NATUROPATHY in Wenatchee

Naturopathy in Wenatchee WA

Naturopathy—also called naturopathic medicine—is a medical system that has evolved from a combination of traditional practices and health care approaches popular in Europe during the 19th century.

Naturopathic Medicine in Wenatchee specializes in preventative health and the treatment and management of chronic diseases, focused on treating the cause rather than its symptoms. We have a wide array of other modalities that are less invasive and safer. There is a time and place for pharmaceuticals, and in an era of over-prescribing and over-medicating, we prefer to save them only for times when they are warranted and necessary.

Our goal for every patient is to provide tools and support so we can get them off any medication or supplement in the future. To facilitate this, we provide individualized and holistic care in the most effective and cost-efficient way possible.

Weight loss is not a simple process, and it involves more than just a calories-in, calories-out approach. We understand If you have ever struggled with weight loss or had frustrations maintaining weight.  The key to weight loss includes a variety of factors, and treatment can range from correcting specific hormonal imbalances to reestablishing a healthy gut biome. Maintaining adequate nutrition, hydration, sleep, and stress management, is important as well. We can help you to achieve your weight loss goal in Wenatchee.

The vast majority of doctors will affirm that Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease, but they are far from the truth. The reason why a lot of patients experience this progression is that most doctors do not focus on treating the CAUSE of the disease, which is insulin resistance, but they only treat the blood sugar, which is a SYMPTOM of the disease.

​As part of our holistic approach here in Wenatchee we want to help you to decrease/discontinue your medications and reverse your diabetes by treating the CAUSE of the disease. Using the most updated research and evidence-based medicine.

An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakes part of your body, like your joints or skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells causing inflammation.

Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), affect the whole body.

Common treatment plans focus on decreasing the symptoms of the disease, but rarely address the question of why the disease began in the first place. If we want to treat and reverse the disease, we must treat the cause. 

​Experts in mucosal biology now believe that intestinal permeability, besides of genetic and environmental factors, is a precondition to developing autoimmunity. This means that the cause of the autoimmune disease is likely not be treated if you are not treating the gut. Without treating the cause, the disease will continue to be chronic and progressive in nature.

While there are no known cures for Alzheimer’s, naturopathic medicine offers highly individualized, whole-person prevention strategies. There are 3 different subtypes of Alzheimer's, and by differentiating between them, we have a way to address and treat the cause of the disease.

Genetic testing is also available to determine if you are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's in the future. If you are a carrier of the ApoE4 gene, you may have a 30-50% chance of developing Alzheimer's in your 50's.

​Due to Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment, timing is important. The sooner you start treatment, the better the result will be.

Biofeedback is a tool that we use to measure how our body is physiologically responding to stress. Chronic stress leads to a huge diversity of stress-related conditions, which includes insomnia, headaches, hypertension, IBS, anxiety, and many more.

Biofeedback allows us to capture how our stress response changes before and after therapeutic breathing exercises. Intentional breathing, in the form of meditation, mindfulness, autogenic, or guided imagery training, has a profound effect on our stress response. Research has shown that a daily home practice of 20 minutes, twice a day, can rewire the nervous system to switch from a stressed state to a calm state. This, in return, treats and manages any stress-related condition you may be experiencing.
