Ms. Liad Auslander is a pre-med student at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. majoring in Applied Kinesiology and minoring in Psychology. Her hobbies include music and dance. She will be spending this summer in the Seattle area to be with her family and intern with me. Since a young age, she has always had a keen passion for medicine, and was offered the privilege to continue working towards her goals with us. She is looking forward to working with the clinic for the summer!
Liad will be likely at our clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a portion of the day. She will be shadowing me and helping with various functions of the clinic visit.
Docere (Doctor as Teacher) is a key principle of Naturopathic Medicine and I welcome the opportunity to help Liad learn and grow. As well I am sure I will learn from her.
Please join me in making her feel comfortable. As always with interns we will ask your permission for them to be in the visit with us. You always have the right to opt-out however we hope you will consider the gift you are giving Liad by allowing her to observe the visit.

One of my favorite all-time herbs is Urtica Dioica known as Nettle. I was introduced to this herb why doing a trail run in Marin County, Northern California when I turned a corner too fast and was stung by one of its infamous needles. Little did I know that this plant who I was "cursing" was one natures best medicines .

He stated it has some of the best antihistamine properties of all the plants because it is rich in plant sterols, fatty acids, and lignans which basically act like a fire extinguisher for inflammation especially with seasonal allergies. If you suffer from grass or tree allergies, try some Nettle root tea from Traditional Medicinals. Or stop by Herban Wellness in Kirkland and ask for a tea to be made up. Enjoy a cup in the morning and again in the evening and let me know if you see a reduction in your allergy symp
