Health Professionals in Bellingham, WA

Every new patient I meet is like a puzzle, and I relish the experience of helping each person find the unique combination of pieces that makes their life more complete and fulfilling. I understand that lifestyle change is hard and uncomfortable, but it can also be purposeful and manageable when thought of as a more long-term investment toward your best self. If I can impart any words of encouragement until we first meet, I want you to know two things: there is no such thing as failure, only learning experiences; and you are worth the investment you make in yourself.

Recently I became certified in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego (SRISD), a research center devoted to the investigation of motor vehicle crash injury. As part of this intensive 48-hour training program, I became familiar with the epidemiology of whiplash and brain injuries, the mechanical factors of motor vehicle crashes, and the wide range of physical injuries and clinical conditions that can occur. Dr. Croft of SRISD trained his students on how to provide patients with the most effective and comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation strategies to ensure optimal outcome potential.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life with a variety of health concerns. Our goal is to identify the root of dysfunction and empower the individual to take ownership of their health moving toward wellness. It is exciting to work with people who have questions, have done personal research, and are curious about how best to establish a foundation of health in their lives.

Imagine the happiest, healthiest version of yourself that you can picture. Do you see someone who is pain-free, energetic, courageous and purposeful? Maybe you see yourself free of suffering, or playing with your children again? I am here to tell you that you can be reclaim your health and live pain free. As a naturopathic doctor, I work with people daily who are feeling stuck - reliant on medications and a health system that too often keeps them confused and sick. In my practice, I work with individuals looking for natural solutions and I give them the knowledge and tools to regain their happiness and health.

Hi there, my name is Dr. Jenna Jorgensen, naturopthic physician and creator of Northwest Life Medicine Clinic. My practice has a strong focus on health education, preventative health, and health restoration. Symptoms are clues to health imbalance, If you are looking to learn what your symptoms are telling you about your health at a foundational level, come on in to see me. I will work with any condition, however, I most commonly see folks with anxiety, stress, weight gain, obesity, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, joint pain, and allergies.

I am a naturopathic physician with a special interest in healthy aging, geriatric care, digestive health, navigating menopause, hormonal health, and emotional wellbeing. To me, being a doctor is not just providing medical advice, it is providing compassion, empathy, and validation to every patient I encounter. It is going the extra mile to dig deeper and find solutions, even when the answers don't come easily. It is about supporting patients on their health journeys, empowering them to move forward with resilience and confidence. I believe that the doctor-patient relationship should be a partnership, with you at the wheel.

My priority as a Naturopathic doctor is to help you reintegrate to wholeness. This means that my relationship to my patients is as important to me as staying up to date on diagnoses, testing and treatments. Through creating a safe space, we can get to the core of the misalignment that is going on in the body and create a plan on how to best support your Self’s return to health. Every body has an innate ability to heal, so identifying road blocks in the mind, emotions, body and spirit is individually vital to returning to wholeness.

Providing compassionate care is the foundation of my practice. Staying true to the origins of classical Chinese medicine, with its philosophical roots embedded in the ideals of virtue, compassion, and wisdom, my approach to healing is carefully focused on the needs of each individual. This includes moving away from the pathological model of medicine that has plagued the modern healthcare system and turning my attention instead to my patients' optimal health and wellbeing. Having been in practice since 1997, my extensive education and clinical practice has deeply informed my ability to effectively treat each patient.

I work with clients of all types using Chinese Medicine methods to maximize their health and increase quality of life. I enjoy working with the difficult problems such as skin, infertility, digestive disorders and chronic pain as well working to prevent health problems in the future.

My ideal client is motivated to improve their health but may feel overwhelmed by the complex world of nutrition. They could be juggling multiple chronic conditions, unique dietary needs, or weight management goals. They seek not only to alleviate symptoms but also to enhance their overall well-being. They desire personalized guidance to navigate their specific challenges, aiming for sustainable lifestyle changes. They value support in understanding how nutrition fits into their busy life, driven by the wish to feel empowered and confident in their food choices.

I want to help you figure out how to eat in a way that is healthy for you, and that's going to look a little different for everyone. A good nutrition plan should add value to your life, not take center stage.

With 38 years clinical experience, the spectrum of my professional nutrition services range from basic nutrition counseling/education for those who simply want to improve their diet & lifestyle, on up to therapeutic nutritional support for specific health conditions - everything from indigestion to cancer (see list of specialties below). A functional medicine nutrition approach seeks to identify & resolve the root cause. Professional nutrition services determine your personal health profile. One size does not fit all. Anyone can sell you vitamins, few can tell you precisely which nutrients best meet your actual, individual need.

Work with you every step of the way to meet your nutrition and performance goals. Whether you are looking to find ways to improve your eating habits, lose weight and build strength, or manage a chronic disease, I will take a personal and individualized approach to helping you clients reach your goals.

My approach to health begins with alignment through the laws of nature. Each of us manifests constitutional strengths and weaknesses that emerge during times of crisis. These opportunities present windows for understanding and change. I work well with acute illnesses as well as those that have a tenacious nature .......we all are our own 'book of wisdom' and I endeavor to help you interpret the pages.

If you're feeling like you're losing a longstanding battle with your body, you're not alone. Or perhaps your constant attempts to control food ends up feeling like food is controlling you and your life. Again, you are not alone. You do not have to live a life that is limited by food rules, even if they're in the name of health. You do not have to live in constant worry about what others will think of your body. You do not have to waste the majority of your precious mental and emotional capacity ruminating on food and your body. Because: you were born for great things.
