Supplemental Oncology Treatment at Bastyr Center
Did you know that natural medicine can be an effective tool for managing the side effects of oncology treatment? At Bastyr Center, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and counseling services are available to help offset symptoms from oncology treatments — including nausea, digestive problems, mucositis, fatigue and chemo-related cognitive problems — and help your body heal naturally. Our practitioners consult with your oncologist to create an integrative plan and provide updates with a treatment summary letter after every visit. Call 206.834.4100 to learn more about our services and to schedule an appointment.
Bastyr Center's Diabetes and Cardiovascular Wellness Program
Bastyr Center's unique Diabetes and Cardiovascular Wellness Program offers new treatment options for two health conditions that have more in common than one might think. Diabetes expert and lead provider for the program, Ryan Bradley, ND, explains that inflammation — caused by diabetes — can put diabetics at higher risk for heart disease. Fortunately, diabetes and cardiovascular disease can be both prevented and treated successfully using natural medicine. Our experienced naturopathic physicians can guide you through the myriad of treatment options and create an individualized treatment plan based on your health needs and goals. Emphasizing diet, exercise and stress-management techniques, we can help you find new ways to complement your current medications, offset nutritional deficiencies and delay the need for additional medications using natural therapies. Learn more about the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Wellness Program at Bastyr. Make an appointment or schedule a 20-minute free evaluation by calling 206.834.4100.
