Welcome to Naturopathic Medicine Week! As a seasoned practitioner with over 15 years of experience and a doctorate from Bastyr University, I'm excited to share the profound benefits of naturopathic medicine, especially tailored for busy professionals like you.
The Benefits of Naturopathic Medicine
Personalized care that considers your whole story.
Imagine working with a clinician that takes the time to hear you, seeks to understand your personal barriers and challenges that keep you from making healthy changes, and guides you through a process to overcome those obstacles in order to achiever your wellness goals.
A Non-Pharmaceutical Approach
We are NOT anti-pharmacy. In fact, medically trained naturopathic doctors can prescribe medications and hold a DEA number. I use "The Ladder of Intervention" as an example. The first rung of the ladder represents the foundations to wellness: nutrition, relationships, gratitude, movement, rest and recovery, etc. These are essential to having a healthy body, mind, and spirit. As you climb the ladder, the next rung is energetic medicine such as homeopathy, red light therapy, sound therapy, and things like that. Next are vitamins, minerals, and herbs followed by hormone replacement therapy. Next we can cross the skin in licensed states which means vitamin injections and IV therapy. Finally we get to pharmaceuticals and lastly, sugery.
*Unfortunately, despite over 20 years of efforts, Naturopathic Doctors remain unlicensed in North Carolina.
You see, the standard medical model is in the business of selling pharmacauticals. Also, culturally, people want quick fixes and are not interested in changing their diets or exercising. For these individuals, pharmaceuticals keep them alive.... just not well.
If you value wellness, then you must take a multi-pronged approach, not just relying on prescription medications.
Prevent. Educate. Respect.
The most imporant thing a Naturopathic Doctor can do is educate the practice member on how to take care of themselves. What makes being a member at Summit Vitaliy so valuable, is that you will go through a learning experience that guides people through a step-by-step process to unravel their stressful lives because the hyperbusy lifestyle is not serving anyone. In fact, its a major cause for the ailments we see in the primary care setting:
Anxiety
Insomnia
High Blood Pressure
Tension headaches and TMJ
Digestive Issues
Hormonal Imbalances
etc...
Stress can be seen as one of the root causes to all these complaints, which is why Dr. Lexi Lain has created an educational journey to change the relationship with stress and help the busy professional thrive in chaos.
