Alli Erdahl, ND

I am a nerd who loves to learn about every way to improve health. I am happiest when I am trying out a new recipe that uses an absurd number of vegetables. I also love lifting weights, practicing yoga, paddleboarding, reading, snuggling my dog and crushing my spouse at board games. I am a blessed to be able to spend Monday-Friday hanging out with my son while practicing medicine on Saturdays.

I think that naturopathic medicine chose me. I was frequently ill as a child with debilitating heartburn starting at age 12. I relied heavily on Zantac and was told there was nothing else I could do. In college, I learned more about nutrition, changed my diet and I have not needed Zantac since. After college, I was a personal trainer for a few months and one of my clients was a naturopathic doctor. After learning about her approach to medicine, I quickly applied to ND school and have been in love with naturopathic medicine since.

I view each patient’s health like an onion. There are many layers that contribute to health issues. Over time, we can work together to discover the root causes of illness and to increase the body’s ability to heal itself.
