Naturopaths near Coolidge, AZ

An essential principal of Naturopathic medicine is the "healing power of nature"(Vis Medicatrix Naturae). This concept forms the foundation of my belief and approach to medicine. While I treat a wide variety of chronic degenerative diseases, cancer is a passion and important focus of my practice. As such I was a professor of Oncology at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I instructed 4th year Naturopathic medical students. I also served on the board of directors for the "Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians" (OncANP). I was a past Vice President and chair of research for this specialty organization.

My ideal patient is someone who is ready to feel healthy again and find solutions that will actually help without side effects. Due to insurance, it can be hard to find a quality physician that will listen to their chief concerns and address them well. I will always listen to patients and never disregard patient's concerns. My initial appointments are designed to put the patient first and help them see long-lasting results. My overall goal with every patient is to guide and empower them so they may fulfill their own unique purpose and life fulfillment. My passion is helping people achieve their optimal state of health and wellness.

My ideal client is a person who is looking to treat issues such as Hormone Balance, Depression or Anxiety by using a more integrative approach that combines natural therapies with more traditional therapies. I use bioidentical hormones as well as supplements, herbal medicine and homeopathy. Additionally, I use Low Dose Naltrexone for several chronic diseases.

Dr. Shell is an integrative primary care physician whose passion is to help her patients achieve optimal health. Dr. Shell takes a very proactive and preventative approach to healthcare, which requires advanced testing and interpretation. Comprehensive lab tests are ordered for all new patients (billed through insurance) to eliminate the guesswork and to leave no stone unturned. This includes a thorough assessment of hormones, vitamins, micronutrients, inflammatory factors, diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk, autoimmune markers, chronic infections, and more.

I treat numerous conditions, both acute & chronic- general family medicine. I have advanced training in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy with the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. I also have many patients with autoimmune disease such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Sjogren's Syndrome in which I've been successful in eliminating/decreasing many of their prescription drugs and symptoms. I enjoy helping people feel good again. I graduated #1 in my class from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and I too will give you my all when treating you and working with you to regain your health and wellness.
