At Balanced Health Integrative Pharmacy we strive to provide the highest level of pharmacy care through a true holistic approach in managing your health with both natural and conventional treatments. We encourage a more natural approach whenever possible. However, at the same time we do not want to dismiss conventional medicine all together which some alternative practitioners may do.
On the other hand we also want to be open minded and explore other alternative treatments when conventional medicine fails to address the issue. Unfortunately, many mainstream practitioners fail to acknowledge these possibilities. We also realize there are false claims in both natural and western medicines and at our pharmacy we want to focus on the treatments that really do work - whether that be natural or conventional.

Why Balanced Health? - Come and Experience the Difference and see Why we are Re-inventing the Practice of Pharmacy! Balanced Health Integrative Pharmacy is not your typical pharmacy! As soon as you step into our pharmacy, you will immediately feel a sense of calm and balance.
This stems from all the greenery, natural wood, stone and glass that have gone into the design of the pharmacy to the soft music playing in the background and the calm and positive energy radiated by our staff!At Balanced Health, we neither sell groceries, lottery tickets, confectionary, stamps, greeting cards nor home health care supplies or equipment (i.e., canes, walkers, etc.).

I first started in the pharmacy profession as a pharmacy technician at a large corporate drugstore back in the mid 90's. After realizing I had an aptitude and strong interest for the profession, I pursued my pharmacist education at UBC in 1998. I graduated in 2002 and became a licensed pharmacist. I feel so fortunate and privileged to have practiced pharmacy in a number of different settings.
Re-inventing the Profession of Pharmacy - What does Integrative Pharmacy mean to Pharmacist Peter Lee?. As we look around there are more and more integrative or integrated type of pharmacies popping up all around locally, across Canada and in the USA. What is common with all of these pharmacies is everyone sells a fair amount of natural products and there is some promotion of integrative medicine and/or a holistic approach.
A: Yes, absolutely! However, if you are open to it, our goal would be to encourage you to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals you have to take if possible and to do it in a safe manner. Our founder/owner, Integrative Health Pharmacist Peter Lee, has a vision and philosophy which is very different from his pharmacist colleagues.

Peter is the nicest pharmacist and he will go above and beyond in every interaction. His knowledge is vast as is his love for his customers. Peter will take the time to explain supplements to you and he will remember your health issues. There is no feat to great for Peter and he will do whatever it takes to make sure you feel like you are informed about your health and the products you use. He is also very caring and kind and he will make sure you leave his store feeling like you're informed. Peter works so hard to make every visit and conversation feel memorable. Honestly, pay a visit to Balanced

Thank you Peter for your ongoing knowledge and expertise in my wellness journey! You have made such a impact on my overall health and I am so grateful. Living in Kelowna and using your pharmacy for my scripts and supplements has been very easy with your quick refill and mail out service. I look forward to seeing you and your newly renovated location in September. Your the best!

Peter, the owner, has been a great help in figuring out a supplement plan to support a variety of health issues I have been managing. He went above and beyond helping me from the pharmaceutical side, and helped to find a physiotherapist who specializes in a condition I am living with. I like that he looks to support with natural means where possible but does not completely write off pharmaceutical measures when necessary. If you are managing complex issues, I highly recommend giving him a call to see what he suggests.

Peter the owner is very helpful and knowledgeable. If you need help with bio identical hormones he can answer your questions . He is a compounding pharmacy , carries high quality supplements and has some good books as well . You will pay a little more but it's worth the time he spends with his customers . He pays attention to your personal health needs ...listens and cares .

Avoid at all costs. Unprofessional staff. The place was closed during the hours listed as open. I had to wait outside for them to open. When the pharmacist finally arrived, she ignored that I had waited for her to come and didn't acknowledge me. As i proceeded to pay, I was looking for one specific product that I quickly picked up, she started calling her other clients as I was standing at the register to pay and ignored me standing there. By this point I had waited over 20 mins for her for a simple pick up. Very rude and unfriendly

I thought Peter was a very nice man but I didnt like him talking about my health history in front of his employ. It was late and it was just us three and the other lady was just standing behind him starring.mi felt very uncomfortable. I also didn't appreciate him trying to sell me on seeing one of his doctors or naturopaths when I am currently seeing another. Overall he definitely is definitely passionate about what he does but this whole experience has left me not knowing if I'll go back.
