MEET The Doctor
Joanne Aponte, ND
As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with over 15 years of experience, I provide comprehensive natural health and wellness consultations for adults and children. My practice is centered on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms.
My integrative, whole-person approach combines clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, vitamin therapy, mind-body medicine, and diet and lifestyle counseling to help patients build resilience and achieve long-term vitality. I believe in thoughtfully integrating evidence-based natural treatments with conventional medical care, always guided by each patient's individual needs and best interests.
I take the time to truly listen and understand your health story—because you're the expert on your own body. Through detailed health histories and functional laboratory evaluation, we'll investigate to uncover what's going on beneath the surface and create a personalized wellness plan that meets your unique needs.
I am passionate about empowering patients to utilize food as medicine, implement sustainable lifestyle practices, and develop effective stress management techniques that can fit into your real life. I believe in partnership—we're in this together, and I'll collaborate with your other healthcare providers whenever that team approach serves you best.
I graduated with honors from Southwest University of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences) and maintain my license in Wisconsin. I am committed to bringing the best care possible and advancing my clinical expertise by regularly participating in continuing education in women's hormones, digestive disorders, and children's health. I have completed specialized training in digestive disorders with gastroenterology specialist Megan Taylor, ND, and continue to participate in her mentorship group where we collaborate on patient cases.
I am a mother of two daughters (and one dog). In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors in nature, and working in my garden.
