About Kathrine Alsop, ND, MS
My personal health journey started me on the road to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor. Growing up I was always the sick kid: skinny, slow, and always complaining about something. As I got older things only got worse. I had constant joint pain, no energy, constant nausea, and excruciating pain with every period. Fainting even became a semi-regular occurrence.
​
I went to specialist after specialist who ran test after test, tried drug after drug and still felt miserable.
Once I found naturopathic medicine, everything fell into place. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Endometriosis within a span of a few years. I completely changed my diet, tackled my hormones with botanical medicine and finally started to feel human again.
​
Despite my good efforts, in the Spring of 2017 I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I was the healthiest I had ever been in my life, and I still had cancer. This was incredibly frustrating to come to terms with, but given my personal history (and the fact that now 3 of 4 members of my immediate family have had cancer), I couldn’t act surprised. I knew I needed to take control, again.
​
After 2 surgeries, another diet overhaul and the addition of cancer-fighting botanicals and nutrients into my everyday routine, I can gratefully say that I am currently cancer free!
​
My clients and I all have a genetic makeup and a past that we cannot change. This has thrown us into a fight for our health. My mission is to help my clients win this fight by handing them the right tools, teaching them how to use them and staying by their side every step of the way.
