Welcome to the Future of Healthcare
What is the #1 thing you'd like to see doctors do differently?
Here at Fundamental Medicine we take the time to listen. It takes time to understand your story and path. It also takes time to change patterns of behavior and thought. It can be done, when there is the desire. We call it "slow medicine".
Your treatment depends on you. No two people are the same. What are you willing to do? What are you never ever going to do? We will explore your options, and you can choose a path that agrees with your values and goals. We help you remove barriers to cure, build resilience and strength. With your inner strength fortified you can weather the challenges of life and live well. No one else can live your life for you.
Dr Teresa Gryder is the founder of Fundamental Medicine and a licensed Naturopathic Physician. She is a different kind of naturopath because she believes that the scientific method reveals the best medicine and is a solid basis for public policy. She searches for evidence-based alternatives, and will openly discuss her reasoning with you. Conventional treatments can be effective, but they are not always. Alternative treatments can be unsubstantiated, but they are not always. The future of medicine includes options besides commercial pharmacology and placebos.
There is a big difference between "management" of a condition and resolution. Here we strive for resolution, for cure, for a blissful and satisfying life. Insurance companies, regulators, pharmaceutic corporations and even doctors might tell you that you must take a pill for the rest of your life, or that you will never be normal. If normal is mediocre or miserable, who wants it? Each patient has the right to full information and the right to choose his or her own path.
To really resolve a mental health concern it takes time, and a team of helpers. A counselor, a regular primary care doctor and others may be called in to help you get the care that you need. Dr Gryder fills in the space between counseling and conventional treatments, helping you learn how to live better.
Neurological and psychological problems are inter-related. Inflammation of the brain makes us depressed and leads to dementia. Genetic variations can cause anxiety, autism and psychosis. Emotional pain makes physical pain worse. Any treatment that does not recognize this connection is doomed to be a bandaid, when a deeper shift is desired. Sometimes the most important change is understanding what is happening and why, and accepting it. There is room in this world for all kinds of people.
We can offer guidance beyond drugs to people who have sleep problems, depression and anxiety, addictions, abuse and post traumatic syndromes, traumatic brain injuries, neuralgias, tremors and memory loss. Naturopathic approaches can resolve complex conditions like fibromyalgia, metabolic syndrome, chronic pain, occult infections, chronic fatigue syndrome and other conditions that may not be taken seriously in conventional settings.
We do not discriminate! We happily work with people of every description. Variations in gender, sexuality, race, politics, or spiritual beliefs are normal and good. All people are worthy. We are honored to be of service.
