Functional Medicine Naturopaths in Missouri
I received my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014 and completed a three year independent residency at Arizona Digestive Health where I practiced as a licensed naturopathic physician alongside MD gastroenterologists. I have managed thousands of patients suffering with IBS, IBD, GERD, Dyspepsia, Gas/Bloating, Celiac, Hepatitis, Fatty Liver and More! As of now, Missouri is not a licensed state for naturopathic doctors and thus I do not hold a Missouri license. I strongly recommend all potential clients have a primary care physician such as a MD or DO.

My passion is to help people get and stay healthy through natural protocols (and to avoid, if possible, the use of, and dependency on, drugs). I provide services in naturopathy (functional lab testing, herbal medicine, nutritional and cleansing protocols), homeopathy, and various energy healing modalities (e.g. Emotional Freedom Technique and BodyTalk). I help individuals uncover the root causes of illness or imbalance and then find their healing strength within, stimulating their own body's healing mechanisms.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments. Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
