Kim Furtado, N.D. Naturopathic Medicine What are some of the Naturopathic Services Offered? Hydrotherapy: various water therapies to improve healing and circulation.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct healthcare profession that combines the wisdom of centuries of natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in health and medicine. Naturopathic doctors are clinically trained in a wide variety of natural therapeutics, such as:
Dietary advice and therapeutic nutrition: use of food as medicine, meal plans, & nutritional supplementation. Herbal Medicine: healing with botanical substances which stimulate function and wellness. Homeopathic medicine and flower essence therapy: the use of highly dilute quantities of naturally occurring plants, animals and minerals to gently stimulate the body's healing responses. Stress management, lifestyle counseling and personal hygiene: promotion of wellness including recommendations for exercise, sleep, stress reduction and balancing of work and social activities, mind-body spirit techniques and basic tools including but not limited to guided imagery, visualization, relaxation response, and breathing exercises. Detoxification and heavy metals chelation therapy: targeted use of substances and herbs to remove environmental toxins associated with various chronic diseases and symptoms. Salivary Hormone Testing: specialized testing panels to assess hormonal imbalances, stress response, and chronic disease risks.

New year, new energy. ✨
If you’ve been feeling called to pause, reset, and really look at your health, this is your invitation.

I currently have booking availability for new clients and am offering Telehealth Initial Naturopathic Consultations. This first session is a comprehensive, whole-person look at your health, your symptoms, history, lifestyle, and goals, so we can create a thoughtful, personalized plan that truly supports where you are right now.

This option is ideal if you’re looking for guidance every few months or support on an as-needed basis. We’ll work together through my secure patient portal, making care accessible and intentional from wherever you are.

✨ For my current clients: this is a beautiful time to schedule your check-in or annual appointment so we can start the year feeling grounded, supported, and clear on next steps.

✨ And if you’re craving support beyond the appointment…
I also offer Full Circle Coaching, gentle, consistent guidance designed to help you stay connected to your goals between visits. Coaching provides accountability, encouragement, and practical tools to help turn insight into lasting change. You can choose one-on-one sessions or commit to a six-session package for deeper transformation.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once. It unfolds with clarity, support, and steady care.

Pelvic floor health is an essential form of self-care, and you don’t have to ignore the signs your body is giving you.

If you’re experiencing bladder leaks, urgency, or pelvic floor weakness, it’s time to take action. These symptoms are common, but they are not something you need to live with.

That’s why I recommend Elitone — a gentle, non-invasive, at-home pelvic floor therapy that strengthens muscles without internal devices or discomfort.

✨ If pelvic floor symptoms are affecting your confidence or daily comfort, now is the time to support your body.

👉 Click the link in bio or message my office to learn if Elitone is right for you.

You deserve to feel supported, confident, and in control.

ACTION ALERT: The future of naturopathic medicine is at risk.

A new Department of Education proposal would exclude the ND degree from the definition of a “professional degree”—cutting federal loan access in half for future students.

This means:
• Less access to federal financial aid
• More students forced into high-interest private loans
• Fewer future Naturopathic Doctors
• Reduced access to holistic, whole-person care nationwide

We cannot allow this to happen.

Follow my Link-In-Bio to send a pre-written letter to Congress—it takes under 2 minutes.

Your voice matters. The future of the naturopathic profession depends on the actions we take today.

Restoring and healing depression with sauna therapy 💕

Restoring and healing depression with sauna therapy 💕

Finland's sauna protocol eliminated depression in 85% of patients drug-free, while antidepressants generate billions

Finnish psychiatrists developed a specific sauna therapy protocol—temperature, duration, frequency combinations—that eliminates clinical depression in 85% of patients within 8 weeks without any medications. The treatment works through heat-induced neurochemical changes that restore normal brain function.

Depression involves dysregulated neurotransmitter systems and reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—a protein essential for neuron health and mood regulation. The Finnish sauna protocol uses sessions at precisely controlled temperatures (80-90°C) for specific durations (20-30 minutes) 4-5 times weekly. This heat exposure triggers dramatic increases in BDNF production, normalizes serotonin and dopamine function, reduces inflammatory markers linked to depression, and activates the same neural pathways that antidepressants target—but through natural heat stress rather than drugs. Patients report mood improvements within 2 weeks, with full remission by 8 weeks. It's like using heat to naturally reboot brain chemistry instead of chemical intervention.

Finland's public health system includes sauna therapy in depression treatment protocols at virtually no cost—saunas are ubiquitous in Finnish culture and medical facilities. The global antidepressant market generates $18 billion annually from drugs patients take daily for years with 40-50% failure rates and significant side effects. A free sauna protocol that eliminates depression in 8 weeks threatens this pharmaceutical market. American psychiatric guidelines don't even mention heat therapy despite Finnish data.

American depression patients cycle through expensive antidepressants that often don't work while enduring side effects. Finnish depression patients sit in saunas regularly and recover without drugs. The heat therapy works better than medication—it just doesn't generate pharmaceutical revenue.

Why take daily antidepressants with terrible side effects when saunas cure depression in 8 weeks?

I recently rebuilt my labyrinth, a sacred space where I ground, reflect, and reconnect. 🌿 As the seasons shift and the air turns crisp, I’m reminded of nature’s quiet cycles of renewal.

While working outside, I also collected milkweed seeds, small but mighty gifts that help sustain monarch butterflies on their long journey.

Change, like the seasons, always brings new life. 🍂
