The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. Thomas A. Edison

LIVING HEALTHFULLY IS THE ONLY WAY TO CREATE HEALTH

2012 is Your Year to Create
Vitality, Energy and Abundant Health!

Welcome to the website of Dr. Connie Sanchez, Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.). 

My expertise is in nutritional & lifestyle medicine,fitness, and fasting. I work with all people, from those who are healthy and are seeking ways to optimize and maintain their health; to those suffering from chronic illness and disease such as type-2 diabetes, obesity, cardio-vascular disease, cancer, autoimmune and thyroid disorders. I have been named a top thyroid doc in Colorado on Mary Shoman's website.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

My expertise is in nutritional & lifestyle medicine, fitness, and fasting or detoxification. I work with all people, from those who are healthy and who are seeking ways to optimize and maintain their health; to those who are caught in the web of chronic illness and disease.

I help people navigate their way back to health by empowering them with the tools they need in order to do so. I work with people who have Thyroid Disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's and Grave's Disease), people who are interested in cancer support and/or prevention, Type-2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Obesity & Weight Loss, and Autoimmunity (RA, MS, Lupus, Diabetes type-1, etc).

Read My Blog (left hand side)for my personal story of my road back to health.

I have the secret to health....(I bet you've heard that one before), but, the truth is - so do you! That secret power is in each and every one of us, we just have to step out of the way and provide the correct environment in order for the body to heal and thrive. My passion and joy comes from teaching people how they can create the health they want and deserve so that they can LIVE LIFE to the fullest!

If you are willing to change your food instead of taking a pill or a supplement then I can help you achieve your goals. The only way to create health is by living healthfully (we just need to understand what that really means).

Health does not come in a pill, a potion, an herb, or even a superfood -- It comes by living and eating healthfully, living in tune with our natural environment!

Most of us believe we know what a "healthy" diet looks like and we may even think we are consuming one. However, what we have learned from our doctors, our nutritionists, our teachers, the media, our freinds and family is very WRONG and it is killing us.

What if you found out that a food being touted as "fat free" was really 100% fat?
Would that make you mad?

I teach patients the principles of Lifestyle Medicine and a optimal diet that is based on the Life Science of Natural Hygiene, utilizing the body's innate power to heal itself when given the right environmental and nutritional conditions.

Conditions such as clean water, sunshine, clean fresh air, whole food plant-based nutrition, appropriate sleep/rest, periodic fasting, stress management, mind-body medicine,and exercise/movement. These are the basic foundations for your comprehensive health plan.

I am a graduate of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, OR and hold a license in Washington State (Colorado does not license N.D.'s).

I am a member of the National Health Association/American Natural Hygiene Society, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (NCLM), the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), and am certified as a Nutritonal Education Trainer (NET) for Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Nutritional Excellence Program.

I've been trained by a doctor I truly admire and respect, Dr. John McDougall. I can teach and help support you on Dr. McDougall's starch-based diet. Be sure to check out Dr. McDougall's new book, "The Starch Solution", set for release in March 2012.

Additionally, I am certified as a CHIP instructor for the Coronary Health Improvement Project. The Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP) is an affordable, lifestyle enrichment program designed to reduce disease risk factors through the adoption of better health habits and appropriate lifestyle modifications. The goal is to lower blood cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels by reducing excess weight, lowering high blood pressure, enhancing daily exercise, improving dietary choices, and eliminating smoking, thus aiding in preventing and reversing disease. Form more information on CHIP in your workplace or community please contact me.

I am also the local chapter leader for EarthSave Colorado, a non-profit that promotes eating for the health of all beings on our planet and the environment.

I was a frequent guest host for the former radio wellness program, The Wellness Forum , which was heard each Saturday afternoon on 630 KHOW in 2004. I am a nutrition instructor for the Colorado School of Healing Arts. I also work with Whole Foods Market in Belmar facilitating their Heath Starts Here and the Engine-2 Diet Challenge Programs.

I am certified as a Professional Cancer Coach through the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches (NAPCC). The association's primary responsibility is to unite professionally trained cancer coaches with men and women who want an evidence-based cancer prevention or recovery program. NAPCC's cancer coaches are registered and licensed health care professionals (R.N.'s, Psychologists, Registered Nutritionists, Naturopathic Doctors, Pharmacists, etc.) who are educated and experienced in both conventional and holistic cancer medicine.

I have also earned a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition.This course was designed and taught by Cornell University professor emeritus, T. Colin Campbell, PhD, author of The China Study.

I am on the faculty of Metropolitan State College of Denver as a part-time, affiliate professor in the Health Professions Department/Integrative Therapeutic Practices (ITP) and a Professor of Nutrition for Community College of Denver.

My professional background in fitness, personal training, plant-based nutrition, natural hygiene, fasting, and Naturopathic Medicine uniquely blends these modalities to offer you the most comprehensive health program available.
