I am so excited and honored to be presenting at the upcoming annual conference this weekend!! I have been an attendee of this conference for almost a decade, starting back when I was a student , so this is a huge step in my naturopathic career. This work, developed by my dear friend and mentor Ian Rubin, is deeply meaningful to me and my patients and I can’t wait to share it with my colleagues. 🙏🏼

It is with my utmost pride and joy that I announce my Fellowship of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO). This signifies that I have completed a 2-year oncology-focused naturopathic residency, had a panel of peers review and approve my approach to oncologic patient care, and passed an exam that sets the standard to practice naturopathic oncology. I am now 1 of only 3 FABNOs practicing in the state of Colorado and 1 of approximately 115 in North America (USA & Canada). I feel so excited and privileged to share this milestone in my professional career with the world!

Vitalism v. Mechanism

There are two main theories in medicinal approach that have been debated as long as recorded medicine, Vitalism & Mechanism. In the first four books of the Hippocratic Corpus (420-400 BC), these two philosophies are detailed in their application and practice at that time.

The Vitalistic approach is referred to as the Empiricist school, it postulates a “vital force” which permeates the human being in all its dimensions and expresses symptoms as a means or motive to restore balance in body, mind, & spirit.

The Mechanistic approach is referred to as the Rationalist school, operating on the notion that disease is the cause of symptoms and therefore should be suppressed to prevent progression.

Naturopathy, since its inception in 1901, has been a combination of hundreds, if not thousands, of therapeutic modalities drawn from over two millennia of experience and practice in the art of medicine. As such, the philosophies that inform various Naturopathic practitioners, being drawn from such an immense span of time, are equally as diverse as their clinical approach.

Click the link in our bio to read this full blog that aims to help one distinguish between the types of practitioners that call themselves Naturopathic doctors & physicians, based on their philosophical world view and the corresponding perspective they bring to practice.

Heading to Portland to see patients in-person this week! My practice is about 95% virtual these days, but I still love to see people in person as much as possible. In my opinion, telemedicine has really expanded the access patients have the their doctor. A lot of my patients love the fact that they don’t have to travel to an appointment in order to see me! It also allows me to see people outside of areas I am physically located.
That being said, I still love seeing people in-person. There is definitely an aspect of the magic that gets lost through a screen. Im excited to see some of my amazing patients this week! (And my friends too! PS if I missed seeing any of my Portland friends this trip I will see you on the next one! It’s hard to fit it all in)

Skinrin-Yoku - Forest Bathing

“In every walk in with nature one receives far more than he seeks” - John Muir

Shinrin-Yoku is a therapy developed in Japan in the 80’s . It is the practice of reconnecting with, walking in, and breathing in nature. I’m sure that you’ve heard that getting out into nature is good for you, and here’s why: There are many, many reasons including lowering blood pressure and stress hormone levels, reducing nervous system arousal, enhanced immune system function, increased self-esteem, reduced anxiety, and improved mood. The research on this topic is continuing to grow everyday as researchers around the world discover more and more ways being in nature changes our physiology.

So how does this play a role in cancer care/healing? Researchers in Japan found that spending time in nature increased levels important components of the immune system, Natural Killer (NK) cells. NK cells help find and eliminate cancer cells in the body and are key to a properly functioning immune system! Therefore, spending time in nature can help your body fight cancer! How cool is that?!

This doesn’t mean you have to drive to your closest forest (which may not be close at all) to gleam these benefits. These positive effects also happen when you spend time in any green space, including parks or simply sitting underneath a tree.

Don’t want to take my word for it? Check out the science! https://doi.org/10.1186/s12199-019-0822-8
