Conditions We Treat

Digestive Health

Digestive health is a fundamental pillar of naturopathic medicine, as the digestive system plays crucial role in overall well-being, from nutrient absorption to immune function and inflammation control. At Natural Medicine of Denver, our NDs investigate what’s causing your digestive issues, such as bloating, IBS, food sensitivities, and leaky gut. We look at the whole picture to assess gut health through comprehensive testing, dietary analysis, and lifestyle factors, creating personalized treatment plans that may include targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, and stress management techniques. We specialize in addressing complex digestive health challenges with a root-cause approach tailored to each patient.

Hormone Balance

Hormone imbalances are complicated for anyone who suffers from them. Hormones influence everything from energy levels to your mood and ability to sleep well. At Natural Medicine of Denver, we take a holistic, root-cause approach to addressing hormone imbalances related to stress, thyroid function, reproductive health, or adrenal insufficiency. Our Naturopathic Doctors use comprehensive testing to assess hormone levels and create personalized treatment plans that may include nutritional support, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation. We work with the body’s natural hormonal rhythms and balances to ensure a more vibrant daily life.

Fatigue

For many people, fatigue is an ongoing health problem. It may be a sign of an underlying imbalance in the body. Whether linked to stress, poor sleep, nutritional deficiencies, or other health conditions, fatigue often indicates a deeper issue. Our Naturopathic Doctors take a comprehensive approach, evaluating factors such as hormone levels, adrenal function, gut health, and nutrient status to create personalized treatment plans that restore energy and overall well-being. Using targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, and stress management techniques, we help restore energy levels naturally through holistic healthcare practices. By supporting the body’s ability to heal and function optimally, we empower patients to achieve optimal health and long-lasting wellness.

Dr. Salsbery is amazing!! She is extremely knowledgeable and explained my symptoms and what was causing them to me in a way that I could understand. I saw a huge reduction in symptoms around 2 months into working with her and following her suggestions.

If you are frustrated with being just a faceless/nameless number at your allopathic doctor who spends maybe 15 minutes with you, only to then prescribe a battery of pharmaceutical pills, Dr. Sara Salsbery at Natural Medicine of Denver is for you. In our introductory meeting, Dr. Salsbery spent 90 minutes understanding my health & medical history as well as my goals. She offered up natural options to my minor health issues I came in for, which ended up solving them without any damaging pharmaceuticals or never-ending prescriptions that cause long-term side effects. You can do a LOT worse going the traditional faceless doctor/insurance route. I recommend giving Dr. Salsbery & Natural Medicine of Denver a shot.

I stumbled across this practice few years ago, and started seeing Dr. Woods. She helped me regulate my hormones, which helped lead to a miracle pregnancy in my mid 40s. I went back to her a little after a year of being postpartum to check my hormone and various blood levels, and am again so happy with my care. She spent nearly two hours thoroughly going over my results, offering her expertise and suggestions for support where I need it. It’s so nice to feel so supported and have a doctor that truly cares about me.

Dr. Woods is absolutely amazing! She was able to help me get into remission with my Ulcerative Colitis when the standard medical system did not. I feel better than I have in years. She is also an amazing woman who really has the best interest of her patients as her number one priority.

What impressed me most was how comprehensive and personalized the treatment plan was.

FAQs

At Natural Medicine of Denver, we understand that you may have questions about our holistic approach to health and wellness. Below, we address some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand our services and how we can support your journey to optimal health.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a form of healthcare that focuses on finding and treating the root cause of illness rather than masking symptoms. Our registered Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) use evidence-based natural therapies — including herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle counseling, and hands-on physical medicine — to help your body heal and thrive.

How is a Naturopathic Doctor different from a conventional MD?

Both MDs and NDs complete rigorous medical training, but Naturopathic Doctors specialize in natural and holistic therapies. NDs spend significantly more time with each patient, take a whole-body approach, and prioritize long-term wellness over symptom management. Many patients see both an ND and a conventional doctor as complementary care.

Does insurance cover naturopathic medicine?

Our office is not contracted with insurance for appointments and we do not accept insurance plans to pay for appointments, but depending on your insurance plan, naturopathic medical coverage sometimes be included. We recommend calling your insurance provider to ask whether naturopathic physician visits are covered under your benefits as an out of network benefit. We are happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement. Contact our office for details.
