Health from the Heart with Dr. Lillea Hartwell, ND
Dr. Lillea Hartwell, ND, RH (AHG) is an award-winning licensed naturopathic doctor, registered herbalist, author and philanthropist. She is a Mexican-American native of Tucson, AZ. A U of A Wildcat & graduate, she was born and raised in Tucson, a city that she still calls home & resides in. She graduated with her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University of Health Sciences). She is honored to serve as adjunct faculty of her alma mater as she trains the future of naturopathic medicine. In addition to her doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Hartwell sought extra training through apprenticeships with herbalists (extensive training that earned her distinction as a registered herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild), intravenous (IV) & intramuscular (IM) pharmaceutical nutrient compounding, botanical medicine research, and studied indigenous uses of botanical medicine in regions spanning the globe (Haiti, Thailand, Africa, Amazonian Ecuador, Sovereign Nations of the USA & Canada, and Mexico just to name a few). In her treatment plans she bridges the traditional uses of plant medicines (& other modalities) with evidenced based practices. This is important because plants are not benign, they have great power just like pharmaceuticals (which she can also prescribe). In addition to graduating with her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, she also has a Bachelors of Science in Plant Sciences and minor in Environmental Sciences from the University of Arizona where she graduated as a Regents Scholar, cum laude with Honors. Her passion lies in general medicine (she is a primary care physician), especially in acute care settings, including wound care and minor surgery, rheumatology, and other autoimmune conditions. She embraces obstacles as tools to learn and grow. Botanical medicine, IV & IV pharmaceutical grade nutrient replenishment, Traditional Chinese Medicine (cupping, acupuncture, gua sha), mind-body techniques, clinical nutrition, & pharmaceuticals are just some of the modalities she uses to do this.
