Nutrition Naturopaths in 89523
As both a Naturopathic Doctor and a Family Nurse Practitioner, I strive to combine the best of both worlds- evidenced-based natural therapies and conventional western medicine. I provide holistic primary care, with a focus on prevention and optimal health. I enjoy working with patients on hormone balancing, women's health issues such as PMS, PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, gut health, optimizing sleep, mood issues, thyroid and adrenal health, and fatigue. The best part of my job is listening carefully to patients and providing safe, natural and noninvasive treatment for their health concerns.

Nutrition Naturopaths
Do naturopaths offer nutrition counseling?
Many naturopaths do offer nutrition counseling. In fact, those credentialed as naturopathic doctors (NDs) receive specialized training in nutrition as part of their 4-year training curriculum in naturopathic medicine. Traditional naturopaths with less formal training may vary substantially in their knowledge of nutrition. However, in general, naturopathy encourages the use of lifestyle interventions, such as diet, as an alternative to medication intervention, thus rendering many naturopaths particularly interested in the topic of nutrition. Some naturopaths may adhere to a specific nutritional philosophy, such as only consuming unprocessed foods, while others may see food as an adjunct to other lifestyle interventions, such as physical exercise and herbal supplementation. When searching for a naturopath, therefore, clients should consider their own therapeutic goals and comfort level with various nutrition interventions, as well as the credentials of the specific naturopathic practitioner.
