Dr. Andrea Partel
Dr. Andrea Partel is a Naturopathic Physician and Licensed Acupuncturist, providing integrative health care to adults and children. She has a focus in digestive complaints, auto-immune disease, diabetes, hormone imbalances, disease prevention, women's health and menopause. She sees patients for acute and chronic conditions and offers annual physical exams, including Paps, and employment/school physicals. Dr. Partel believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of disease, but recognizes that sometimes in the process, it is also necessary to relieve symptoms. While preferring the use of safe and effective natural therapies, Dr. Partel may prescribe pharmaceutical medications when necessary. Her philosophy is to listen, educate, and work with patients to find a treatment path that is right for them.
Dr. Partel earned her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine and Masters in Acupuncture in 2009 from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. She has spent time in Shanghai, China pursuing additional acupuncture training at various public hospitals. She completed a two-year residency in naturopathic medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon and maintains a role at NCNM as Adjunct Faculty, supervising students in their clinical training.

Exercise Benefits
Weight bearing exercise tears down muscle so it can rebuild and become stronger. Weight lifting also builds bone, thereby offering a form of protection against osteoporosis.
Brisk movement, also known as aerobic exercise, gets the heart pumping, which aids circulation and keeps the body functioning at a healthy level.
The increased breathing rate that occurs with most exercise enhances the performance of your cells. They take in nutrients and expel toxins at a faster rate, improving their performance and subsequently your health.
Both brisk movement and weight lifting burn off calories, reducing weight and restoring it to its optimum level.
Stretching keeps your muscles flexible so you lower the risk of pulling or tearing them while performing an unusual movement.
The increased oxygen to your brain helps you stay focused and think more clearly, as well as helping reverse emotional conditions like anxiety and depression. The endorphins your body releases during exercises also help balance your emotional state.
