Steve Nenninger, ND
Dr. Nenninger's practice prioritizes individualized care over standardized treatment programs, pre-set visits, or private-label supplements, believing that personalized approaches lead to better results. Dr. Nenninger turned to naturopathic medicine after a personal health struggle, rejecting conventional treatments that failed him.

The 6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine celebrates the healing power of nature. Naturopathic medicine is dedicated to the study and celebration of nature's healing powers. It is as old as healing itself and as new as today's medical breakthroughs. It is a dynamic philosophy as well as a profession that recognizes the interconnection and the interdependence of all living things. It utilizes the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies to treat illness and to promote wellness by viewing the body as an integrated whole (AANMC).
Naturopathic medicine honors the body's innate wisdom to heal. Rather than being defined by methods or modalities, naturopathic medicine is defined by 6 principles.
Naturopathic doctors practice these six fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine:
The Healing Power of Nature
Trust in the body's inherent wisdom to heal itself.
Identify and Treat the Causes
Look beyond the symptoms to the underlying cause.
First Do No Harm
Utilize the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies.
Doctor as Teacher
Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health.
Treat the Whole Person
View the body as an integrated whole in all its physical and spiritual dimensions.
Prevention
Focus on overall health, wellness, and disease prevention.
