You're Not Crazy, You're Just Unheard
What patients tell us before they find us:
“I’ve been to multiple doctors and still have no answers.” “My labs are ‘normal,’ but I feel awful.” “I’ve spent thousands on supplements and diets that didn’t work.” “I’m tired of being told it’s just stress or aging.”
Why this happens: Most conventional care focuses on suppressing symptoms, not solving the underlying problem. This leads to:
- Temporary relief, then symptoms return stronger
- Conflicting diagnoses and medication overload
- Frustration, fatigue, and feeling like you’re running out of options
You deserve better.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if natural medicine is right for me?
Natural medicine works especially well for people who’ve tried conventional treatments without lasting results, have been told their labs are “normal” but still feel unwell, or want to address root causes rather than just manage symptoms. If you’re dealing with chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, or unexplained health problems, our approach often helps where others haven’t. If you would like a complimentary consultation, we’ll honestly assess whether we can help your specific situation.
Are naturopathic doctors real doctors? What's your training?
Yes, our doctors are fully licensed healthcare providers. Dr. Barker is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) with doctoral-level training from Bastyr University, and Dr. Brousseau is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) who completed medical school and residency training. Both can diagnose, order lab tests, and prescribe treatments. We have over 50 years of combined experience and maintain all required continuing education and licensing.
What's different about your approach compared to my regular doctor?
We spend significantly more time with each patient (60 minutes for initial visits vs. 15 minutes), run more comprehensive testing to find underlying causes, and focus on why you’re sick rather than just treating symptoms. We also use natural treatments like nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes alongside conventional medicine when needed. Most importantly, we listen to your concerns and believe you when you say something’s wrong.
How long will it take to see results?
This varies by person and condition, but most patients notice some improvements within 2-6 weeks, with more significant changes typically seen at 3-6 months. Unlike quick fixes that mask symptoms, we’re working to restore your body’s natural healing capacity, which takes time but creates lasting results. We’ll give you realistic expectations during your visit based on your specific situation.
I've tried so many things already. How do I know this won't be another disappointment?
We understand that frustration — many of our patients have tried multiple approaches before finding us. What makes us different is our comprehensive testing to identify the real underlying causes, our 20+ years of experience, and our individualized approach rather than one-size-fits-all protocols. We also offer a complimentary consultation so you can assess our approach before committing. We’re confident in our methods, but we want you to feel confident too.
Do you actually run real medical tests, or is this all just supplements?
We run comprehensive medical testing — often more thorough than conventional doctors. This includes standard blood work plus specialized tests that most doctors don’t run, like detailed hormone panels, nutritional assessments, and functional testing. We use the same labs your regular doctor uses, but we look at optimal ranges rather than just “normal” ranges. Our treatments are based on objective findings, not guesswork.
Will I have to stop my current medications?
Not necessarily. We never ask patients to stop medications without their prescribing doctor’s approval. Our goal is to help your body heal so that medications may become less necessary over time, but this is always done safely and in coordination with your other healthcare providers. Some patients are able to reduce medications with their doctor’s guidance, while others continue them alongside natural treatments.
