Dr. DAVID M. NEWIRTH

I am a Naturopathic Doctor, trained and licensed as a primary care practitioner with the State of Alaska. My treatment goals are to promote health and wellness through natural, non-invasive approaches and I do not look at health as the “absence of disease” but rather as a promotion of optimal wellness.

I received a BS Natural Sciences from the University of Alaska Anchorage, followed by a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, an accredited 4-year medical school in Portland, Oregon. Prior to this education I was a professional chef and certified dietary manager and now have blended the two disciplines into the promotion of clinical nutrition as a critical role and cornerstone of health and wellness. As the sage Hippocrates stated over 2,000 years ago: “Let food be your medicine, let your medicine be your food”.

I use standard diagnostic tools such as lab work, X-rays, CT scans, and MRI’s, while also employing more specialized testing to include saliva and urine testing for neurotransmitter & hormone level assessment, and serum samples for food sensitivity testing and food allergy testing. I also offer non-pharmacological treatment for ADD/ADHD, anxiety, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I am also a certified practitioner of the Bowen Technique, a gentle form of physical medicine.
