DR. SHANNON RUSE, ND

Hey, I’m Dr. Shannon Ruse, a Naturopathic Doctor who is passionate about helping you achieve your health goals through evidence-based, integrative medicine. I’ve always believed that health is so much more than just your physical symptoms—it’s about understanding the emotional, mental, social and environmental factors that contribute to your well-being. I want to help you see the bigger picture when it comes to your health, and to work preventatively for a healthy future. I’m here to support you every step of the way, focusing on helping you feel like a healthier you now, and giving you the tools and the knowledge to maintain your well-being long term.

Whether your goals are related to your skin, women’s health – from periods, pregnancy, perimenopause or beyond; digestive concerns, or supporting your cancer remission, we’ll work collaboratively to create a plan that empowers you, educates you, and makes you feel in control of your health journey.

While working together, I like to start by building up the foundations of your health—focusing on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and movement; and using strategic supplementation, herbal medicine, injection therapy, lab testing or acupuncture to support your goals.

Outside of practice, you can find me unwinding at a hot yoga class, running, cycling, reading or exploring new restaurants with friends and family. Staying active and connected is so important to me, and I love sharing that energy with my patients!

I look forward to meeting you and working together to help you thrive!
