Catherine Zelner, M.D. interest in alternative and integrative approaches to healing led her to studying nutrition and nutrition-based therapies.  For the past 15 years, her practice has focused on prevention of disease, by restoring natural balances within the body and supporting the body’s inherent ability to heal. Her “whole person” care also addresses the root causes of illness and identification of barriers to good health such as environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies and underlying viruses and bacterial infections.  She focuses on supporting healthy lifestyle habits, improving diet, exercise, sleep patterns and managing stress, as these factors play an integral role in healing and maintaining optimal health for each patient.

Dr. Zelner also utilizes comprehensive hormone and metabolic studies, including saliva, urine and blood tests, to evaluate body system imbalances. Dr. Zelner commonly prescribes natural or “bio-identical” hormones (to treat endocrine disorders) and herbal and nutrient supplements, as she designs an individualized treatment plan to fit each person.
