I’m Dr. Orna Izakson and my lifelong mission has been to give people to empower people with knowledge for educated action. As a licensed naturopathic physician and registered herbalist, I want to help you understand how bodies work so you can take the best care of yours.

After more than a decade working as an award-winning science and environmental journalist, I shifted my focus to medicine. The central epiphany powering this change is that medicine is not something that just lives in a doctor’s office. Medicine is all around us: in our kitchens, our houses, our gardens and the natural spaces around us.

The base of my work connects understanding of systems – human physiology, environmental ecology — with a full spectrum of plant medicines that can improve our health. Whether we’re talking about trees to mitigate poor air quality and climate change, or vegetables, herbal medicines and flower essences that can change an individual‘s health, mind and life.

Want to pick my mind? I’ve got many ways for you to do so. Grab my free toolkits and cheat sheets. Stay in touch with my VIP email list. Catch me live at online events, or at conferences around the country. Looking for one-on-one healthcare? I have appointments available for patients in Alaska and Oregon.

Whether you’re just getting started or a practitioner looking for more training in the subtle and profound uses of plant medicine, I’ve got something for you here.

Thank you for joining me. I’m delighted to be on this journey with you.
