The doctor you've been trying to find.
Naturopathic medicine for people who want more than a rushed visit
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. Raushanah Najeeullah, 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.
For patients seeking individualized physician care through pay-per-visit services or ongoing membership options. Concierge membership services are not billed to insurance, and membership is not a substitute for health insurance.
Care Access & Locations
Whether you are nearby, plan to travel for in-person care, or are exploring telehealth or advisory services, we can help you identify the appropriate starting point. Availability depends on your location, the physician, and the type of service. In-person care is available in Washington and California; please confirm the appropriate location and appointment options when booking.

Before Treatment
For patients preparing to begin treatment, and for those at elevated risk who want to get ahead of it. We use precision testing to understand your starting point and work to build your nutritional and physiological reserve, so you enter treatment as strong as possible. For patients preparing for cancer treatment, this support is delivered alongside your oncology team.
During Treatment
Targeted nutrition, IV and injection therapies, and homeopathic support, coordinated with your oncology team so nothing interferes with the treatment you are receiving. The goal is to help you tolerate treatment and stay as well as possible through it, alongside your oncology team.
After Treatment
Survivorship care for the long tail of treatment, lingering effects, rebuilding strength and resilience, and precision monitoring over time, alongside your oncology team—so recovery is something you are actively supported through, not left to manage alone.

Philosophy
"Phoenix Natural Medicine is rooted in the philosophy that naturopathic medicine treats the body as an interconnected, self-healing system rather than a collection of parts managed by separate specialists. Every treatment is chosen through that lens and grounded in evidence-based medicine. Conditions that conventional medicine considers unrelated are viewed instead as different expressions of the body's systems breaking down together."
