Did you know naturopathic medicine has been practiced in the U.S. for over 125 years?
Long before functional medicine became a buzzword, NDs were quietly helping people heal chronic illness, restore hormone balance, and detox their bodies—without prescriptions or fanfare. While emergency rooms save lives in crisis (and thank goodness they do!), naturopathic doctors save lives in the long game—by helping people not get to the ER in the first place.
We’ve been trained in nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, and root-cause diagnostics since the days of Dr. Benedict Lust, who opened the first naturopathic school in 1902. Though the tools have evolved, the philosophy remains the same: support the body’s innate ability to heal.
This week, we celebrate the quiet lifesavers—the NDs helping patients reverse chronic illness, rebuild from burnout, and reclaim their health naturally.
✨ Here's to over a century of healing—and many more to come. Celebrate Naturopathic Medicine Week!
