About the GastroANP

Who We Are

The Gastroenterology Association of Naturopathic Physicians are a group of dedicated practitioners specialized in the treatment of digestive disorders using the principles of naturopathic medicine coupled with the latest evidenced-based research. We have come together to build a community of like-minded naturopathic physicians and students to share research, clinical knowledge, practice tips and other relevant topics within this body of knowledge. Through the use of our community forum, conferences, and webinars we provide useful information with direct application of the treatment of digestive disorders in clinical practice.
