Providing Holistic Healthcare Solutions
Christy Kithil has been practicing as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2013. She works at New Mexico Naturopathic in serving patients from Santa Fe and surrounding areas. Her practice is centered around Primary Care, Community Health, and healthcare accessibility. She is a compassionate listener who offers treatment plans including natural medicine and conventional medical approaches tailored to the unique needs and desires of each individual patient.
Dr. Christy utilizes treatments including herbs, homeopathy, nutritional supplements, and pharmaceuticals. She strives to make Naturopathic Medicine a practical, accessible, and regular part of routine healthcare.
Naturopathic medicine is a paradigm of healthcare guided by the following principles:
Wherever possible, start with the least invasive and most supportive treatments.
The body and nature have an innate ability to return to a healthy state.
Identify obstacles to health and work toward removing them to help the body restore homeostasis.
Provide patients with the knowledge to make informed decisions about achieving their health goals, utilizing their own intuition and personal experience.
Each patient has their own set of physical, emotional, spiritual, hereditary, and social dynamics contributing to their health- treatments are tailored to each individual’s unique position in life.
The foundation of health is rooted in daily choices that can promote health and prevent disease processes.
Naturopathic Primary Care is the application of the above principles to the standard practice of conventional routine and acute healthcare. Primary care providers are well-versed in annual preventative health screening exams as well as managing acute and chronic medical conditions. Primary care providers play a central role in helping patients navigate all their health needs.
Naturopathic doctors are trained to manage acute and chronic health conditions with herbs, homeopathy, and nutritional supplements, either as a standalone treatment, or in conjunction with conventional therapies. Naturopathic therapies can build a strong foundation of health and help reduce the need for medications or mitigate side effects in the treatment of chronic health conditions.
Working as a Naturopathic Primary Care Provider requires blending knowledge from both the alternative and conventional medical worlds while adhering to Naturopathic principles and supporting each individual patient on their health journey.
Dr. Christy currently accepts insurance and cash payments for services. She will work for you as your Primary Care Provider, or as a Naturopathic Specialist (if you already have a Primary Care Provider). Please contact New Mexico Naturopathic to inquire about insurance coverage for Dr. Christy’s services.
The road to Naturopathic licensure in New Mexico, as well as insurance coverage for Naturopaths, is being paved day by day through the efforts of individual Naturopaths and the New Mexico Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
