Dr. Erika Horowitz

One of the fundamental principles in naturopathic medicine is “First do no harm”; accordingly, I understand that a key concept in healing is to identify the cause of disease rather than simply treat or suppress the symptoms. I believe strongly in the connection between mind, body and spirit. The human body has an inherent vital ability to heal itself with the support of appropriate noninvasive therapies. This approach requires treating the whole person, not just the disease.

Embracing the naturopathic principle of ‘doctor as teacher’, my patient care emphasizes education and empowerment in one's own healing process. The more we understand our own bodies and the mechanisms that cause illness, the more committed we become to optimizing wellness. I am dedicated to educating you about your body, how it functions and its capacity to heal itself. It is my goal to build a collaborative healing relationship with each individual in an effort to maximize personal health.

Underlying causes of illness can be determined by conducting a comprehensive interview to gather past, present and family medical histories. I pay special attention to the effects that diet, digestion, stress, sleep, lifestyle, and exercise have on a patients health. Using the appropriate diagnostic exams and laboratory tests, I can evaluate digestive function, nutritional status, detoxification processes, immune and cardiovascular health, and hormone and endocrine balance.
