If you are here, then you’re most likely sick of the traditional healthcare system, you have probably tried everything under the sun, or you question the norm. You aren’t ready to accept your fate and you’re certainly not okay with a vague diagnosis or feeling horrible every day. You have done your research. You’re looking for the root cause of your health problem, you want a deep dive into your health concerns, and to really be listened to. You are ready to take the steps necessary to feel better. For whatever reason, I’m glad you’re here.
You are here for a reason…
Heal from the inside out
Hi, I’m Dr. Michele Burklund
Purpose-Driven Doctor, Scientist, Botanical Alchemist, & Widow
I do medicine differently…I know that you are more than the sum of your parts, that’s why I’ve gone beyond the limited approach of “standard of care”. I don’t see you as a diagnosis code or only review the numbers of your labs to create a care plan. I won’t take the easy way out by just treating your symptoms and sending you on your way.
I specialize in investigating the underlying factors that are causing you to feel the way you do. I’ve spent decades dealing with the most complex medical cases you can imagine.
My integrative approach to wellness utilizes functional medicine alongside naturopathic philosophy and mind body methods to find the root cause behind your health problems. Currently, I see patients virtually through a highly personalized telehealth experience.
Functional Testing
Go deeper to discover the root cause and get lasting results.
A detailed evaluation of DNA, metabolic health, microbiome balance, and nutrient status that will provide information for a more customized health journey.
Integrative Medicine
Gain mental clarity, reduce stress, improve mood, and sleep better.
A tailored regime using ancient techniques, visualizations, mantras, breath work, hypnosis, and other mind body practices.
Mind Body Methods
Improve energy, look younger, feel better, reduce pain, and reverse aging.
Using the perfect combination of modern and traditional medicine utilizing the best tools that science and nature have to offer.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Nourish your body, improve digestion, reduce toxins, and learn to listen to your body.
Personalized food & lifestyle recommendations that will best nourish your body and please your soul.
Individualized Root-Cause Medicine, Which Means…
Having a highly trained naturopathic physician that’s on your side, truly listens, and believes that you’re capable of more than you realize.
Real knowledge, intuition, and care (not academic theory or algorithms) that has successfully supported thousands of people on their health journey.
Harnessing the healing power of nature in ways that you can easily blend into your real-world life.
The convenience of having one-on-one appointments, a personalized care plan, and specialty functional medicine testing all under one virtual roof, saving you time from navigating this on your own.
How my story brought me to you…
One day, in 2002, I was home from college for the weekend and my father said he was having trouble getting out his words. He called his doctor and they told him to go to the hospital immediately. I went with him and remember waiting in the ER when my father came back telling me…
“They found something in my brain the size of a golf ball”
I was devastated, scared, and felt helpless. My father was my best friend and my biggest support. He was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, stage-4 “terminal” brain cancer, and given 3 months to live. I went from a carefree college student to a full-time caretaker, medical researcher, and his patient-advocate. I was 20 years old.
This event changed my life course, my view of the medical establishment, and my perspective of what’s possible, but…. this was just the beginning.

The Podcast
Come with me on a journey to the unexplored side of medicine where we speak with rebel doctors, radical herbalists, unorthodox healers, and patients who have healed themselves. Explore the intersection between science & spirituality and discover the power within you.
Trained by the Best: My academic training is strong… I received my doctorate from the most innovative medical school in the world, Bastyr University. I have additional training in neurology, infectious disease, immunology, environmental medicine, medical detoxification, chronic illness, mental health, and functional medicine.
A Fresh Perspective: My clinical side is diverse… I studied bush medicine with generational traditional healers in Belize and Guatemala. I was the first in my medical field to complete a preceptorship in neuro-oncology. I’ve seen thousands of patients with diverse needs… and the one thing they all have in common is that they want to be heard.
Uncover the Origin: My research side is extensive… I have written the feature health and science-based article over 30 times in national health magazines including Better Nutrition, Delish, Nourish & Heal, Vegetarian Times, and Mind Body Green. I was the Chief Science Officer for a well-known wellness company for over 5 years formulating clinical grade products and researching evidence-based ingredients. I helped in two NIH funded studies focused on brain health and I’ve written over 1,000 evidence based wellness articles to date.
Feel Heard: I’ve been there… I was diagnosed with a the second most deadly parasitic infection in the world and successfully treated myself. I’ve seen the other side… I’ve lived in hospitals (literally inside) for months at time in foreign countries including Austria, China, and Greece…
Will you be the next success story?

She also can choose the best option for me or any other person because of knowledge of different types of medicine including Eastern, Western, Holistic and more.
