Belltown Spine & Wellness Naturopathic Care

Identify and Treat the Causes

The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than to eliminate or merely suppress symptoms. Dr. Julie Sutton's areas of specialty include, women’s health, endocrinology, weight management, nutrition, exercise programs, and pain management. She may recommend specific therapeutic exercises, individualized healthy diet/lifestyle changes, botanicals/herbs, and/or nutrient supplementation to address certain health conditions and achieve optimal wellness.

First Do No Harm

Naturopathic doctors utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat. They also avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms; and acknowledge, respect, and work with individuals’ self-healing process.

Doctor as Teacher

The foundation of the doctor-patient relationship is about educating patients and encouraging self-responsibility for health.

Treat the Whole Person

Naturopathic medicine, takes into account physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual path.

Prevention

This approach emphasizes disease prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions to prevent illness. Dr. Julie also provides hormone replacement therapy as a treatment option to support optimal health. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, can be offered to men or women who have low hormone levels. HRT can provide many health benefits, as well as increase one’s overall sense of well-being.
