Frequently Asked Questions
What can natural medicine help with?
Naturopathic medicine focuses on the whole person and can support a variety of conditions. Many people use natural medicine to support pain, fatigue, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, insomnia or to mitigate risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and prediabetes.
What is considered a natural medication?
Natural medications include remedies derived from nature, like herbs, supplements, essential oils, and other plant-based products used to create therapeutic benefits.
Are your consultations free?
We offer free consultations, which typically take around 15-20 minutes. However, these consultations are intended to answer basic, general questions. For more individualized support, we recommend scheduling a new patient appointment.
Do you take insurance?
Generally, no. Due to Colorado state licensing restrictions, we do not bill insurance for our natural health services. Depending on which labs are ordered, we may bill your insurance for lab testing, with the exception of Kaiser, Medicare, and Medicaid. We do provide a superbill to submit to insurance, and some people are eligible for reimbursement.
How long does it take to get lab results?
This timeline varies based on the tests – and results can take between 1-and 21 days.
What types of diets do you recommend?
We recommend a vast array of diets based on the individual needs of each patient. Once we discuss your health concerns and have the results of your lab test, we’ll be able to recommend an ideal nutritional plan.
What is the difference between a traditional naturopathic doctor and a traditional naturopathic or herbalist?
A naturopathic doctor (ND) has formal medical training from an accredited naturopathic medical school, which includes clinical experience and licensure exams. This profession blends conventional medical knowledge with natural therapies.
A traditional naturopath or herbalist may focus solely on natural remedies and practices, often without the formal medical education or licensing that NDs undergo. The education and training can vary widely and may not be standardized.
