Endocrinology Naturopaths in Placer County, CA
I was born and raised in Auburn, California and am a 1996 graduate of Bastyr University, the leading naturopathic medical school in North America. Growing up with my dad as a local doctor inspired me to pursue medicine myself. Personal illness with questions left unanswered by western medicine led me in the direction of naturopathic medicine. I am passionate about helping people find their optimal health. I fill up my free time with my husband and 2 beautiful daughters. Together we enjoy rock-climbing, horse back riding, surfing, gardening and just being together.

Online Naturopaths
As a California-licensed primary care naturopathic doctor, my primary goal is to partner with you to prevent illness, but if a "dis-ease" is present, to utilize the most natural, non-toxic, and least invasive therapies first. Another critical priority is finding the underlying cause(s) of illness, not merely treating symptoms, therefore, I use hundreds of diagnostic and functional medical labs to help diagnose. My special areas of expertise are: balancing body; diabetes/cardiometabolic; mood (depression, anxiety); hormonal balance (i.e. thyroid, adrenal, bio-identical hormones); healthy aging; weight/fat loss; exercise/nutrition/managing stress; fatigue, optimal health.

Endocrinology Naturopaths
Do naturopaths practice endocrinology?
Yes, many naturopaths practice endocrinology, which refers to the study of hormones within the body. Hormones are signaling molecules that regulate key bodily functions, such as growth, sleep, stress, sexual health, and temperature regulation. Many naturopathic remedies draw on the idea of hormonal imbalance as a root cause to symptoms of chronic conditions; therefore, a key area of focus for many naturopaths is indeed on the restoration of hormonal balance within the body. Unlike medical doctors (MDs) who practice endocrinology, who may prescribe pharmaceuticals and other medications, naturopaths generally utilize alternative approaches to address hormonal imbalance, such as through lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise changes, or other alternative modalities like acupuncture or herbal medicine.
