It is the most essential question to finding out the key to your health. If your doctor doesn't ask "why," then why do you go to them?

We are happy to answer questions. Call 320 253-4112 to have a free 15-minute "talk to a doc" appointment.

Naturopathic doctors are all about root-cause medicine. 🩺

Don’t believe us? Here are some more facts:⁠
⁠
🍽️ The most recent data from the Association of American Medical Colleges says that MDs/DOs get an average of 19.6 total hours of nutrition education throughout their 4 years of medical school, however this ranges from 0-70 hours depending on the program.⁠
⁠
🥗 Licensed naturopathic doctors get from 100-220 hours of nutrition education. This includes not only clinical nutrition knowledge, but also drug-nutrient interactions. ⁠
⁠
🌺 There is no standard for MDs/DOs to learn botanical medicine or how to identify drug-herb interactions. While some medical schools may provide some context via elective courses, this is not required. This is especially important with increasing numbers of patients resorting to natural health products in conjunction with their conventional medical treatment.⁠
⁠
🌿 But what about functional medicine doctors? Functional medicine is not considered a standalone area of medicine. These are practitioners who obtain an additional online certification, while NDs have this education built into their curriculum with in-residence clinical supervision.⁠

I love local food producers who do it the right way and provide healthy, sustainable, and clean food to consume.

Did you know that food is the most critical decision you make daily that has a long-term effect on your health? Every bite you take affects how your genetics express. Every bite is a decision between health and unhealthiness.

Do you have a favorite local food source that you can share? I'll start with my current obsession: Tallow Moo lotion by https://www.triplehacres.com/ who are at the St Joseph and St Cloud farmers market. I love this silky and healing lotion.

What about you?

This commercial is so true and so revealing.

Who remembers this commercial. Who loves this? Who loves themselves? Who wants standard patriarchy messages to STOP!

It starts with us.

I want to be clear. For 20 years I have been telling anyone who would listen, the private insurance is breaking medicine.

And now, 20 years after I sounded the alarm, insurance has won so hard, that every doctor is finally paying attention. And now most doctors are saying what I’ve been saying for 20 years … finally.

And it’s too late.

The system can’t be reformed. It can’t be fixed. Buy it can be rebuilt with universal health insurance. It will expand services, reduce costs, and cover everyone. And it will
Bury private insurance who are useless and dangerous middle men.

I love this.

Anyone from a trauma background will default to over explaining because they learned as a child to try to make excuses in order to protect themselves.

You don’t need to as an adult (ok - some have to because they are still being traumatized) . You are safe here.

Wow. If you need a doctor who has empathy for you, call my clinic.

Stories like this are all too common and make me want to scream. What she is describing is a crime, IMO.

I almost forgot, I will still be seeing patients at New Hope Healing and Resource Center on Wednesday.

Best wishes on your healing journey.

Dr. Lee Aberle.

We are closed for our annual retreat from Wednesday, August 13th, and reopening on Tuesday, August 19th.

This annual event provides our doctors and staff with an opportunity to rest and recharge, so they return bright and ready to work with our patients on their healing journeys.

We highly encourage patients to take some time, in any way they can, to be gentle and allow their bodies time to recover.

This year, we are going up to the North Shore of Lake Superior to Grand Marais. And, of course, our clinic therapy dog, Simon, will be joining us to ensure we don't get into any trouble.

What do you do to recharge your batteries?

Dr. Lee Aberle
