by | Aug 19, 2025

Because laughter really is good medicine… here’s our Top 10 Reasons to See a Naturopathic Doctor

10. Because Google isn’t actually a licensed healthcare provider.
9. We won’t judge you for bringing a grocery bag full of supplements. (We’ve seen weirder.)
8. Sometimes the answer isn’t another elimination diet—it’s fixing the gut that made you eliminate everything.
7. Because “my labs are normal” doesn’t mean “you feel normal.”
6. Because your gut has more followers than Instagram—might as well listen to it.
5. You don’t have to choose between kale and coffee—we’ll meet you where you live.
4. Because “side effects may include” shouldn’t sound scarier than the disease.
3. We treat more than just the body part you point at.
2. You’ll finally know which of your 47 supplements you can stop taking.

And the number one answer to the question, “Why should I see a naturopathic doctor?” is…

1. Because thriving beats surviving. Every time.

Joy Maples is the Executive Director of the Colorado Association of Naturuopathic Doctors . She’s not a doctor of any kind and faints at the sight of blood. But she’s one heck of an administrator.

As Executive Director, she’s a bridge builder. She is the one working to make naturopathic medicine visible, understandable, and useful to people who’ve only known the mainstream healthcare system, which we all agree is stressed.

“I’m a patient, a professional, and an advocate,  working to make naturopathic medicine a viable option for preventative care in Colorado’s healthcare landscape. Coloradans deserve options in safely gaining their health and vitality through the care of a registered Colorado Naturopathic Doctor.”
