In his 30 years of practice as a Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Werness has seen time after time how we can reverse illness by accessing the body’s natural capacity to heal through natural functional medicines integrating: clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, mind-body connections, and physical medical therapies. Focusing on health, disease is often mitigated. After graduating from Bastyr University as a Naturopathic Doctor in 1992, Dr. Werness began his career in natural functional medicine, in Seattle, Washington. A few years later he moved back east to Durham, NC. “the city of medicine” and has worked ever since, to integrate the whole of medicine, working in a variety of settings from large medical centers to private and collaborative practices in North Carolina since 1997. He served as President of the Institute for Natural Medicine and co-authored four books on The Natural Way of Healing. Today he lives with his wife and son in Durham, NC. He travels across the country guest lecturing at Duke University, UNC and Wake Forest University and doing public speaking engagements on integrative healing with natural functional medicine. Click here for more information about Dr. Werness' credentials.
