Biography

Dr. Burklund follows Hippocratic philosophy which focuses on wholeness. Plato summarized this idea in one sentence… “The certain knowledge of nature is solely possible from medicine and only when it is correctly approached as a whole”. She believes that you are more than the sum of your parts and that everything is deeply connected. She also believes that our bodies are telling us something with every aliment we face. Dr. Burklund’s core philosophy includes… The nocebo effect is just as powerful as the placebo effect. It’s important to hold your power and listen to yourself. You are not your disease and it does not define you. The complex intelligence in plants can never be synthesized in a lab. Dr. Burklund attended Medical School at the prestigious Bastyr University, a leader in evidence-based medicine combined with natural health, where she obtained unparalleled insights into how to optimize the human potential, the intelligence of nature, and how to apply the ancient Hippocratic philosophy within the context of modern medicine. Dr. Burklund currently holds licenses in the states of California, Washington, and Montana. She completed her medical education from Bastyr University located in Washington state, which was a 5-year, doctorate level, in residence program including 4,100 hours of didactic and clinical instruction. In addition, Bastyr offered an on-site clinical research department as well as the Seattle clinic. Dr. Burklund’s unique training in naturopathic medical education curricula included certain areas of study not covered in conventional medical school. At the same time, aspiring naturopathic doctors receive training in the same biomedical and diagnostic sciences as MDs and osteopathic doctors (DOs). The result is a comprehensive, rigorous, and well-rounded scientific medical education that is both comparable and complementary to that of MDs and DOs.
