Weight Inclusive Health Care for All
THE FAT NATUROPATH
DeAun Nelson, ND
I believe you deserve support that recognizes both your struggles and their strengths.
My role as your naturopathic doctor is to support you and help you navigate your very real complex health concerns with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
Health looks different for each of us. Some aspects of our health are within our influence. Others are not.
Together, we’ll focus on what can be supported, strengthened, and nourished, while honoring the realities you live with every day.
My Philosophy:
Health looks different for each of us. While we can influence of some aspects of our health, there are things that affect our health over which we have little to no influence.
It is my goal to help my patients mitigate the things we cannot influence as much as possible and highlight each person’s individual strengths and abilities. Every single person will experience disease and disability at some point in their lives, especially as we live longer. However, with support, we can live our best lives.
My commitment to you includes:
Supporting you when you interact with other parts of the medical system
Understanding that bad experiences with healthcare can create real anxiety — and meeting you where you are
Working to educate other providers and contribute to systemic change
Acknowledging the real health impacts of stress, stigma, and oppression
Collaborating with you to reach your goals and resist the pressures that work against your wellbeing
