Dr. elizabeth winter, nd, CPM

Dr. Winter believes strongly that health is more than the mere absence of disease and that restoring health is a dynamic process—not simply the suppression of symptoms. Through her medical training, Dr. Winter has come to have great appreciation for the interconnectedness of the body, mind, spirit and environment and works with her patients to restore vitalitythrough addressing all aspects of a patient's life. Dr. Winter believes the role of a doctor is to partner with patients on a journey to health, coming to understand not only their unique physiology but their goals, preferences, beliefs and values in regards to their health and healing. Through using advanced laboratory testing, genetic testing and physical exam, Dr. Winter aims to come to a precise diagnosis for her patients and then uses a combination of the most effective natural and conventional treatments to restore the body to a state of well-being. Because of her integrated approach, the time she spends with patients, and the therapies she utilizes, patients find freedom from disease even if they have struggled with their health for a long time having "tried everything."

Dr. Winter believes that pregnancy and birth are transformative processes and finds great joy and fulfillment in being able to experience this transformation alongside women and their families.
