About Sarah LoBisco, ND (Naturopathic Doctor)
Whether the goal is to lessen pain, find an alternative to pharmaceuticals, or improve your quality of life, Dr. LoBisco’s Naturopathic Medicine offers the compliment of the two prominent medical systems– conventional medicine and scientifically sound and safe natural therapies.
Dr. LoBisco has been in holistic healthcare for over 10 years. She has mentored with holistic practices throughout New York, Vermont, and Connecticut. In addition to her Naturopathic and Functional Medical training, Dr. LoBisco has extensive training in a variety of healing modalities, including therapeutic essential oils, whole food supplements, nutritional medicine, and mind-body therapies. She is a graduate of the accredited, four year post-graduate program in Naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. This program includes clinical rotations along with a demanding scientific curriculum comparable to conventional medical training. (For An Overview of LICENSED Naturopathic Medical Education, please click here).
Dr. LoBisco holds her license from the state of Vermont, as New York State does not currently recognize Naturopathic Doctors as primary care physicians. She is also certified in Applied Kinesiology and holds a BA in psychology from SUNY Geneseo. Recently, Dr. LoBisco received 37.25 American Medical Association Continuing Education Units through the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). The Applied Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice coursework is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for all physicians.
Due to her dedication and passion to her profession and integrative health care, Dr. LoBisco contributes as an item writer for the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE). She has also published several articles in the Naturopathic Doctor News and Review Digest (NDNR), a physician based journal, and is also a hired speaker on integrative medical topics for medical professionals.
Dr. LoBisco’s vision is to create a collaboration of health care professionals who focus on listening to their clients and working with them in order to facilitate wellness. She feels that personalized attention and access to one’s own doctor are important pieces of healing that are missing in modern medicine’s delivery sytem.
Dr. LoBisco currently has a private integrative medical consulting practice located in Ballston Spa, NY. Here, she incorporates Naturopathic, Functional, and Conventional medicine with her specialized training in essential oils, herbs, whole food supplements, mind-body medicine, and psychology to form an integrated approach to each individual client.

Excitement for Naturopathic Medicine: The RUN!
The RUNing team is two-thirds done The RUN! Both Jeremiah Godby and Jonas Ely are passing over 2,000 miles run today!! Just 37 days left until NYC! As a team, they have covered close to 7,000 miles on foot! The media coverage is picking up and most importantly, the American people are hungry for knowledge!
Our mission in inspiring and educating the American people how to get healthier is being accomplished day in and day out. Using naturopathic medicine as a tool, we are teaching people how to prevent chronic diseases such as: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and many other debilitating conditions! We are taking the steps to help reverse the healthcare crisis we are currently in, as more than 2/3 of the American people are overweight or obese!
“Naturopathic medicine transforms lives and tremendously benefits the people that know and experience these powerful, non-toxic systems of healing,” says Dr. Godby. “Unfortunately, only a tiny fraction of the American population is aware that this option of healing is available.” In an historic effort to bring the Naturopathic opportunity to the consciousness of all Americans, a 3,250 mile transcontinental run will explode across the nation—beginning in San Francisco , CA on July 17th, 2011, and ending in Bridgeport , CT on November 16th, 2011. Click here to find out how the Run advocated for Naturopathic Medicine.

THE CONNECTION OF A THIN BODY & BIG BRAIN!
Did you know what’s good for your brain is also good for your body? At least, according to Dr. Amen, MD. Dr. Amen is a psychiatrist who uses SPECT scans to visualize how the brain FUNCTIONS. In other words, he looks at the brain’s activity and its neural pathways, not just the structure of the brain. He has performed more than 50,000 scans, and uses various techniques which include lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, supplements, and medication, in order to assist and achieve balance in the brain’s biochemistry. The results are profound.
I have been studying his techniques, specifically incorporating some neurotransmitter balancing protocols, and have seen the results turn around many of my patients a lot quicker than other modalities. Still, do we need all this fancy biochemistry to have healthy brains? Although it’s fun, what is the easiest and best secret for both brain and body health may surprise you. It’s not found in a pill, it doesn’t cost a thing, it makes you look good, and it gives you energy. Do I have you interested? (Click link to continue).
