To nurture your whole body.
Uncover the root causes of illness, prevent them, and thrive in optimal health.
Personalized Comprehensive Holistic Health Care
The foundation of naturopathic medicine lies in the understanding that the body can heal itself. Each part of your life - social, physical, environmental, mental and emotional - plays a vital role in your overall well-being. The most important aspects of your health journey can be addressed with attentive care and time. Combining personal conversation and pattern recognition, along with exams and labs, helps to inform us of how the body's systems are interconnected and imbalanced. We then can understand the body’s message of what's needed to heal and thrive.
My approach is to treat you as an individual, always and particularly in times of illness, as patients deserve care and compassion. I prioritize our relationship, which is built on trust, education, empowerment and joint decision making.
My mission is to not only serve you with your medical and health needs, but also to support your whole health and wellness journey.
Comprehensive and Preventative Health Care
An initial visit includes a thorough discussion and assessment of the body's patterns and function, as well as a physical exam and open communication. This allows us to find imbalances, whether excess or deficient, and to use the body's inherent wisdom to guide us on the right path back into balance and optimal function.
Dr. Ivory recommends comprehensive labs and a functional medicine assessment to ensure we have the information needed to correct current imbalances and to include a preventative approach, including assessing risk based on family history and key lab markers. We not only look deeply into the state of the physical body, but we also consider the mental and emotional health states so that the patient has access to all levels of healing.
My goal is to create an empowering relationship with the patient that includes them in the decision making process. Patient's should feel heard, supported, informed, and included on how best to find optimal health and healing. Each plan is customized to the patient based on the clinical presentation, the assessment which can include labs, and the patient's preference on how to treat and support their bodies.'
My goal is to create an empowering relationship with each patient that includes them in the decision making process.
Naturopathic Services
Naturopathic Medicine is a scientific based approach that understands and incorporates the healing power of nature, the inherent wisdom of teaching and empowering the individual, and the importance of treating the whole person.
We use this knowledge to remove obstacles of health, to restore deficiencies, to create healthier lifestyles, and to use nature as cure (medicinal options that support healing without harming).

Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is Evidence based care that is person centered, holistic, and focuses on improving the vital force by educating the patient, finding, removing, and healing root causes of illness, and treating the person with the intention of optimal health and wellness. It includes comprehensive assessment tools and labs, and customized treatment for optimal health. This is a health based model, geared to supporting the patient's best interest and highest health goals. Instead of managing illness, we look at living our best life, a life where health, wellness, joy and quality matters.
Conventional and Specialty Lab Testing
In our office, we utilize comprehensive lab panels in order to understand what the whole body is trying telling us. Is there too much inflammation? Low nutrient levels? Immune imbalances? What patterns exist? How can we best approach healing and restoring balance? We focus on the big picture and the small details to ensure that we fully understand what your body needs and treat it accordingly.
These labs include common, less common, and specialized labs based on the patient's presentation, goals, and presentation. Sometimes specialty labs are used that look into GI function and microbiome health (your gut and immune system), food intolerances (which causes inflammation, pain, and damage to the body), toxin exposure and levels, nutrient levels, cardiac health, and more.
Nutrient Injections
Nutrient Injections are intramuscular (IM) injections that get into the body faster and with less effort than pills. People tend to notice an improvement more quickly and are able to build up important nutrients with ease. These are also great for patients who just don't want another pill added to the list.
Some things nutrient injections are used for in our office include: increased energy, improved brain function, weight loss. In addition, improving nutrient levels can help thyroid function, anemia, and overall health.
Nutrition Counseling
Our visits including a diet review and guidelines for how to support healthy weight, manage blood glucose levels, increase energy and nutrient levels, support balanced meal planning and healthy living. Diets are customized based on the patient's needs. We discuss best testing and meal planning options based on how the patient presents and their health goals, health imbalances.
Customized Treatment Plans
Each person is unique. Based on current goals and presentation, Dr. Ivory discusses current and long term goal planning and works with the patient to find the plan that will fit their unique presentation, need, comfort level and goals.
