Toledo Naturopathic, Dr. Maleigha Watts

Toledo Naturopathic, Dr. Maleigha Watts Investigating the root cause of chronic health concerns and sharing lessons learned along the way! Dr. Watts has been serving NW Ohio for the past decade.

Toledo Naturopathic offers a spectrum of care: for those that are seeking preventative care, to those with more complex health histories that require more advanced holistic care. Dr. Watts believes in investigating and addressing the root cause(s) to health concerns, in empowering patients to be engaged in their health and healing, and advocating for her patients by serving as a bridge between the holistic and traditional models of medicine. Dr. Watts completed undergraduate studies locally at the University of Toledo and then moved to Tempe, Arizona for 5 years to train at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (1 of 6 nationally accredited, 4 year naturopathic medical programs in the US). She completed an internship with Dr. MaryK Geyer in Phoenix, Arizona thereafter with an emphasis in primary care medicine. Although the state of Ohio does not license Naturopathic Physicians at this time, Dr. Watts continues to maintain a license in Arizona which requires active involvement in Continuing Medical Education hours (30+) each year.

Ever follow a recipe but also...not follow that recipe? 😅

I found this recipe on Instagram (link in comments) and it looked like a great meal prep for lunches. Something out of the ordinary, still nutrient dense, but not the usual all leafy salad.

This was basically a sheet pan meal, turned pasta salad. My modifications included: purple potatoes (in addition to regular sweet potatoes), adding roasted broccoli, subbing kale for the arugula, adding some bacon, brown/quinoa pasta, and making the dressing extra spicy with thai chili pepper powder. Oh, I also skipped the apple because I thought it would throw off the texture.

We luckily had a little leftover that we munched on this morning. Hubby said, "I'd definitely eat this again."

Well, good, cuz you're kinda eating it everyday for lunch this week. 😂

We have been fighting a bug-bite-turned-hot-spot on big brudder, Turk, for the past couple of months. Salves, ointments, sprays, you name it, and nothing was budging it.

Somehow, manuka and colloidal silver ointment totally was NOT in my brain, but one night of scrolling commentary on Reddit was like a light bulb moment.💡

A little digging and I came across this ointment online and some stylish puppy gauze rolls and ordered it up on Amazon, cuz I was an anxious dog-Mama who needed that ASAP. Here we are a couple of weeks later, after washing nightly, smothering the hot spot with this handy dandy ointment, and wrapping it up until next day.

It's not completely healed, but it is almost there. Eureka!

Mama is relieved.

I also think Turk is relieved that I won't be chasing him around the house anymore for our nightly doctor's appointment. 😅🤣

Wednesday night I shot over a message to a friend who is like--THE WOMAN in wound care--like working-behind-the-scenes-for-national-wound-care-healing-programs-kind-of-woman.

Super obviously...wound care is not even close to my wheelhouse. But it sure is hers.

By Thursday morning we were on the phone and this Queen took an hour of her time to teach wound healing physiology, standard of care in wound healing, management pearls, and troubleshooting in a case. I could tell on the phone how many times she gave this lecture (countless and experienced) and her voice exuded excitement, happiness, and passion for her line of work. Passion to share her knowledge, to pass it on, to see the world be a better place, even if it's one patient at a time. She went above and beyond and when I asked to compensate her, she said to take the knowledge, use it with patients, and to keep her updated on my patient's outcome.

😭

This is just a simple shoutout because I know she follows this page. Jennifer, a million Thank Yous. You are sensational at what you do and my patient and I are so grateful to you.

"We leave no wound unhealed", she had said. And girl, you are walking that talk. 🙌🙌🙌

Yesterday was our first day back to the office after our Fall Vacation. It felt so good to be back in the saddle, chatting with our patients, giving some hugs, sharing smiles, doing the work, seeing people improve their health, and seeing their pride in it. Sarah and I left the day, still with mile long lists of to-dos, but we left satisfied. I think we had so many calls yesterday that most of Sarah's day was fielding that; we still have several voicemails and e-mails from our time off to get back to. We're coming :-)

Last night when I got home from work, I gave a patient a buzz. They left a voicemail that was concerning enough that an urgent talk was needed. "Well, I would have called you sooner but...I know you have had your own surgery recovery and stuff going on, so I didn't want to bother you." 😭😭😭

Folks, this is the caliber of people that we see. The amount of care, concern, and empathy we have for our people, they return that to us in kind and at times too graciously so. I quickly clapped back, "Literally, this is my job, I am here to be 'bothered'. PLEASE 'BOTHER' ME!" We had a good chuckle.

And then we got to work.

This work and our patients are never a "bother". This work and our patients are a privilege every. single. day.

Have a beautiful day, my peeps. 🤗🤗🤗

Ready for a warm fuzzy moment? Wait for it...

First, some background: For the past 3 years that we have done the Application Process, the volume has unfortunately required us to turn away anywhere from 20-40% of the Applicants. In every one of those cases though, we provide a referral to a provider that will either be a better fit, help them sooner, or is perhaps closer located to them.

Okay, warm fuzzy moment in 3, 2, 1...

We just received an email from a recent applicant whom we referred to an ND colleague. They *must* be super motivated because they already contacted this Doctor and they are on his schedule for NEXT WEEK!

🥰😘🥰Chef's Kiss 🥰😘🥰

I can remember a time, Pre-Application Process, where we opened up for New Patients and Lily would have call after call, for days and days. Literally the phone would die halfway through the day. Lily's beautiful silver hair...was a little more silver on those days. 😅 She looked at me at one point and said, "We have to do something different", and thus we put our heads together with Angela Jiniel VA - Marketing & Design Virtual Assistant and the Application Process was born. God Bless Angie LaMunyon. 🙏

This was born out of a need to help the front desk but also out of a continued desire to still want to help people even if we don't ever directly meet.

I get these little nudges and winks from Lily from time to time; reassurance we are doing it right.

Back into the swing of things! Between some vacation time, the weather changing, and now the time change, it is safe to say my morning routine has been jumbled.

While I was recovering from surgery this summer, I started a morning routine that really resonated with me: protein shake, a little TV time, an hour of walking or running outdoors in the warmth, and then tackling work. Honestly, it has just been the best.

There is a little bit of mourning, then, with: darker, colder mornings, and the temptation then to stay in a warm bed, or grab a hot cup of coffee and sit down at my desk. Mourning the loss of that summer routine. Finding a new compromise.

Do you ever get it in your head that the way things are is how things will always be? It can go either way--that the good will always be good, or the bad will always be bad. When really, it is probably more realistic that there is going to be an ebb and flow to these seasons of life just like the season changes themselves.

Just a little encouragement today to be flexible. What is now, may not always be. What is routine may falter, but you can get back on track. Likewise, what might feel like a struggle will be temporary and will heal and get easier with time.

Don't be afraid to be a little bendy.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient. Seasons will be seasons, afterall.

Well folks, that's a wrap. What once took us 3 months to fill, and then 3 days, now took 31 hours. 😳😳😳

As of November 3, 2025 at 7pm we are no longer accepting New Patient Applications. All 120 spots for New Patients for 2026 have been filled and are spoken for.

This has my stomach in knots and feels very mixed.

I am grateful we have another year of work to do. I am grateful to see so many patients interested in meeting with Sarah to Onboard. I am grateful, that as a Naturopathic Doctor in a state that doesn't license our training, that I am still "seen" by so many of you.

I am gut-wrenched that we can't help more people, or at least the window of opportunity wasn't so narrow to 31 measly hours. I am so terribly sad at the state of our collective health, reading so many desperate pleas for help from potential patients who are spinning their wheels.

If you didn't snag a spot this time around, please don't forget about our Referral Network--there are certainly other providers locally and state-wide that we know/love/trust that could still help you with your goals. https://toledonaturopathic.com/referral-network/

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your healthcare journey. Thank you to SO many of you that referred your family and friends our way. I cannot wait to meet all of our Newbies in 2026.

Until next year, peeps...

This was Ottie last night, 7 hours into reading New Patient Applications. I am not sure who was more tired. 😆😆😆

I'm less than halfway through the Applications thus far and one thing is certain: Most of you have been sent to us by family and friends, whom we are already caring for.

Thank you so much for your trust with your loved ones. That means the world to me. 🥰

Also, PS: We still have the Application Process open (today is Day #2). By looking at the numbers received so far, though, I wouldn't be surprised if we have to close everything by tonight. I still see about 20+ applications that are only partially done. Please do submit those soon. Once we are closed, we will not take any late submissions.

We just got back from a wonderful week Up North. The weather was perfect and the vibe was chill. Just what we needed.

We just got back into town a bit ago and I am sitting down for a snack and headed into reviewing our New Patient Applications.

We have already heard from 155 people in the 3.5 hours Applications have been open. 😭😭 I am grateful and also...a little 'whelmed.

My guess is that we will be shutting down the application process for 2026 in the next day or so. We won't offer this again until 2027.

To those we approve, I am so excited to help. For those I won't be seeing, I'm so sorry. I promise to choose a good referral for you.

I wish so terribly we could help more people, but the truth is even with more hands on deck, it would never be enough.

Sunday is THE day!

We are opening our New Patient Application Process for 2026, tomorrow (Sunday November 2) at NOON! Yahoo!

Remember we are only taking in about 120 Newbies for 2026 and once we have filled those we will shut the process down until 2027. The first year we opened applications it took us 3 months to fill---last year it took less than 72 hours.

Meaning: We anticipate this will fill QUICKLY.

I have attached screenshots so you get a preview of what the process will look like (it is NOT live yet!)

Tomorrow at Noon: Head to our website (https://toledonaturopathic.com) and click the Get Started Tab. The rest is explained in the screenshots outlined below.

Please feel free to Save this post or Share it! Thanks a bunch.

We are looking forward to meeting you! :-)
