Naturopathic Doctor in Los Altos, California

Naturopathic doctors and medical doctors are both licensed healthcare providers, although their professional paths differ in terms of specializations and healthcare practices. While their core training is identical, each profession adds unique perspectives and techniques to patient care. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) take a holistic approach that delves into the underlying reasons, emphasizes preventive measures, addresses the complete person's health, and promotes general well-being. Their approach is based on the notion that good health includes not only the absence of sickness, but also the balance and harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.

One of the distinctive characteristics of NDs is their emphasis on treating the underlying causes of health problems rather than simply treating the symptoms. NDs seek to restore the body's intrinsic ability to heal itself and maintain optimal health throughout time by recognising and correcting underlying imbalances or dysfunctions. Naturopathic Doctors are trained as primary care physicians and receive at least four years of doctorate education and clinical training at a nationally accredited Naturopathic Medical School, where they learn the same biomedical sciences in depth as traditional medical schools while also being medically trained in natural therapies, holistic approaches to wellness, and disease prevention.

They utilize evidence-based natural treatments such as nutraceutical supplements, herbal medicine, counseling, physical therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling. They are also trained in drugs, clinical injections, and small surgery, just like medical doctors. This provides Naturopathic Doctors with a diverse set of tools for prescribing personalized treatment regimens that strike a compromise between the most effective therapies and what is least detrimental to each individual patient.
A Naturopathic Doctor may offer blood tests and lab work to look for vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, adrenal gland stress, and other underlying factors. The difference is that, rather than simply providing pharmaceutical medications to cover symptoms, an alternative medicine practitioner would look into your nutrition, vitamins, sleep, and other lifestyle factors to address the fundamental cause.

At IBHM, we follow the core principles of naturopathy, including the concept that "less is more." Naturopathy is based on the belief that the body has an inbuilt ability to cure itself when given the correct conditions. We prioritize natural, non-invasive therapies that function in tandem with the body's inherent healing processes. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, our approach emphasizes prevention and treatment of the underlying cause of illness. By emphasizing comprehensive well-being and encouraging balance in mind, body, and spirit, we enable our patients to achieve peak health and vitality. At IBHM, we are dedicated to offering gentle, effective, and personalized care that upholds naturopathic principles and promotes the body's natural ability to heal.

Our naturopathic doctors are committed to using a comprehensive approach to identify the underlying causes of your health issues. They create specialized treatment plans based on the unique origins of your illnesses. These regimens include a wide variety of natural and alternative therapies that have been carefully chosen to address your particular health challenges and promote overall healing.
