About Dr. Katherine Carvlin

With a deep understanding of how environmental factors shape our health, Dr. Carvlin works with her patients to identify and address the root causes of their chronic conditions. She is passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their health through a personalized and holistic approach that integrates naturopathic medicine with environmental science.
Passion for Environmental Medicine
Dr. Carvlin believes that our environment—what we breathe, eat, and drink—has a profound impact on our well-being. Specializing in environmental medicine, she helps patients navigate complex chronic illnesses that arise from environmental exposures. By uncovering how lifestyle factors, such as chemical toxins and pollutants, contribute to symptoms like fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions, she guides patients to lasting improvements.
Holistic and Comprehensive Care
Dr. Carvlin’s approach is holistic, combining natural therapies with evidence-based strategies. She works closely with patients to develop tailored treatment plans that incorporate diet, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapeutic techniques. Her goal is to empower patients with the tools they need to achieve optimal health and restore balance to their bodies.
Expertise in Environmental Illness
With expertise in environmental illness, Dr. Carvlin focuses on conditions such as mold toxicity, heavy metal exposure, chemical sensitivities, and occupational health concerns. She helps patients understand the connections between their symptoms and environmental factors, addressing the underlying causes through personalized treatments that promote detoxification and resilience. By eliminating or reducing harmful exposures, she enables her patients to heal from conditions that conventional treatments have not been able to address.
Nutrition and Digestive Health
Dr. Carvlin emphasizes the importance of nutrition in healing, knowing that a balanced diet is a key component of overall health. With a Master’s in Holistic Nutrition, she tailors nutrition plans to support patients in their health journey, addressing issues like digestive complaints, weight management, and metabolic imbalances. Her approach to nutrition focuses on sustainable changes, offering patients the tools and support to make lasting improvements.
Visceral Manipulation for Better Health
A trained practitioner of visceral manipulation, Dr. Carvlin uses this gentle, hands-on technique to improve the function of internal organs and connective tissues. This treatment helps with musculoskeletal pain, digestive issues, and overall body mobility. Visceral manipulation is a valuable tool in her comprehensive approach to wellness, aiding patients in their recovery from trauma, infections, or surgeries.
Intravenous (IV) Therapy for Nutritional Support
Dr. Carvlin uses IV therapy to provide patients with direct, high-dose nutrients when oral supplementation is not effective or feasible. This method is particularly beneficial for those with chronic fatigue, heavy metal toxicity, autoimmune diseases, or digestive absorption issues. IV therapy helps patients receive the vital nutrients they need for optimal health and healing.
