Weight Loss Naturopaths in Illinois

Ask yourself, "What brought me here?" Whether it's not getting answers from your doctors or the fact that you are still suffering despite taking medications or maybe you are just fed up with what conventional medicine has to offer, I am here to help you. Taking the time to address your concerns and providing guidance in your healing journey is very important. I want to know YOUR story so we can get to the root cause of why you are suffering. I incorporate integrative medicine to restore balance based on your specific needs.

Do you feel as though you are not getting to the root cause of your condition? Are you ready to take your health into your own hands and be educated on natural lifestyle changes that will not suppress, but instead will re-establish the conditions for health? I founded Thrive Natural Health as a way to support individuals who either are interested in the holistic lifestyle or who would like co-management with their primary care physicians. Thrive Natural Health will educate and suggest naturopathic lifestyle modifications such as: diet, nutrition, herbs, exercise, yoga, and therapeutic treatments to restore the mind, body, and soul.

I'm Dr. Kent and here's my story: The truth is I'm just like you! At the age of 35 I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. For the next 10 years I took my thyroid medication faithfully and yet I never felt any better. Nothing really improved. I never had enough energy, I struggled to lose weight, I had a tendency toward depression; to put it mildly I was extremely frustrated. I'd go to my doctor and tell him about my fatigue, my depression and my inability to lose weight. He'd tell me my labs looked fine; it wasn't my thyroid.

As a board certified & licensed Naturopathic Doctor (licensure held in CT because MI has not approved licensure of ND's yet) I am a world class expert in natural medicine. I am considered a general practitioner which means I can see children & adults & I will treat anything from the common cold to cancer. The goal of our relationship together is to TEACH you how to maintain the health of YOU and your family, treat your illnesses when necessary and use me as a reference when you need more guidance.

I provide quality, individualized natural medicine for the entire family. I particularly enjoy working with women, children and families. My patients appreciate my unique approach to their illness. I take time to get to know you as a whole person in order to address the root cause of your problem. I then use natural medicines to trigger the body's innate ability to heal itself and correct the imbalance. I use a combination of custom herbal formulations, diet, stress modification, exercise, acupuncture and specific supplementation. With these tools, I create a Personalized Wellness Plan at each visit that will work into your unique life.
