The most important takeaway is that fatigue is a SYMPTOM and NOT a diagnosis (even though it has a diagnostic code). Work with a provider who is helping to identify and correct the root causes of WHY you are tired.

This is not even close to an exhaustive list (pun intended 😉). Would love to hear you share your thoughts below and what you would add to this list!

Please make note of when we will be open this holiday season!

Merry Christmas 🎄
Happy New Year 🌟

Both are important.
We encourage patients to have a full diagnostic work up! Majority of time they have this before walking through our door. But we cannot stop there. We must take a full history, analyze lab values in the context of symptoms and assess the individual. We must seek to answer why the symptoms are happening so we can restore a state of health.

Yesterday we celebrated 7 YEARS since we opened North Florida Naturopathic🌿

When we met and married during our medical training, we knew we wanted to open a practice together one day. So many people shared negative opinions like “it’ll never work” “great way to ruin your marriage” “it’s always a mistake to work with your spouse.”
I’m so glad we didn’t listen.

When we felt called to move to Florida and work in a state that is currently hostile to Naturopathic Doctors, many said “don’t move there” “you can’t practice there.” And it sure has not been without some VERY real challenges, but I’m so glad we didn’t listen.

When we decided to open a self-pay practice offering individualized holistic healthcare, we heard many opinions like “you’ll never make it” “no one will pay out of pocket for additional care.”
Again, I’m so glad we didn’t listen.

We individually had a calling to help change healthcare. And once we met each other, we knew we wanted to do that together in Florida and without the restraints of what insurance deems as “billable services.”

So THANK YOU TALLAHASSEE for helping us prove them wrong! We are so grateful to celebrate 7 years and are excited for the growth to come 🤩

And a huge thank you to our family and friends who have supported us from the beginning and continue to 🤍

The photo on the right is a throwback photo of us from October 2017 when we were working with dōTERRA and were celebrating a new achievement in our business. I am forever grateful for how dōTERRA helped us pay our bills while in medical school and for everything it taught us about running our own business and working together as a team ✨

What is a Naturopathic Doctor?

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are primary care providers who focus on holistic health. They train to diagnose & treat patients by addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. NDs utilize a combination of natural therapies and conventional medical practices. NDs employ various treatment methods, including individualized nutrition, functional blood work, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, hydrotherapy & homeopathy. NDs spend more time with patients educating about lifestyle changes & disease prevention.

NDs successfully complete a four-year graduate-level program at an accredited naturopathic medical school, followed by passing the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Exam (NPLEX 1 & 2). Additional residency training may take 1-3 years, but it varies by state.

The term “naturopath” is entirely unregulated & may be used by anyone promoting natural therapies with or without medical training.

A Naturopathic Physician is a Naturopathic Doctor who holds an active license to practice medicine in one of the 26 licensed states, of which Florida is not yet one 😢

A Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) is a Naturopathic Physician practicing in Arizona. NMD is a unique identifier for NDs used in Arizona only.

Depending on WHAT STATE an ND is in, their scope of practice will VARY GREATLY. States like CA and WA allow NDs to operate as full primary care physicians. In these states, NDs work in private clinics, integrative medical centers, and even hospitals. They collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive patient care. Other states have a more narrow scope of practice & do not include prescriptive rights. In Florida, NDs are not able to practice AT ALL because the law was sunsetted in 1959. This is why we are both very active with .naturopathic.association to help change the laws in Florida! Dr. Teegan & I are only able to practice here under our other active licenses of Chiropractic Physician (DC) & Acupuncture Physician (AP) respectively, which do not allow us any prescriptive rights.

If you want more NDs like us to be in FL, please educate on this important issue & support the FNPA (Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association)!

Our newest partnerships 🤝

Choosing the supplement companies that we prescribe to patients is not something we take lightly. There are WAY too many options on the market and with no regulatory agency overseeing the supplement industry, it’s even more important that we research the practices and sourcing of our supplements.

Birthright is a company bringing ancestral foods into capsular form to nourish modern women. These foods help to balance hormonal health and strengthen fertility. Birthright is unique because the nutritional support is coming directly from nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed liver, fish eggs and colostrum not vitamins extracted from cheapest sources like potato, corn and soy. Their prenatal is the first one I’ve personally ever been able to take without any indigestion. I’m seeing many other patients experience the same! The bioavailability of nutrients from actual food sources is also higher making it more effective. Their other formulation, Revive, is a powerful combination of grass-fed liver and kidney combined with liver supportive herbals like milk thistle and dandelion. This formulation is ideal for women who have been on birth control or are struggling with other hormonal complaints like PCOS, PMS, endometriosis and even miscarriages.

Green Pastures is an amazing company providing cod liver oil sourced from wild-caught fish! Cod liver oil is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids and also provides dietary values of fat-soluble Vitamins A & D. Most fish oils are highly refined. The oils are extracted, measured, purified and repackaged to give you the full breakdown on the supplement label. Cod liver oil is food the way nature intended it. The cod livers are prepared through fermentation, an ancient practice to make the fat-soluble vitamins more readily absorbable! Cod liver oil is a needed nutritional pillar for all ages as the American diet is not high in omega 3s, or Vitamins A and D.
