This clearly breaks down the differences between licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) and naturopaths.

When you're looking for a naturopathic doctor, one word makes all the difference: licensed.

Currently, 26 U.S. jurisdictions have laws regulating the practice of naturopathic medicine and efforts to expand licensure to more states are ongoing. That's important, because licensure isn't just a formality. It's a meaningful safeguard for patients.

Here's something many people don't know: the titles "naturopathic doctor" and "naturopath" are sometimes used interchangeably but they are not the same thing.

A licensed naturopathic doctor (ND):
✅ Graduated from an accredited, four-year, in-residence naturopathic medical school
✅ Completed a minimum of 4,100 hours of class and clinical training
✅ Passed the NPLEX, a rigorous two-part national board exam
✅ Is regulated by a state licensing board
✅ Carries malpractice insurance and fulfills continuing education requirements
✅ Can order blood tests, X-rays, MRIs, and in many states, prescribe medications and perform minor procedures

An unlicensed naturopath, by contrast, may have widely varying levels of education, often through online or correspondence programs that are not accredited and do not qualify for the NPLEX or state licensure.

Knowing the difference helps you find the most qualified provider for your care and that's something we're committed to making easier.

Expanding licensure. Raising standards. Connecting patients with the right doctors. That's what Naturopathic Medicine Week is all about. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4sEoCPt

Food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances are quite common in our culture.

In fact, you may be able to think of someone with a known food allergy (i.e. peanuts, eggs, shellfish). Some studies demonstrate that the prevalence of food allergies and sensitivities has been increasing over the years.

Brain fog. Mood swings. That “why did I walk into this room?” feeling. 🧠✨

What if your gut has more to say about it than you think?

The microbiota–gut–brain axis isn’t just a buzzword it’s a two-way conversation between your digestion, your nervous system, your immune system, and your mind. When the gut is inflamed, imbalanced, or stressed… your brain often feels it too. (Hello anxiety, low motivation, focus struggles, and that heavy mental cloud.)

In this post, Dr. Katie breaks down how a naturopathic + functional medicine approach looks beyond symptom management and asks the deeper question: why is this happening in the first place? 🧩 From comprehensive stool testing to nutrient, cortisol, and toxin assessments, it’s about connecting the dots not guessing.

Because there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental and cognitive health. And supporting your brain might just start with healing your gut. 🌿
