At Nascent Health, Dr. Ashley Southern helps you improve your quality of life by designing a tailored plan to address and/or prevent chronic disease, suboptimal hormone levels, and the normal process of aging. With comprehensive and customized treatment plans, we combine traditional and alternative medical recommendations to help you achieve your ideal state of health.
Naturopathic Physicians use the least invasive treatment modality first before moving on to more aggressive treatments. Sometimes “less is more," and a simple diet change or lifestyle modification can be the solution.
This principle refers to the body’s own ability to heal itself, most of the time with very minimal intervention; our treatment modalities stimulate the body to recover, which often yields more permanent results.
Symptoms are clues for a physician to investigate further - instead of masking symptoms with just prescription medications, our physicians analyze your health history and lab testing to find the cause of your symptoms. We take great responsibility for the entirety of your health and strive to uncover the root cause of your disease.
You are a complex network of billions of cells, enzymatic pathways, organ systems, and chemical reactions. As such, your health may require more than one solution, and we have many tools at our clinic to address it.
Many illnesses can be avoided with the right guidance and forethought. We are here to help elicit new behaviors and make long-term changes so that you have the power to prevent future disease.
The purpose of a physician is to teach you about your health. You have a right to know what is happening with your condition, and we strive to make sure you are adequately educated about your health.
We prepare you for needed changes, and supply you with the proper tools to take care of yourself, so that you can continue to thrive outside the doctor's office. We have not done our job properly if you are left without the resources you need to get better.
