Meet Dr. Kathrine Alsop, ND, MS
My path to naturopathic medicine began with my own search for answers.
As a teenager, I was constantly unwell—stomach problems, chronic joint pain, fatigue, nausea, and excruciating menstrual cramps that would leave me on the bathroom floor. I fainted often. I missed school. I never felt like myself. Despite years of appointments, tests, and prescriptions, no one could explain why I felt so awful.
Eventually, I found my way to naturopathic medicine, and everything started to make sense. Over time, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Endometriosis. I overhauled my diet, supported my hormones with botanical medicine, and finally started to feel human again.
But healing isn’t linear. In 2017, at the healthiest point I had ever been, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It was a difficult moment—but not a surprising one, given my history and family background. I knew what I needed to do: face it head-on, again. Two surgeries, a renewed focus on nutrition, and deeper support for my immune system followed.
Today, I’m grateful to say I’m cancer-free—and stronger for it.
These experiences have shaped how I care for my clients. I know what it’s like to feel dismissed, and what it feels like to finally be heard. I also know the power of a clear plan, and the difference it makes to have someone by your side who understands the bigger picture.
At Alsop Naturopathic Wellness, my mission is to help you uncover the root causes of your symptoms, understand your body more deeply, and build a foundation for long-term wellness.
You can’t change your genetics or your past, but you can take charge of your health moving forward.
I’m here to help you do that—with science-based tools, compassionate care, and support every step of the way.
