Page 1 of 2 Biography of Dr. ZMy family nick-named me “Dr. Z” due to my passion for natural medicine and health since early childhood, I’ve practiced natural medicine along with psychotherapy professionally for 18 years. I have lived all over the United States and grew up in Minnesota where I’m currently residing until I have completed my nursing program. I’m married and have 3 grown children that also live a healthy lifestyle. My favorite hobby is Latin dancing and I perform whenever I get the chance. In the past three years I have been working with a variety of professional athletes and musicians stretching them to success with a new resistance stretching method. Treating adults and children who are chronically ill has allowed me invaluable hands on clinical experience. Early in my career I realized a trend that was developing where natural care practitioners were using nutrients in a similar manner as western medicine used prescriptions. My concern was and still is that this creates further imbalances in the body and greatly stresses the adrenals. While I use nutrients therapeutically my core belief is that Food is Medicine and ONLY food combined with exercise will restore and maintain vibrant health. Therefore, I have a strong clinical emphasis on developing eating habits and patterns that will create the healthiest life possible and focus on exercise routines and habits that you will enjoy doing. It brings me great personal joy to assist people in regaining their health in ways they never thought possible. Your health is my passion and I look forward to creating a powerful working relationship with you soon! Blessings, “Dr. Z”Nicole Zivalich, ND |
