A Letter from the UANP President

Dear Fellow Utahns,

On behalf of the Utah Association of Naturopathic Physicians, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our official website. I am confident this website will be a trusted resource as you explore the many ways naturopathic physicians can support your health and wellness journey.

Whether you are seeking support for new or chronic health conditions, preventive care, or simply looking to live a more vibrant and balanced life, naturopathic medicine offers a comprehensive and compassionate approach to healing.

Naturopathic medicine is rooted in time-honored principles that emphasize treating the whole person, addressing the root causes of illness, and supporting the body’s innate ability to heal. Naturopathic doctors (NDs, NMDs) take the time to listen, to understand your unique health story, and to work in partnership with you to develop personalized treatment plans. Our goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to help you thrive—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

As UANP President, I would like to express my gratitude to the patients who trust naturopathic physicians to support their healthcare needs. I understand you have countless choices in the healthcare system, and I am so glad you have chosen a naturopathic physician to help you thrive!

I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to the Utah legislators, community leaders, advocates and fellow healthcare professionals who have championed the advancement of naturopathic medicine in Utah. Your support is vital to ensure our practitioners can continue to provide safe, quality integrative healthcare to patients in Utah.

Please explore our website to learn more about naturopathic care, connect with licensed NDs in your area, and discover how this group of talented and caring naturopathic physicians can benefit you and your loved ones.

Thank you for your interest in naturopathic medicine. Let’s make Utah healthy together!

Daniel Reed, ND

UANP Board President
