Functional Medicine Naturopaths in Utah

Have you ever left a doctor visit thinking: “I wish I could see a provider who recommends treatments that make sense to me. I want natural medicines that boost my energy and make me feel better, and that don't just treat symptoms." If you want to abandon the 1 pill for 1 symptom approach that is becoming obsolete, I'm here to help. I've studied natural & integrative medicine extensively, and work with patients who have seen numerous providers but are still sick and searching for answers. If you suffer from chronic illness, acute injury, mental-emotional issues, environmental/mold issues, or want to detox, this is the place for you.

My ideal patient is prepared to not only feel well but to surpass that and experience a level of vitality they never thought possible. I love using natural therapies to optimize overall health and digestive function. Patients I see have likely neglected their digestive issues such as heartburn, chronic constipation and consequential fatigue for some time and have discovered how little issues not dealt with in the present become chronic concerns in the future. My patients have pushed their bodies for too long and are taking time to reassess their priorities and placing health at number one!

Since 1999, Dr. Thaddeus Jacobs has helped improve the health of many patients suffering from a wide array of health conditions. Dr. Jacobs provides a unique, individualized whole person treatment approach that inspires and empowers patients to achieve optimal health through education and a blend of conventional, traditional, and complementary and alternative medicines. Dr. Jacobs also offers a unique and extremely effective Chinese family style of acupuncture not available at Chinese and U.S. teaching institutions.

My approach to your healthcare is to help you find real answers. If you are looking for natural solutions rather than prescriptions, or if you just don't yourself but have been told that you are “fine”, I want you to know that there are alternatives and that you deserve to feel healthy. I connect the pieces from your current symptoms, your health history and your prior lab work to understand how you got here, how your symptoms may be related, and how you can begin to heal.

I am a medically trained naturopathic medical doctor that understands both conventional and alternative medicine. I offer patients effective and scientifically sound medical alternatives. My main focus is to identify the cause of an individuals condition and stimulate the innate healing mechanisms of the body to heal. Patients leave my office comfortable that they are receiving the most effective alternative treatments available.

Your body possesses the miraculous capacity to heal. Illness results from three possible primary causes. (1) Your cells are not getting all the nutrients they require to function optimally. (2) Your cells have accumulated toxic residues from the environment leading to dysfunction. (3) Your body is suffering from a chronic, low grade, silent infection which you may not even know exists (bacteria, spirochetes, viruses and mold). The objective of every physician must be to investigate and treat any and all underlying causes of symptoms and chronic illness.
