What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on natural remedies and the body's ability to heal itself. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) focus on treating the root causes of illness and promoting overall wellness through a holistic approach. At Functional Medicine Collaborative Dr. Foss uses a combination of treatment modalities, including naturopathic medicine, lifestyle modification, counseling and acupuncture. His philosophy is to treat the root cause of illness not just the symptoms. He understands that each person is unique and will create a personalized treatment plan based upon each patient's needs and goals.

Dr. Foss encourages healthy living, believes that food should be used as natural medicine, and promotes lifestyle changes to bring one's health back into balance. He supports each patient as they make positive changes to improve their health and quality of life.
