Biography of Dr. Iverson & Your Initial Visit:

Dr. Andrew Iverson graduated an honor student and ASB president from Yelm High School in Yelm, Washington. He attended the University of Washington and earned his Bachelors degree in Physiological Psychology (how the brain “makes the body work”) and Pre-Medicine. During college he was introduced to Naturopathic Medicine by his mentor where he spent from age 19 through 24 side by side with his teacher and learned biochemical testing, iridology, and clinical patient interaction. Dr. Iverson proceeded to acquire more education in the field of herbology as he received his Masters in Medical Botany from the School of Natural Healing in Provo, Utah. A final four years of doctoral education were attained in Portland, Oregon at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine where he received the title Naturopathic Physician.

Dr. Iverson’s medical interests and expertise are in the fields of nutritional medicine, biochemical and pH testing, and detoxification through fasting and botanical medicine. He has traveled extensively learning alternative medical practices in Australia, Europe, South and Central America and applies them to his current practice in the United States. After graduating, Dr. Iverson continued his education through an internship residency at True North water-only fasting retreat in Napa Valley, California where he gained advanced knowledge of fasting and detoxification. His internship residency was completed in Honduras where he worked with the Catholic Medical Missionaries and saw upwards of seventy patients per day in economically disadvantaged areas suffering from a wide range of wasting and tropical diseases.

Your initial appointment will consist of a detailed medical history in conjunction with your personal metabolic questionnaire and urine/saliva biochemical nutrition testing totaling 50 separate tests. This information will allow Dr. Iverson to precisely determine your nutritional needs objectively without guessing. In addition, the doctor will perform a nutritional physical exam, tongue reading, and iridology reading to further determine the functional state of your body’s organs for an even more concise understanding of your unique metabolic profile. With this very important information, Dr. Iverson will formulate a specific diet regime and a specific nutritional and/or botanical supplementation protocol to help you regain an optimal state of health. He may also suggest a cellular and tissue detoxification through fasting, colonics, and hydrotherapy. You can expect a program that is exclusively designed for you, an individual, your needs specific and unique to any other person. Whatever the recommendation you can be assured that it will be the most important prescription to bring your current chemistry into a state of homeostasis and optimal health!
