Dr. Kyle Maynard – Naturopathic Doctor

Dr. Kyle Maynard, ND is one of the co-owners of Horizons Holistic Health Clinic. He has worked along side Dr. Michelle Decker, ND since opening in October 2016.

Known for his curiosity and creativity, Dr. Kyle takes a whole-body approach to care. When focusing on a specific concern, he looks for deeper connections and underlying causes for the most effective treatment. He believes in educating his patients, often using stories to explain the factors influencing their health. In his view, treatment is more successful when patients understand the reasons behind it.

Dr. Kyle recognizes the limitations of testing and supplements and generally takes a conservative approach to recommending them. As step five in the therapeutic order, he considers nutrition and supplementation within the broader context—taking into account when and for whom they are most appropriate. He believes that building personal awareness and establishing proper foundations of health are the first steps toward better health.

Whether you need an overall assessment, specific diagnosis, or targeted treatments to address stubborn or complex issues, Kyle will help develop a plan that matches your goals, values, and lifestyle.

As a naturopathic doctor he is well versed in managing and treating various medical concerns regarding the digestion, heart, lungs, hormones, diabetes, allergies and sensitivities. However, he has three areas of focus:

1. Brain and Mood health – ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, insomnia
2. Physical conditions – arthritis, radiculopathy, sprains/strains, low back pain, tendinopathy, tendonitis, neuropathy, bursitis, fasciitis, osteopenia/ osteoporosis, fractures, and pre- and post- surgical healing. I often use a range of modalities for this including Bioflex Low Level Laser Therapy.
3. The “undiagnosed” – He enjoys the mystery and the investigation. He is curious, he will believe you, he has time for you, and he will listen.

About me

Kyle was born and raised in Kamloops and a father of two amazing children. He spends his spare time hiking Mt. Tolmie, visiting parks and participating in local community events. In the evenings, he likes to experiment with different foods and cooking techniques such as incorporating more colours, working with non-gluten flours, figuring out which dairy-free cheeses are the best, and how to cook with less meat.
