Description
Dr. Maly Strietzel is a registered Naturopathic Doctor on a mission to create a safer, healthier, and more equitable world for all, especially women and children. Her work within the current health system opened her eyes to its lack of preventative medicine and health promotion. In response, she became a public health major at Fort Lewis College. During this time, Dr. Maly was introduced to Naturopathic Medicine through her father-in law and holistic dentist, Dr. Dale Strietzel. Moved by the Naturopathic philosophy and its focus on integrative perspectives in health, Dr. Maly applied and was accepted to Southwest College of Natuoprathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ.
During her time in Naturopathic Medical School, Dr. Maly studied under some of the top doctors in the field of functional neuroendocrinology and gastroenterology, as well as naturopathic pediatrics. Her passion for the underserved and to increase access to quality healthcare also led her to volunteer with Naturopaths Without Borders in Puerto Penansco, Mexico.
Dr. Maly takes an integralist approach, focusing on the individual and the collective, the inner and the outer, as well as human and non-human concerns. She is very interested in the human-nature relationship, especially the intersection between human health and the health of our planet. For example, the increase in toxins found in many of our foods and household products is not only causing devastation to the earth but also disrupting the human microbiome and hormonal regulation.
Like Dr. Hailee Dover, she followed her heart and returned to Durango with her husband, two sons, and their sweet lab Enzo. When not seeing patients, Dr. Maly enjoys date nights, walks, hosting friends in her home, perusing one of the natural health foods stores in Durango, or having a great cup of coffee.
