Welcome!

At Balanced Rhythm Natural Health, naturopathic and functional medicine is personalized, focused, and designed to meet you where you are. Under the direction of Dr. Amanda Ellis, care combines thoughtful clinical evaluation, targeted testing, and individualized treatment strategies to address the underlying factors influencing how you feel and function.

Our areas of focus include naturopathic medicine, equestrian integrative health care, peptide therapy, metabolic health and body composition, thyroid health, gut health, nervous system regulation, hormone optimization, inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, pain and recovery, cognition preservation, and longevity.

Care here is intentionally straightforward. Schedule the service you need, receive a focused evaluation, and move forward with recommendations tailored to your goals. Follow-up care is available when you need it, without requiring enrollment in a predetermined program or long-term care structure.

While Balanced Rhythm is particularly known for working with equestrians and female athletes, care is available to all individuals seeking a thoughtful, integrative approach to optimizing their health.

Less complexity. More clarity. Highly individualized care, with a clear purpose: helping you feel better, function better, and build health that supports the way you want to live.
