🌟 Important Practice Updates from Northern Lights Medicine 🌟

To our valued patients and community,

We want to share some exciting and important updates about how Northern Lights Medicine is evolving to serve you better—and to reach even more people on their healing journeys.

Dr. Otten remains deeply committed to optimizing the health of every patient as well as providing personalized care for chronic illnesses like Lyme, autoimmune conditions, MCAS, and digestive issues. But to reduce overhead without raising costs, and to make space for larger-impact projects (like group programs and online education), we’re adjusting a few parts of our practice model:

🔬 Lab Services:
We will no longer offer in-office blood draws. Instead, we’ll refer patients to trusted partners including Quest Diagnostics, Rupa Health’s national network, and local draw sites—including some with in-home options.

💊 Supplements:
Our in-office dispensary is closing. But don’t worry—you can now order everything through the “Shop” tab at www.northernlightsmedicine.com:
✔️ Northern Lights Medicine products
✔️ MakeWell supplements
✔️ Fullscript practitioner-grade options

🏥 Appointment Format:
Since nearly 80% of our patients prefer telemedicine appointments for most of their care, we’ll now offer in-office visits just one day a week—freeing up time while still offering in-person care as needed.

📍 Multi-State Care:
We’re expanding! Dr. Otten is adapting the care model to serve patients across multiple states via secure telehealth platforms. More access, same depth of care.

💆‍♀️ Massage + Adjunctive Therapies:
We’re thrilled that Danielle Otten, BCTMB, continues to offer therapeutic massage services at the clinic—supporting lymphatic flow, detox, and nervous system regulation. We're also introducing adjunctive therapies like PEMF, photobiomodulation, and energy medicine education to support deeper healing.

These changes will help us sustain what matters most: root-cause care, compassionate support, and affordable access to healing.

Thank you for being part of our community. We’re honored to walk with you on this path.

With gratitude,
Dr. Jonathan Otten, ND

A big thank you to Lisa Najarian for the kind shout-out to me and Northern Lights Medicine during her interview on CBS News this weekend. We’re honored to have partnered with Twin Cities Lyme Foundation over the years.

Lisa’s kindness and unwavering determination to support the Lyme community is infectious…oops, let’s say inspiring instead. 😉

Lisa’s ongoing advocacy through the Twin Cities Lyme Foundation, and now in partnership with the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, is a powerful force for change. Her message is clear: finding a Lyme-literate provider—or seeking out an ILADS-trained clinician—can make all the difference in getting a proper diagnosis and effective care.

A woman with Lyme disease went misdiagnosed for over a decade.

Feeling deeply grateful today as we honor the incredible work of Lisa & Pete Najarian and the Twin Cities Lyme Foundation. After years of powerful collaboration with Northern Lights Medicine, they are now passing the torch to the Bay Area Lyme Foundation. https://www.bayarealyme.org/

Lisa and Pete are two of the most generous, compassionate, and driven people I’ve had the privilege to work with. Their unwavering commitment to supporting those suffering with Lyme disease has made a lasting impact in our community—and beyond.

Thank you both for your partnership, your advocacy, and for the kind shoutout to me and Northern Lights Medicine on WCCO Radio this past weekend! You’ve left big shoes to fill and an inspiring legacy that will live on in the lives you’ve touched.

Your daily choices matter more than you may think.

If you think eating real food, moving your body, and prioritizing restorative sleep is hard—just consider how hard chronic pain and disease can be.

Small, consistent efforts today can help prevent major health challenges down the road.

True Healing Comes from Addressing the Root Cause, Not Masking Symptoms

03/20/2025

I often see patients who were thankfully treated promptly for Lyme disease, however ticks are like dirty needles and can hold numerous other pathogens. We often call the tick-borne infections that can come with Lyme disease “co-infections”. To fully recover every patient, these infections need to be adequately treated. -Dr. Otten

Ticks carry more than just Lyme.

In fact, there are 20+ tick-borne diseases. Some examples of co-infections include Babesia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Bartonella. In endemic areas, the frequency of these tick-borne co-infections ranges from 4-45%, and this percentage is likely even larger.

Understanding how to treat these co-infections alongside Lyme is essential for patient treatment. To properly care for patients with Lyme, clinicians need to recognize the role of co-infections in a patient’s health, too.

To learn more about the impact of co-infections for effective Lyme treatment, visit our website.
