What is a Naturopathic Doctor?

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are primary care providers who focus on holistic health. They train to diagnose & treat patients by addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. NDs utilize a combination of natural therapies and conventional medical practices. NDs employ various treatment methods, including individualized nutrition, functional blood work, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, hydrotherapy & homeopathy. NDs spend more time with patients educating about lifestyle changes & disease prevention.

NDs successfully complete a four-year graduate-level program at an accredited naturopathic medical school, followed by passing the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Exam (NPLEX 1 & 2). Additional residency training may take 1-3 years, but it varies by state.

The term “naturopath” is entirely unregulated & may be used by anyone promoting natural therapies with or without medical training.

A Naturopathic Physician is a Naturopathic Doctor who holds an active license to practice medicine in one of the 26 licensed states, of which Florida is not yet one 😢

A Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) is a Naturopathic Physician practicing in Arizona. NMD is a unique identifier for NDs used in Arizona only.

Depending on WHAT STATE an ND is in, their scope of practice will VARY GREATLY. States like CA and WA allow NDs to operate as full primary care physicians. In these states, NDs work in private clinics, integrative medical centers, and even hospitals. They collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive patient care. Other states have a more narrow scope of practice & do not include prescriptive rights. In Florida, NDs are not able to practice AT ALL because the law was sunsetted in 1959. This is why we are both very active with .naturopathic.association to help change the laws in Florida! Dr. Teegan & I are only able to practice here under our other active licenses of Chiropractic Physician (DC) & Acupuncture Physician (AP) respectively, which do not allow us any prescriptive rights.

If you want more NDs like us to be in FL, please educate on this important issue & support the FNPA (Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association)!

Our newest partnerships 🤝

Choosing the supplement companies that we prescribe to patients is not something we take lightly. There are WAY too many options on the market and with no regulatory agency overseeing the supplement industry, it’s even more important that we research the practices and sourcing of our supplements.

Birthright is a company bringing ancestral foods into capsular form to nourish modern women. These foods help to balance hormonal health and strengthen fertility. Birthright is unique because the nutritional support is coming directly from nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed liver, fish eggs and colostrum not vitamins extracted from cheapest sources like potato, corn and soy. Their prenatal is the first one I’ve personally ever been able to take without any indigestion. I’m seeing many other patients experience the same! The bioavailability of nutrients from actual food sources is also higher making it more effective. Their other formulation, Revive, is a powerful combination of grass-fed liver and kidney combined with liver supportive herbals like milk thistle and dandelion. This formulation is ideal for women who have been on birth control or are struggling with other hormonal complaints like PCOS, PMS, endometriosis and even miscarriages.

Green Pastures is an amazing company providing cod liver oil sourced from wild-caught fish! Cod liver oil is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids and also provides dietary values of fat-soluble Vitamins A & D. Most fish oils are highly refined. The oils are extracted, measured, purified and repackaged to give you the full breakdown on the supplement label. Cod liver oil is food the way nature intended it. The cod livers are prepared through fermentation, an ancient practice to make the fat-soluble vitamins more readily absorbable! Cod liver oil is a needed nutritional pillar for all ages as the American diet is not high in omega 3s, or Vitamins A and D.

Just this week alone, we have heard from 4 patients who have experienced vast improvement in their digestive and overall health by finally understanding the diet their body does best with.

“I’m not experiencing abdominal pain or cramping at all anymore. My bowel movements are regular and I’m no longer having diarrhea.”

“My severe heartburn is completely gone. I’ve lost 20 pounds in the past 2.5 months since making these changes.”

“My bloating is completely gone since changing my diet. Do I even need this supplement for bloating anymore?”

“For the first time in so many years, thanks be to God and to Dr. Sarah, I am finally in control of my digestive health!”

The clinical results speak for themselves 😄👏🏼

Let’s clear up your confusion about diet once and for all so you can stop chasing fads and feel the difference for yourself.

If you’ve had your Carroll Food Intolerance assessment run and modified your diet based on your results, share your experience below to encourage others 🤍

“In range” labs are not always a good indicator because the ranges are too broad. TSH should ideally be between 1-2 for optimal thyroid function affecting fertility, energy, weight management and bowel movements. TSH on most labs is considered “in range” between 0.4-4.5 🫥

Vast majority of multivitamins are sourced from cheapest ingredients like potato, corn and soy and have the poorest absorbed forms of vitamins like cyanocobalamin 👎🏼 instead of methylcobalamin 👍🏼 They also commonly contain inflammatory additives like soybean oil and cane sugar.

A functioning immune system will experience acute illness. It is always a red flag when someone tells me they are never sick. This means their immune system is underperforming. Years of this is how cancer develops in the body because aberrant growth goes unchecked by a healthy immune system.

Working out daily CAN be healthy depending on the individual. Most patients I work with have a chronic diagnosis and are exhausted with just activities of daily living. Movement is always important in our daily lives. But the intensity of this activity level needs to be appropriate for age, stage, vitality level of the person to best benefit. Often times doing less is more when actively healing!

Losing weight at any cost is always dangerous. Are you losing muscle? Is your body poorly absorbing dietary fats leading to further hormonal imbalance? We must support a healthy metabolism by strengthening the body, not starving it.

Let’s focus on healthy energy, daily elimination, quick recoveries, strong appetites, moving bodies and normal menstrual cycles (if applicable 😜)!
