Empowering Idaho Through Whole-Person Healthcare Since 1952
Welcome to the Naturopathic Physicians Association of Idaho — a coalition of highly trained healthcare professionals committed to advancing natural medicine, empowering patients, and redefining what healthcare can be.
We believe in going beyond symptom management.
We treat the whole person — blending the best of Western medicine with the time-tested wisdom of naturopathic and integrative practices.
Let’s Go Beyond
NPAI and its members are here to empower you and welcome you to a new kind of healthcare — one that honors your body’s natural ability to heal.
Our physicians use a balanced, science-informed approach that may include:
- Clinical diagnosis & lab testing
- Nutrition & lifestyle medicine
- Botanical & homeopathic therapies
- Mindfulness and movement
- And when appropriate, pharmaceutical support
Yes — we can be your Primary Care Provider.
Who We Are
Established in 1952, the NPAI represents a diverse group of licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) and dual-trained professionals (including MDs, DOs, DCs, NP-Cs, and DDSs) who are deeply committed to restoring and protecting the health of Idahoans.
Together, we’ve cared for communities across Idaho — often regardless of a patient’s ability to pay — and have helped thousands reclaim their health through compassionate, evidence-informed, root-cause medicine.
Our Mission
To promote, protect, and advance the practice of naturopathic medicine in Idaho.
We advocate for access, licensure, and education — so that every Idahoan can choose holistic, effective healthcare that treats the whole person.
