Dr. SAMANTHA JOHNSON

Hello and welcome to SIBO Diet Recipes. My name is Samantha Wellspring N.D. and I am the author and creator of this website and blog. I graduated from National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, where I earned a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine.

If you are not familiar with naturopathy, let me tell you about it. Naturopaths are board certified primary care physicians that specialize in natural medicine. In addition to learning everything a traditional doctor learns (including pharmacology) we are also trained in botanical medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy and physical medicine manipulation techniques. Our focus is on preventative health care and treating the whole person. We strive to uncover to the root cause of our patients’ disease. Since we know that we literally are what we eat, we acknowledge that what we eat is so very important. Much of the work we do as naturopathic physicians is to retrain patients how to eat in a way that supports health and well being since the nutrients taken into our bodies are the fuel for every function in the body.
