What We Do

 

As licensed Naturopathic Physicians (NDs), we:

• • Diagnose, treat, and prevent disease
• • Order labs, blood work, imaging
• • Work within the health care system as a natural, minimal-intervention  doctor
• • Work in conjunction with MDs, DOs, DCs, APRNs, RNs, etc.
• • Treat many of the same issues for which one typically seeks MD care

 

However, We Do It Differently.

Conventional medicine often does external work, rather than working from within.  Physiology is frequently overridden with medications or surgery before exhausting other options. I truly believe the body has the ability to heal itself.  Therefore, the goal of my recommendations is  to support and encourage physiology through nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, homeopathy, herbs, etc.  We begin with the gentlest approach, and then pursue more invasive treatments, if needed. 

 

When Would I Go to See an ND?

1. • Anytime
2. • For general well care and preventive care
3. • For acute issues - colds and flus, nausea or vomiting, sinus or urinary tract infections, or when preparing for/ recovering from surgery
4. • For chronic issues - heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, or obesity
5. • For prevention - minimize stroke, cardiovascular disease, or cancer risks

• • To decrease toxicity, increase nutritional status, and increase overall wellbeing

 

What Is Considered When Designing a Treatment Plan?

1. 1. Each treatment plan discusses the individual patient's lifestyle and diet.  The plan is created to encourage the prevention of illness by strengthening and supporting the body's natural intelligence and removing obstacles to the patient's well being.  We look at the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.
2. 2. Obstacles to be removed – toxins, bad habits, constipation, dehydration, irritations, sensitivities,…

3. 3. Needs to be fulfilled  – nutrition, water, breath, love
4. 4. Tendencies to consider – to proactively prevent possible future illnesses
5. 5. Natural medicines, remedies available to be prescribed

 

 

Some Treatment Modalities Offered at Natural Family Health, LLC:

 

 

What to Expect On Your First Visit

An initial office visit lasts about 2 hours and consists of a complete health history, medication and supplement review, and pertinent physical exams.  From the beginning of our work together, we create a clear vision for your health goals and a plan for how to achieve that vision.  It is important for us to maintain ongoing communication of your needs and your goals.  You will always have a very specific treatment plan that consists of dietary recommendations, supplements, and lifestyle modifications.

 

What Type of Laboratory Testing Is Offered?

This will depend on your individual need.  If you have had previous lab work done, please bring a copy with you to your first visit.  In addition to a set of basic blood work, the doctor may request specialized tests that help to illuminate the cause of an imbalance.  Some examples of these tests include a micro-nutrient test, an Adrenal Stress Index, Comprehensive Metabolic Profile, and others.  These will be discussed in more detail during your visits, if needed.
