Dr. KARIN DUNCAN

Dr. Karin is a board-certified Naturopathic physician, graduating from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA. Originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Karin was born and raised on a sustainable homestead, and without modern amenities, learned how to provide and survive through gardening, hunting, and fishing, which created a lifelong relationship and deep respect with nature. She received her undergraduate degree in biomedical science from Grand Valley State University, where she excelled as a student-athlete. After her collegiate experience and witnessing the traumatic unfolding of 9/11, Karin was called to serve in the military as a Naval aviator and deployed to Afghanistan in support of OEF in 2010.

Dr. Karin’s practice is focused in integrative neurology, and embraces a philosophy centered around forming and maintaining resilience in health. She believes that any path to wellness is the correct one, and by using the tools we instinctively possess combined with the art and science of medicine, we can uncover the deeper root of disease and work on an individual basis to improve the state of health. She is deeply interested in each person’s origin story, their life experience, and their dreams and goals, and will commit to stimulate and empower her patients along their journey of wellbeing.

As a peer-reviewed published author, Dr. Karin focuses personal research on the neuroimmunology of resilience and enjoys serving as a liaison between her education and clinical practice. Dr. Karin’s personal experience caring for her father has grown into a professional passion to provide individualized care for caregivers, feeling strongly that they are the core tenant of health in their communities and homes, and often speaks with support groups in her local area.
