What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic Medicine, recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as a distinct medical specialty that combines traditional, complementary, and conventional medicine to address the root causes of illness and provide individualized, whole-health care.

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are trained in four-year, accredited doctoral-level medical school. In Washington, NDs are board-certified primary care doctors.

With prescriptive authority, diagnostic and treatment capabilities, and the ability to perform minor surgery, we share many of the same competencies as typical primary care doctors.

The naturopathic physician strives to thoroughly understand each patient's condition, and views symptoms as the body's means of communicating an underlying imbalance. Thus, treatments address the patient's underlying condition, rather than just the symptoms.

Naturopathic Doctor: Scope of Practice:

Why Work With a Naturopathic Doctor?

With a focus on root-cause diagnostics, naturopaths go beyond surface-level symptom relief, uncovering hidden factors like hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut barrier breakdown, and environmental toxicities that silently undermine health.

NDs are uniquely trained in preventative medicine, botanical medicine, diet & nutrition, stress management, environmental medicine, nutraceuticals, functional lab testing, mental health counseling, and more.

By blending advanced testing and targeted natural therapies, they craft highly personalized treatment strategies that not only help you feel better but can optimize your long-term performance, energy, and resilience.

Our ultimate goal is to get you spending less time in the doctor’s office, and more time doing what you love.
