Business Spotlight Dr. Nicole Klughers, ND


As a licensed naturopathic physician, acupuncture specialist, former pharmacist, and wellness educator, I offer all-natural solutions to restore optimal health and help individuals reclaim a life of energy, bal- ance, and joy. By listening closely to your story and


utilizing detailed testing, I work with you to identify and address the root cause of your health concerns. In other words, I serve as your “health detective” and will thoroughly “investigate” to fi nd the culprit of your symptoms.


I provide care to all ages and address a wide range of acute


and chronic concerns, including digestive problems, weight gain, allergies, autoimmunity, hair loss, thyroid disorders, infertility, hor- monal imbalances, skin conditions, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia, chronic pain, headaches, as well as many other symptoms that fi t no recognized diagnosis. Natural approaches used in my practice include personalized nutrition (based on your food sensitivity testing, genetics and blood type) hormone balanc- ing, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, mindfulness, motivation, movement and more.


1. Why are you passionate about your specialty and what sets you apart from other practitioners in the holistic fi eld?


Formerly working as a pharmacist, I realized the limitations of con-


ventional medicine in its ability to provide integrative, sustainable, and holistic care. I knew there had to be a better way for me to provide “health” care to my community and I believe that most people are not pleased with the idea of taking drugs for the rest of their lives.


Experienced in a variety of healthcare settings, I now practice as an


integrative physician. I focus on utilizing natural therapies and help- ing individuals establish a foundation of good health, yet I’m also fully equipped to recommend appropriate conventional approaches if need- ed. Human beings are incredibly complex and my commitment is to be as thorough as possible in every visit. For this reason, I dedicate more time for appointments with patients compared to many practitioners. The patients I see greatly appreciate being able to ask plenty of ques- tions in our visits together and never feel “rushed.”


2. Tell us about the best memory you have about being a holistic practitioner.


I am often presented with particularly complicated and chron- ic cases from individuals that have not found relief elsewhere and are searching for alternative health solutions. My best memories in practice as a naturopathic physician are helping these individuals. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to make these memories almost every day when supporting patients to feel happy, feel heard, and feel healthy again. 3. What plans do you have for the future for your practice?


We’ve faced many challenges in 2020. This calls for me to adjust aspects of my practice, as well as the classes and events I organize. I’m passionately committed, now more than ever, to support my com- munity in staying well. I’ll be offering free wellness programs every month through an online platform in an effort to provide education and empowerment to my local and global community.


Although I normally see patients in my offi ce, I’ve received


positive patient feedback regarding telemedicine appointments. So, for those who prefer it, I’ll continue this video-consult option so I can still connect face-to-face with patients from wherever they may be.

t Donna Bunte Whole Health, I help people become well by looking at the whole picture and fi nding the cause of the problem. I work in partnership with the patient to bring the body into balance using the tools of Chinese diagnosis, acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle changes, as well as qigong and meditation.


1. Why are you passionate about your specialty? Chinese medicine and nutrition turned my own health around in so


many ways starting in my 20’s from reversing a heart condition, infertility, and overall health improvement. In my own practice, I see dramatic results using these tools every day for so many different issues. It is so inspiring to be able to help people improve their health and thus their quality of life.


2. What sets you apart from other practitioners in the holistic fi eld?


In my practice, I aim to help people to heal themselves. I listen to my patients and try to understand the root causes of their issues, explaining that we will work towards whole health together as partners. My 25 years of experience helps me to fi nd what will be the best treatment plan for each individual client, whether it is nutritional changes, acupuncture, meditation or lifestyle modifi cations.


3. Tell us about the best memory you have about being a holistic practitioner.


It is always so wonderful to see people become well from any health issue but when an infertility patient became pregnant and had her baby after trying for years with western medicine it is truly rewarding being in this fi eld!
