Alea Bell
Clinical Focus: Digestive Health, Perimenopause/Menopause, and Children’s Health.
Dr. Alea Bell is a Naturopathic Doctor and Lab Consultant/Educator with a passion for helping individuals take control of their digestive health to live a vibrant, healthy life. She has an insatiable curiosity about the gut microbiome and its impact on overall health. This interest led her to join the team at Diagnostic Solutions Lab as a medical educator and consultant, specializing in lab tests such as the GI-MAP stool test, a comprehensive DNA stool test. She is fortunate to collaborate with practitioners around the world, educating, researching, and speaking on these topics, all backed by evidence-based research.
Dr. Bell understands that each person is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to gut health. During the first visit, she will take time to understand each patient’s health goals, conduct a thorough health history, and recommend appropriate testing. The second visit will focus on reviewing test results and creating a targeted plan of action. Dr. Bell’s goal is for her patients to feel heard, safe, empowered, and clear about their health plan moving forward.
Dr. Bell lives on Vancouver Island with her husband, two daughters, and a German Shepherd rescue. In her spare time, she enjoys skiing, paddle boarding, camping, gardening, and dabbling in macrame. Her naturopathic practice is 100% virtual and available to residents of British Columbia, Canada. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey and feel aligned with her approach, Dr. Bell would be honored to work with you!
