🚧 Wet Paint! Crews have been busy today restriping the lines on Bancroft right outside Natura. It looks amazing!

🛣 We are all traveling along a figurative road on our personal health journey. When was the last time you got the lines on your path "re-striped" to help you know where you are going?

🚗 When it comes to your plan of health, the doctors at Natura are excellent at helping with re-striping, resurfacing, or sometimes tearing it all up and starting over again. Let them help you on your journey, as simple or complex as it feels. Give us a call at 406-317-1965 to arrange time to "re-stripe" your health journey. ☎️

Good advice and folks there to help.

Today and every day, there's room for everyone to plug into the local climate movement! Older adults face heightened health risks from rising temperatures and poor air quality--and older adults are bringing their knowledge, skills, and experience to volunteer roles helping to mitigate climate impacts. Climate Smart Missoula loves helping connect people to climate solutions. Tomorrow, on World Environment Day, you can volunteer to plant trees at their Northside Tree Planting, Thu., Jun 5, 10am to 2pm; meet at the corner of Scott and Pullman Street.

In addition to planting Trees for Missoula, Climate Smart Missoula can help you prepare for wildfire smoke and extreme temperatures, including distributing HEPA filters to those in need. As a part of their efforts to help lower Missoula's emissions, Climate Smart Missoula educates and helps with home and structure upgrades, including electrification. You can learn about induction cooking in a free class at Missoula Public Library on Tues., June 10 at 6pm. For more info on the class, CSM, and local climate solutions visit MissoulaClimate.org. Pictured are Climate Smart Missoula volunteers Sarah Coefield, Amy Cilimburg, and Kerri Mueller.

Emotional well-being. Fall prevention. Chair yoga has a lot to offer people of all ages. As older adults have become more active, chair yoga has grown in popularity.

Choosing a healthcare provider deserves the same care and attention as any big medical decision.
Think about what you want in a doctor—someone who listens, collaborates, and tailors a plan to fit your needs. A true partner in your well-being.

Remember this important distinction: A naturopathic doctor (ND) completes a four-year medical program, clinical training, and must pass the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX), the exam required to qualify for naturopathic doctor licensure.📚 “Naturopaths” may have a certificate-based education with a more limited scope and less training.

All of the doctors at Natura - Dr. White, Dr. Coffey, Dr. Featherman, and Dr. Smith - have completed this training and are licensed in Montana to practice naturopathic medicine. (Did you know? Dr. Smith and Dr. White are also licensed in Idaho and can see Idaho-based patients via telemedicine).

For complex health concerns, credentials matter. Choose wisely. Your wellness depends on it!

We offer free 15-minute consultations here at Natura with our amazing doctors to see if its a good fit. Give us a call! We're excited to connect with you!

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 goal? Personalized care that supports optimal wellness over the long term. Because good health is more than just the absence of disease.🌻
