Naturopathic Medicine Benefits All Coloradans.
Natural
Holistic
Preventive
The Colorado Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CoAND) is dedicated to strengthening and advancing the naturopathic profession in Colorado. Representing all Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in the state, we provide legislative advocacy, title protection through DORA, professional development, and continuing education opportunities. Recognizing that many NDs practice independently or in small clinics, we also serve as a vital hub for connection, collaboration, and practice growth. Our goal is to expand access to naturopathic medicine across Colorado, empowering more individuals to experience the benefits of a natural, holistic approach to health.

Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct healthcare approach that blends natural therapies with modern medical science to address the root causes of illness and support long-term wellness. Registered naturopathic doctors (NDs) in Colorado complete four years of accredited, post-baccalaureate medical education, including rigorous study in biomedical sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.
NDs take a whole-person approach to care—spending more time with patients, assessing physical, mental, and lifestyle factors, and using comprehensive health histories, physical exams, and diagnostic testing to create individualized treatment plans. Naturopathic medicine emphasizes prevention, education, and the body’s innate capacity to heal.
