We Are a Raleigh Functional / Precision Medicine Practice: Diagnosing and Naturally Treating People with Low-Thyroid (Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism), GERD, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), SIBO/SIFO & Female-Hormone Issues

Located in North Raleigh, Natural Healthcare & Diagnostics opened in 1996 and was one of the first holistic, alternative-treatment medical practices in the Triangle area. A Functional Medicine doctor with over 25 years of experience in Raleigh, Dr. Carrick uses natural treatment and a personalized approach.

Often, general lab tests fail to explain symptoms. For instance, there are at least 23 places in the body where thyroid function may be disrupted. Thorough and careful, Dr. Carrick discovers what others miss.

 Another surprise is that 80% of our immune system is in the GI tract. A healthy gut is essential for a clear mind and a strong body. In treating patients with food allergies, for instance, Dr. Carrick knows that a first step is to heal the GI tract. A Functional / Precision Medicine approach is cost-effective in determining the true cause of a condition. Individual care and an emphasis on diet, lifestyle and natural treatment does transform lives. 

 

I had been very ill for many years and had been to every kind of doctor. Dr. Carrick helped me gain a higher level of function where no one else could. . . . She is a brilliant, caring, and gifted healthcare professional who has made a big difference in my life.*    –DP, Raleigh

Be Well and Stay Well
Dr. Carrick’s goal is to help patients be genuinely well and stay well— patients who didn’t get better with traditional medical care. Our unique care includes in-office diagnostics and in-depth lab tests available, if needed. Also, if someone ordered any direct-to-consumer test before becoming a patient, Dr. Carrick can interpret those tests—together with any blood tests and a patient’s health story—and advise about next steps.
