Dr. Ben’s Journey
Meet Dr. Ben
Cook. Nature lover.
#1
The healing power of nature
Strong early interests in nutrition and cooking, health and wellness, spirituality, songwriting, literature, and human beings led him to an undergraduate degree in linguistics from the University of Washington, a stint as a head cook at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and being flown over to England in his early twenties to open up for a well-known former rock band lead-singer at a secret pop-up show.
Additionally, Ben’s early upbringing instilled in him a particular appreciation for the finer points of pumping water by hand.

Naturopathic doctors are the world’s trained experts in natural medicine.
Dr. Ben employs natural therapeutics and a holistic approach to treatment. Tailoring the treatment plan to the needs of each individual patient, his main modalities include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, and dietary food intolerance testing. Dr. Ben treats everything from gastrointestinal and auto-immune conditions, to arthritis, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and many other common conditions.
#3
Mind-body medicine
Inspired, he returned to school to become a naturopathic doctor. His experience with naturopathy began with human-centric curiosity, and with a strong awareness of the healing journey, upon which he embarked himself. Dr. Ben healed himself of two life-long chronic diseases. Now, as a practicing doctor, he makes sure to begin every patient’s journey by listening to their stories and creating a safe place for them to express themselves.
