Naturopathic physicians go beyond basic nutrition advice to identify the specific dietary plan and nutritional supplements that are best for each patient to maintain wellness or to correct a health problem. Clinical Nutrition counseling provided by NDs relies on a fast-growing body of scientific knowledge, the interpretation of dietary assessments for identifying food allergies or sensitivities, and teaching patients about whole foods and the appropriate use of dietary supplements.

Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) follow six core principles that serve as a philosophical platform for everything they do and guides diagnosis and treatment. One of these six guiding principles is the healing power of nature.

By removing those obstacles and adding in additional naturopathic therapies, NDs can optimize and enhance the natural healing power of the body.
