When Loss Becomes Biology
Helping women heal the physical effects of grief and loss through whole-person medicine
Hi, I’m Dr. Michele Burklund.
As a widow, I learned firsthand that grief doesn't just break the heart, it changes the body.
The experiences that shape our lives also shape our biology. My work is dedicated to helping patients understand and heal the physical effects of loss, trauma, and profound life changes through personalized naturopathic medicine.

How my story brought me to you…
I understand what it feels like to move through profound health challenges, not just as a doctor but as someone who has lived inside the uncertainty. When my father was diagnosed with stage-4 brain cancer while I was just 20 years old, everything shifted in an instant.
I became his caretaker, his advocate, and a relentless seeker of answers beyond what standard medicine could offer, drawing on ancient wisdom, nature, and faith instead of relying solely on statistics.
And that moment was only the beginning of my path into this work…

“I love Dr. Burklund because she searches for the bottom of the problem instead of just putting a “bandage on the surface”. 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. Very happy with the results when being her patient”.
