Welcome, Dr. Andrea Hillstad!
Originally from Moorhead, MN, Dr. Andrea Hillstad’s journey into Naturopathic Medicine is as unique as it is inspiring. With 12 years of experience, Dr. Andrea Hillstad brings a wealth of expertise in autoimmune disease treatment, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, detoxification and energy medicine.
Driven by her own health challenges during college, Dr. Andrea sought out alternatives to conventional medicine, leading her to study Naturopathic Medicine at Sonoran University of Health Sciences in Arizona. This path not only resonated with her personally but sparked a passion for helping others navigate their own health journeys. One of her most cherished memories is of a patient who, after just a couple of months of treatment for PCOS and fertility issues, returned with the joyous news of her pregnancy—a testament to the life-changing impact of Dr. Andrea’s work.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Andrea is a blend of creativity and curiosity. She’s an avid knitter, a collector of crystals, and a former instrumental music major with a passion for teaching the arts to children. Her love for music even took her across Europe, where she performed with the MSUM wind ensemble and woodwind quintet, playing flute and piccolo.
At the end of a busy day, you’ll find Andrea at home with her two dogs, unwinding with snuggles and a hot bath. And when she’s not busy helping others, she’s dreaming of buying an old house to restore, inspired by Nicole Curtis of Rehab Addict fame.
A true lifelong learner, Dr. Andrea is currently delving into sacred geometry, further enriching her approach to problem-solving, which she combines with thorough research and intuitive insight. She lives by the advice, “Know what you don’t know and then go learn it,” a philosophy that continues to guide her in both her professional and personal life.
