Meet Dr. Emily Wolbers

First, let me warn you that I am a nerd, and I love food. My journey to become a doctor started with a passion for all things food-related. I loved learning about digestion, metabolism, biochemistry, and how the body responds to food. I ate it up!  When I learned that nearly 90% of chronic diseases are related to diet and lifestyle, and I thought, 'I have to help prevent this. I have to become a doctor.'

 

My practice focuses on gastrointestinal health, holistic nutrition, and a focus on the gut-brain connection. I prioritize a holistic approach to health care. There is a strong connection between the mind and the body, and I use this understanding to help patients realize optimal health. 

​

I earned my medical degree from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and have my Bachelor degree in dietetics from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. I use my background in nutrition and yoga to add Mind-Body Medicine & Food as Medicine into treatment plans. My main goal is to find the root cause of disease and prevent distressing symptoms from coming back in the future.

 

In my free time, I enjoy cooking but more especially baking, hand balancing, practicing and teaching yoga. I hold a E-RYT 500 ​yoga teacher certification and love teaching vinyasa classes, workshops, and yoga teacher trainings.
