Dr. Kate Kokoski was born and raised in Calgary and completed her undergraduate degree graduating with honors from the University of Calgary. She completed a four-year medical program in Toronto at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Dr. Lofting graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. He has been practising in Calgary since 1995.
Many years ago, as a competitive athlete Dr. Lofting was no stranger to good health. But when fatigue became commonplace with him, and his family M.D. gave him the classic response, “Tests show everything is ok. Come back when you’re sick.” he turned elsewhere. He decided to try suggestions from a naturopathic doctor on how to improve overall health by improving digestion.
Within three weeks, his energy increased to an all time high, he felt a tremendous sense of well-being and his mental acuity went up. This motivated him to enquire further into naturopathic medicine.
Taking charge of your health is congruent with taking charge of your life and living well. My goal as a Naturopathic Doctor is to create individualized health plans that educate, inspire and motivate people to feeling and living their very best.
What makes Naturopathic Medicine so interesting and rewarding is its ability to merge new scientific research with traditional health practices and western diagnostic techniques with eastern health philosophy. This enables me to treat the full spectrum of health concerns using a diverse range of therapies. My specialized areas of focus include Women’s Health issues (irregular cycles, PCOS, thyroid concerns, menopause), Fertility (difficulty conceiving, poor sperm count/quality, IVF support), Stress management and Weight concerns.
Away from my clinical practice, you will always find me “living life to the fullest”—whether it’s playing soccer, tennis or hiking in the mountains. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your life potential. – See more at: http://vivehealth.ca/dr-patti-yik/#sthash.RTQPccn3.dpuf
