self-healing.
Lifestyle matters for self-healing and greater well-being
From an early age, I was interested in our body’s self-healing abilities. I discovered how attitude and lifestyle choices affect our well-being, but also how significant events in our life can lead to chronic dis-ease. Eating well, exercising, practicing mindfulness and choosing health care methods that promote our body’s healing abilities are all lifestyle choices that have helped me stay healthy and at peace throughout my life.
When I first learned about naturopathic and homeopathic medicine, it was a life-changing experience for me. I was hooked! In 1983, I received my degree in naturopathy from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and am happy to say that I’m still grateful for finding this holistic approach to health care.
Weight loss in Ottawa
While primarily offering homeopathic medicine in Ottawa for the past 25 years, in that time I have deepened my knowledge and skills, adding weight loss coaching in Ottawa. With close to 9 million Canadians suffering from weight problems and so many weight loss methods to choose from, I felt it was important to learn more about helping people lose weight in a healthy way. I chose Metabolic Balance due to its emphasis on tailoring a food plan to your unique metabolism.
Metabolic Balance relies on blood analysis, an indispensable method to measure your health, evaluating numerous values, such as thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, lipid levels and so on. This analysis, combined with your personal health history and food preferences, forms the basis of your personalized Metabolic Balance nutrition plan. Together, we select appropriate foods to optimally support your metabolic equilibrium, promoting improved vitality, while detoxing your body and managing your weight safely and effectively.
