• Medical Weight Loss
  Our hormone or “endocrine” system is very complex and inter-related. It includes thyroid hormones, cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, insulin, and MANY more. For each of these hormones, there are typically “stimulating” and “releasing” hormones which further impact the delicate health balance. In addition, if one part of the hormone system is mal-functioning, other parts of the system will try and compensate. The myriad of symptoms from hormone imbalance(s) include fatigue, PMS, hair loss, excess hair, pain, weight loss or gain, depression or anxiety, constipation, high or low blood pressure, hot flashes, night sweats, cold intolerance, heat intolerance, swelling, and many more! Dr. Brown’s biochemistry and organic chemistry research background provides invaluable insight into evaluation and treatment of endocrine disorders.

• Constipation
• Infectious Diseases
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  Nutrition is the foundation of health. In addition to a healthy diet, proper digestion is essential to good nutrition. This includes everything from properly chewing our food, to enough stomach acid, to enough enzymes, to healthy intestinal linings, to proper muscle tone, to proper bacterial growth, and more. If any one of these areas is deficient, our health is likely suffering. Symptoms include excessive gas or bloating, diarrhea, constipation, cramping, heartburn, reflux, and more. Sometimes symptoms are primarily fatigue, bad breath, hemorrhoids, chronic cough, joint pain, swollen joints, irritability, hyperactivity, inability to focus, etc. Chronic illnesses can include Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Celiac disease. Food sensitivities may also be contributing to these symptoms. Hormonal imbalances are sometimes an underlying cause as well.
• Bronchitis
• Diarrhea
• Pneumonia
• Immunizations
  Not surprisingly, I get many questions about vaccination against Covid-19. There is a lot of concern due to the rapid development of them as well as how they work. There are many questions, too: do they work, what are the side effects, what are the long-term effects, do I really need one, are they safe, do they reduce the spread of Covid-19, etc. These are all legitimate and thoughtful questions. And, as you probably already know, there are not answers to all of our questions. But here is what I can offer...

Gynecologists

• Female Infertility
• Endometriosis
  Dr. Brown treats conditions including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menopausal symptoms, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, PCOS, infertility, premature ovarian failure, STD’s, abnormal uterine bleeding, painful menses, vaginitis, yeast infections, etc. Her approach focuses on determining the underlying cause of these conditions—natural treatments typically resolve conditions but pharmaceuticals and bio-identical hormones are prescribed when indicated.

Neurologists

• Multiple Sclerosis
  Our bodies are constantly bombarded by environmental toxins. Some individual also have had acute toxin exposures. Sources of toxicity may include mercury fillings, pesticides, herbicides, contaminated water, plastics, exhaust fumes, anti-perspirants, and many more. Our bodies work hard to eliminate these toxins but eventually become over-burdened and unable to continue to function properly. In addition, we are unable to eliminate some toxins which then become stored. The primary storage locations include fat tissue (making it difficult for some people to lose weight) and nerve tissue (including the brain). Toxin burden is implicated in Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and many others.

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  Dr. Brown also specializes in naturopathic pediatric care from ages 2 years and up. Naturopathic health care for children carries particular importance as preventative medicine for life-long benefits. Dr. Brown has successfully treated ear infections, allergies, sinus infections, digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, etc.), behavior disorders (ADD, ADHD, ASD, etc.), skin conditions (resistant infections, eczema, hives, etc.) and more. She also provides well child examinations, vaccine counseling, sports physicals, and diet counseling.
• Stress Management
  Emotional and mental states influence the physical state. Counseling and stress management are utilized when indicated to assist the healing process.
• Depression
• Anxiety

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Thyroid

Radiologist

• Ultrasound
  Offering a wide variety of therapeutic manipulation of muscles, bones, and spine, we provide osseous and soft tissue manipulation, Frequency Specific Microcurrent©, therapeutic ultrasound, exercise therapeutics, and heat, cold and water treatments.

Surgeons

• Sciatica
  Therapeutic ultrasound provides deep heating effects to the body. Penetration can be limited to approximately 1 – 2 cm or increased to approximately 5 cm, depending upon the patient’s needs. Therapeutic ultrasound can provide pain relief, reduction of muscle spasms, and increased blood flow. It has been used successfully to treat bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, back pain, sciatica, post-operative pain, and neuralgias. Dr. Brown combines the use of botanical medicine with ultrasound to maximize benefits of the treatment.

Dermatologists

• Cyst
• Eczema
  Don’t get too concerned about E, G, and A–the point is just that allergists do not check for IgG or IgA responses. IgG and IgA responses are typically “delayed” which makes identification of food intolerances difficult for people. Lucky for us, WONDERFUL AND SIMPLE TESTING is available to check for “immuno-reactive” foods. Consumption of these foods can cause symptoms from eczema to joint pain, diarrhea and constipation to brain fog, abdominal pain to fatigue. You get the picture.
• Rashes
• Psoriasis
  Halotherapy has been in use for hundreds of years. Ancient Greeks used it for its expectorant properties. Monks used salt caves as part of their treatment for the sick in medieval days. In 1843, a Polish doctor published a book on his observations of the benefits of the salt caves on miners. Then during WWII, another physician noted improvements in respiratory health of those seeking shelter in the salt mines in Germany. Recent research has confirmed health benefits for conditions including childhood and adult asthma, acute respiratory diseases, chronic obstructive lung diseases, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. Allergy sufferers find tremendous relief, too. Halotherapy also promotes relaxation and stress reduction!

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  In Washington state, naturopathic physicians are included as Primary Care Providers (PCP’s). Dr. Brown focuses on family care including women’s health and children’s health. She provides physical examinations including well-child exams and sports physicals. Screening labs and imaging may be ordered to screen for elevated cholesterol, anemias, diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, immune dysfunction, liver and kidney dysfunction, and many more. Important in our naturopathic approach is the evaluation of such results while values are still in “normal” ranges—trends in health or dysfunction can be seen and treated before these become abnormal.

Allergists
