ABOUT
Michelle M Ritola, ND
Michelle Ritola, ND is a Naturopathic doctor who graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in 2021. She grew up in SW Washington and received a BS in Biology from Portland State University. After 19 years working as an analyst/chemist in environmental chemistry, she returned to school to study alternative options to address the growing mental health crisis in her community. She concentrated on Integrative Mental Health, Eating Disorders and Transgender Health in her time at NUNM.
Dr. Michelle is a fat positive provider using components of the Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating frameworks and is a member of the Columbia River Eating Disorder Network (CREDN). She loves finding the root cause of dis-ease as well as helping people feel at peace in their own bodies. She considers her role to be adjunctive mental health care, working with her patient’s primary care doctor and other specialists to address mental health in a holistic way. She also works with hormonal health, especially in the perimenopausal and menopausal years.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Michelle has multiple options in her toolbox to discover and address the root cause of illness including specialized lab work, herbal remedies, nutraceuticals, lifestyle recommendations, Bach Flower Remedies, homeopathy, the Safe and Sound Protocol and prescription medication when necessary. She is grateful to have the time to listen to her patients and collaborate with them to develop treatment plans that support their goals.
In her leisure time, Dr. Michelle and her wife can be found walking along the river with their Dobrador, Baylee, taking time to have lovely meals with their friends and family, and planning improvements to their 1942 bungalow.
