Are You Ready To:

  • find the cause of your discomfort, instead of just treating symptoms?                                                 

  • talk with a doctor who is dedicated to listening and working together to find answers, instead of telling you that "everything is normal" even when you know that you aren't feeling well?                                                                      

  • be treated as a whole person, addressing all areas of your being: emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physically?                                                                              

  • receive a treatment plan consisting of natural, non-invasive, non-toxic therapies?                                                                               

  •  not only avoid disease and sickness, but also enjoy your life?                                                  

      Then you're ready for a California-licensed primary care naturopathic medical doctor/detective that will find the cause of your dis-ease and will prescribe evidence-based alternative natural therapies and lifestyle changes.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. Naturopathic physicians craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to not only treat disease, but to also restore health.

Powerful Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

While bioidentical hormones (hormones biochemically identical to those made in the body), are commonly prescribed at the Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, it is always done in light of the powerful principles of naturopathic medicine:
  1. First do no harm
    Use the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies first
  2.  Identify and treat the underlying causes of illness and remove the obstacles to cure rather than merely treating symptoms.
  3. Use the healing power of nature.
  4. Treat the whole person.
  5. Prevent when possible.
  6. Doctor is a teacher.


“When I first came in to see the alternative medicine Dr. Godby, I was a diabetic with high blood pressure, severe kidney issues and congestive heart failure.  My doctor had told me that 30% of my heart was damaged permanently.  I am now happy to report that, after an echocardiogram, my heart is "healed and normal."

~ Judith Wright, Sacramento
