Liz Orchard

Liz Orchard is the founder and chief naturopathic doctor of Be Well Natural Medicine, and she serves as its CEO. Her pre-medical undergraduate work was completed at the University of St. Thomas, where she graduated magna cum laude in 2001. Her profile also lists a Bachelor of Arts in Health Promotion and Science from the same university. She earned a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine with honors from the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, in 2008. Her five years of training there had a clinical focus on women's health and endocrine disorders.

Before starting her own practice, she spent 2008 and 2009 as a resident naturopathic doctor at an integrative clinic in New York City. The work there centered on preventive medicine, digestive disorders and integrative cancer care. In September 2009 she launched a private practice in Minnesota, which grew into Be Well Natural Medicine. She has also studied homeopathy, flower essence therapy, meditation, Qi Gong and Reiki.

Her specialties include women's health, endocrine and hormone imbalance, menopause and perimenopause, fertility and PCOS. She also works with acne and skin conditions, autoimmune disease, mold illness, Lyme and co-infections, and mast cell activation syndrome. Her practice includes pediatric and teen health, sports performance and nutrition counseling. She says her focus is helping women balance hormones, clear skin, improve digestion, and manage anxiety and sleep issues. She sees new patients from Wisconsin in person on Mondays at the Minneapolis clinic.
