Thyroid Naturopaths in Lake Oswego, OR

Part of the joy I receive from being a physician is meeting people where they are in their health-care journey. Working with you as an individual with a unique history, getting to know your story and what your goals are for yourself is incredibly important. This is treating the whole person. You are not your symptoms or your diagnosis. I view our work together as a partnership: whether you need a cheerleader, someone to hold you accountable or hold space for you to process, I trust the inherent wisdom of your body and your lived experience.

If you are actively seeking to improve your health, prefer a holistic integrated approach, want to explore alternative treatment options and need a place where you can feel both comfortable and confident we would love to work with you! We treat a wide variety of conditions and find the most important factor in our success is your commitment and ours!

Health care is complex and frustrating to navigate for many patients, to have an active role requires an awareness and understanding of the given diagnosis and treatment options available. Patients seek naturopathic care for its holistic approach, which includes mental health, botanical medicine and pharmaceutical treatment options. Drawing from the best of both worlds. Dr. Juarez seeks to engage patients in their health care options and treatment. Weight loss, depression, anxiety, hypertension and diabetes are only a few of the conditions that lend themselves well to naturopathic care, with pharmaceutical options always available.

Naturopathic medicine aims to address the underlying cause(s) of disease and support the body in order to restore health and function. I view my role as a physician as more of an educator and counselor. I explain how the body functions under normal circumstances, the ways in which it is affected by disease, and how to restore balance. In my practice I am constantly asking, "Why?" I am not only interested in knowing WHAT is going on with my patients (i.e. achieving a correct diagnosis) but also WHY their symptoms are present in the first place.

I love to work with adults with chronic health concerns, especially: Chronic pain, Cancer, Mental / Emotional Health, Weight Issues, Fatigue, and Stress.

I do everything I can to help reduce the side effects and interactions of any drugs you may be taking, and optimize the healthy habits that will create the foundation for your new life. Using Nature's tools, I partner with you to create a treatment plan that you will love, and that will get you on the path to feeling better as soon as possible.
