Integrative Oncology Care, Built Around the Whole Patient
A concierge naturopathic practice for patients managing a cancer diagnosis who need more than a fifteen-minute visit — with neural therapy, IV medicine, and whole-person primary care available as part
Two Physicians. One Philosophy.
Our goal is to understand what is happening across the whole system and build care around you.
One philosophy, two clinical directions, grounded in the same evidence base.
Dr. Shanah, ND
Focuses on integrative oncology and complex chronic conditions, including autoimmune disease, EDS, POTS, MCAS, environmental illness, neurodegenerative disease, mold toxicity, and chronic gut and endocrine dysfunction.
Dr. Kristy Appelhans, ND, MSRA, MBA
Focuses on diet and supplement use, women's wellness, gut and digestive health, fitness and weight management, and metabolic balance. She brings 20 years of clinical experience, along with a corporate career evaluating peer-reviewed evidence and shaping patient safety strategies across 95 countries.
Who We Serve
Phoenix Natural Medicine serves patients looking for a deeper, more connected approach to their health. Some patients come to the practice following a cancer diagnosis. Others come with complex chronic or autoimmune conditions, persistent symptoms, or health concerns that have not been fully addressed through a conventional approach.
Because the body's systems are connected, care does not have to remain limited to a single diagnosis. The practice operates through a concierge model. Insurance is used where applicable, while the concierge fee supports a more focused model of care designed around the individual patient rather than volume.
Patients from outside these states are welcome to travel for in-person care with Dr. Shanah. For those who can't, a separate advisory and advocacy service is available.

Philosophy
" Care here is evidence-informed, root-cause, and personalized — built for patients who've already tried the standard path and want a physician who looks deeper. It's the same rigor referring physicians and wealth advisors trust when they send their own patients and clients our way."
