About Us- Dr. Greenberg Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Julie Greenberg, ND
Dr. Greenberg is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Registered Herbalist RH(AHG) who specializes in integrative dermatology. She is passionate about natural skin care and believes that many of today’s chronic skin diseases can be healed by using evidence-based alternative treatments.
Dr. Greenberg’s health journey took her from a career in business to becoming a health care warrior. She received a BA in Economics from Northwestern University and an MBA from Stanford University and had a successful career in finance. But a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism made her rethink everything she knew about health. A leading endocrinologist wrote her a prescription and told her that there was nothing more they could do for her.
So, Dr. Greenberg got to work researching. She learned that women put an average of 125 chemicals on their skin every day through personal care products, and that many of these chemicals are endocrine disrupters and toxins. She started studying and making her own skin care products and saw the healing power of herbs and plants first hand. She decided to dedicate her life to her passion, and attended Bastyr’s four-year naturopathic medical school. While there she received advanced clinical training with leading experts in dermatology at the University of Washington Medical School and Seattle Children’s Hospital. Dr. Greenberg practices functional medicine and is an expert herbalist. She is dedicated to using science-based research to find better solutions for our skin care diseases.

What is Naturopathic Medicine?
If you are already familiar with Integrative Medicine or Functional Medicine, then you already have a sense of what Naturopathic Medicine is. If not, integrative medicine and functional medicine are programs and ways of practicing more holistic natural-based medicine, but training is done after graduating from conventional medical school where the emphasis is on pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Naturopathic doctors (NDs) attend four-year accredited medical schools with rigorous scientific and clinical training that is dedicated to holistic medicine. NDs graduate from Bastyr’s medical program having extensively studied conventional treatments (pharmaceuticals) as well as complementary and alternative modalities (nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, hydrotherapy). They are guided by the six principles of naturopathic medicine and the therapeutic order (the order in which we look at which treatments and therapies we will use to heal a patient).
The six principles of naturopathic medicine
1 The healing power of nature - trust in the body’s ability to heal itself
2 Identify and treat the cause - don’t just treat symptoms, find the root cause
3 First do no harm - use the least toxic and most natural treatments possible
4 Doctor as teacher - teach your patients about how to take control of their health
5 Treat the whole person - the body is interconnected and disease is not sequestered in one part of the body, therefore whole body must be treated
6 Prevention - disease prevention is a primary goal
