I'm Dr. Michelle Wolford
As a licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Doctor, I have successfully run a telemedicine and clinical practice treating both children and adults for a variety of acute and chronic conditions.
I have traveled the world working with top doctors, herbalists, shamans, and gurus to expand my knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine for your optimal healing experience. As a thought leader, I have a unique ability to intertwine my medical training with natural medicine and advancements in modern science. With extensive knowledge in herbology, energy medicine, nutrition, body movement, nature's rhythms, meditation, breath work, ancient healing traditions, and spirituality—I am The Sage and Scientist.
My passion and purpose are to restore your body’s natural function and wisdom by supporting healing and creating opportunities for you to thrive as your best self.
I have been a keynote speaker for the Natural Living Speakers Tour, interviewed by Forbes, voted Best Naturopathic Doctor in Encinitas, CA, and have contributed as a guest writer for the Journal of Alternative Medicine. I continue to guest speak on podcasts and in public forums.
When I’m not serving others, I’m traveling the world, spending time with the ones I love most, playing sports and getting lost in nature!
My Method
Naturopathic Medicine
The foundation of Naturopathic Medicine lies in the use of herbs, homeopathy, nutrition, micronutrient replenishment, and lifestyle enhancements to support detoxification, restoration, and healing. This approach emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person—addressing not just symptoms, but also the underlying causes of illness to optimize both your brain and body.
I practice a specialized form of Naturopathic Medicine known as Bio-Therapeutic Drainage Therapy (BTDT). This therapy is among the most powerful, yet gentle and effective forms of healing. It employs unique combinations of herbs and homeopathy to facilitate gentle detoxification and restore the natural function of your body.
When you experience a symptom, no matter how big or small, acute or chronic, your body is signaling that something is out of balance. Natural Medicine can support your journey back to a lasting state of balance—which represents true health—rather than merely masking symptoms for a temporary fix.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is centered on understanding how your body functions within its everyday environment. We achieve this through a comprehensive approach that includes symptom expression, body analysis, and lab testing. This method allows us to assess how each organ system—such as the liver, gut, and nervous system—operates on a day-to-day basis in response to various internal factors such as thoughts, feelings, hormones, gut health, and external influences such as people, places, food, chemical exposures, and stress.
By taking a holistic view of your health, we evaluate your foundational organ systems and consider the six aspects of health. This thorough analysis helps us identify what is out of balance and which system(s) require support to restore harmony within your body.
Functional Medicine empowers you to take an active role in your health journey by recognizing the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the impact of lifestyle choices. Through personalized treatment plans, we aim to optimize your health, enhance your overall well-being, and promote long-term vitality.
