At Cutler Integrative Medicine, we find the very best scientifically validated therapies from conventional and alternative systems to address the whole individual, encompasses the physical, emotional, social, environmental, mental, and spiritual aspects of health and illness integrating the ancient wisdom of nature with the modern research of science.

This modality considers the vine-like connectedness of interactions that occur along nutritional, digestive, detoxification, energy metabolism, hormonal, structural, and immune/inflammatory pathways.
All of the therapies on this page are used in Naturopathic care but have nothing to do with being medically trained as a Naturopathic Physician. MDs/DOs can take weekend courses in these modalities, and the public can take certifications in natural and holistic therapies. Still, they all lack the specialty and extensive training as a Naturopathic Physician. It is the naturopathic doctor’s role to remove barriers to good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.
