Supporting and advancing the practice of naturopathic medicine in Illinois 🌱

05/10/2025

Personalized medicine may be the future of health care, but for NDs, it’s always been the foundation. While conventional medicine is just starting to embrace whole-person care, naturopathic medicine has prioritized it from the start.
Seeing an ND means experiencing care that looks at every part of you: physical symptoms, emotional well-being, environment, genetics, and personal health goals.
True personalized care isn’t a trend; it’s a time-tested path to lasting wellness.

Caring for the whole you means going beyond surface-level symptoms. Naturopathic doctors are trained to identify and address the underlying causes of illness—whether they stem from lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, genetic predispositions, or unknown factors.
Guided by the principle of “treat the cause,” NDs work closely with patients to remove obstacles to healing and restore the body’s natural balance.⚖️ This comprehensive approach not only supports real, lasting recovery but also empowers people to take an active role in their health.
When you understand the root cause of your health challenges, you gain the insight and confidence to overcome them.✨

The six core principles of naturopathic medicine guide NDs in diagnosing, treating, and caring for patients.🌱 From clinical decision-making to treatment plans, they influence every aspect of practice.
The goal? Personalized care that supports optimal wellness over the long term. Because good health is more than just the absence of disease.🌻

Happy Naturopathic Medicine Week!!
Naturopathic doctors (NDs) follow a rigorous education path similar to MDs and DOs (osteopathic doctors). They begin with a science-based bachelor’s degree and pre-med coursework.🧠 Then they attend a 4-year accredited naturopathic medical school, completing over 4,100 hours of training.
Along with a standard medical curriculum, NDs receive specialized training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, physical medicine, and counseling. Hands-on clinical experience prepares them to diagnose and treat patients as primary care providers.
After graduation, NDs must pass the NPLEX licensing exams.📚 Currently, 26 jurisdictions (23 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)offer licensure or certification for NDs.
Residency opportunities are expanding, with many NDs completing one to two-year primary care or specialty programs. NDs have a pivotal role in advancing integrative health care, working alongside all types of practitioners.
