The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. Thomas A. Edison
Welcome to the website of Dr. Connie Sanchez, Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.).
My expertise is in nutritional & lifestyle medicine,fitness, and fasting. I work with all people, from those who are healthy and are seeking ways to optimize and maintain their health; to those suffering from chronic illness and disease such as type-2 diabetes, obesity, cardio-vascular disease, cancer, autoimmune and thyroid disorders. I have been named a top thyroid doc in Colorado on Mary Shoman's website.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
My expertise is in nutritional & lifestyle medicine, fitness, and fasting or detoxification. I work with all people, from those who are healthy and who are seeking ways to optimize and maintain their health; to those who are caught in the web of chronic illness and disease.
Please Note: I will no longer be accepting new patients after June 8th, 2012, as I will be finishing my internship with the True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, California for the months of July and August.
I help people navigate their way back to health by empowering them with the tools they need in order to do so. I work with people who have Thyroid Disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's and Grave's Disease), people who are interested in cancer support and/or prevention, Type-2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Obesity & Weight Loss, and Autoimmunity (RA, MS, Lupus, Diabetes type-1, etc).
Read My Blog (left hand side)for my personal story of my road back to health.
I have the secret to health....(I bet you've heard that one before), but, the truth is - so do you! That secret power is in each and every one of us, we just have to step out of the way and provide the correct environment in order for the body to heal and thrive. My passion and joy comes from teaching people how they can create the health they want and deserve so that they can LIVE LIFE to the fullest!
If you are willing to change your food instead of taking a pill or a supplement then I can help you achieve your goals. The only way to create health is by living healthfully (we just need to understand what that really means).
Health does not come in a pill, a potion, an herb, or even a superfood -- It comes by living and eating healthfully, living in tune with our natural environment!
Most of us believe we know what a "healthy" diet looks like and we may even think we are consuming one. However, what we have learned from our doctors, our nutritionists, our teachers, the media, our freinds and family is very WRONG and it is killing us.
Jeff Novick, RD What if you found out that a food being touted as "fat free" was really 100% fat? Would that make you mad?
Conditions such as clean water, sunshine, clean fresh air, whole food plant-based nutrition, appropriate sleep/rest, periodic fasting, stress management, mind-body medicine,and exercise/movement. These are the basic foundations for your comprehensive health plan.
I've been trained by a doctor I truly admire and respect, Dr. John McDougall. I can teach and help support you on Dr. McDougall's starch-based diet.
Be sure to check out Dr. McDougall's new book, The Starch Solution, set for release on May 8th.

URGENT CALL to Sea Shepherd Supporters - Help Save Captain Watson from Extradition to Costa Rica!
In shocking news, German officials have decided to proceed with the extradition of Captain Watson to Costa Rica. Our last hope of saving Captain Watson from extradition is to convince German officials at the Ministry of Justice to step in and overturn their decision.
Show your support for Captain Watson by contacting Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, the Federal Minister of Justice in Berlin, Germany. Let her know that the warrant for Captain Watson's arrest is politically motivated and thus should be ignored by the German goverment. With international support we can set Captain Watson free, and keep him from the possibility of facing an unfair trial in Costa Rica.
Please contact: (Please be respectful in your communications)

Sample Letter:
Dear Ms Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger,
I was very concerned to hear that Germany has detained Sea Shepherd's Captain Paul Watson for possible extradition to Costa Rica. I understand that the warrant for Captain Watson's arrest is politically motivated and possibly due to an incident in which Sea Shepherd uncovered an illegal shark finning operation.
I support Sea Shepherd's efforts to monitor and publicise illegal fishing and whaling around the world and recognize that some illegal fishing operations try to use international law to shut down the Sea Shepherd operations.
I urge you to consider the valuable work Captain Watson and Sea Shepherd are undertaking globally to highlight the dangers to our oceans in considering this extradition request.
