Men in their 20s and 30s who take prevention seriously receive personalized diet and lifestyle plans that will help them avoid health issues down the road. Of course, Dr. Paddock works with many middle-aged men with ‘classically male problems,’ such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, low testosterone, and prostate problems (BPH). Dr. Paddock also works with older men who are looking to maintain their vitality as they enjoy their retirement.

Dr. Paddock is one of a very few naturopathic physicians nationwide who focuses on men’s health.

While I’m not in the business of selling products, I do like my patients to be able to access high quality products at a reasonable price. In the variable world of nutritional supplements, I want to make sure that my patients are taking safe, effective products. This also helps me to determine whether or not my therapies are working – if I have a patient taking an inferior product, it’s hard for me to tell whether the treatment isn’t working, or if the product itself is at fault.

Naturopathic medicine has a lot to offer families. Because it relies on non-toxic therapies, it aids children in overcoming health problems without burdening them with side effects, leaving them free to pursue their potential in school and sports. Additionally, Dr Paddock has observed that children respond uniquely well to natural medicines – because they are still growing and resilient, they can make the most of gentle, natural medicines and really excel.

Dr Paddock treats all manner of childhood illness, including eczema, allergies, and asthma. He has additional training and experience working with children with attention deficit and other behavioral disorders.

“I’ve been a long time sufferer of seasonal allergies in the spring and summer. OTC meds worked to subdue the symptoms but at the cost of disrupting my sleep, digestion, energy levels and mental clarity. As such, I began to seek alternative/natural routes that would help with the symptoms but have minimal to no side effects.  Dr. Paddock has given me sound advice for my allergy issues that have helped me considerably. When the season hits, it’s nice not to have to take Claritin or Zyrtec every day. He is knowledgeable (as is anyone who makes it through the rigors of Bastyr University) as well as having a good sense of humor and a down to Earth way about him. I definitely recommend his counsel to anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies.”

“Poison ivy and poison oak have long been the only detractors from spending time outdoors for me. After one perticularly bad episode, my leg and ankle had swollen up so much that I couldn’t put my shoe on. The doctors that I saw gave me lots of steroid cremes and keflex, which I promptly developed an allergic reaction to and broke out in hives all over my body. There are few things more infuriating than constant itching for weeks on end.
Dr. Paddock calmly looked over the rash, infection and hives. Patiently discussing my health history and the sequence of events that had brought me to my present infection, Dr Paddock collected all the information he could about my situation. After some throught and further discussion about my nutrition and eating habits, he then made some suggestions and administered several naturopathic remedies. Where all other doctors had struggled to even make a difference in my reaction, Dr. Paddock’s prescription resulted in rapid improvement in my leg. I was back to work in a few days and a client for life. Thanks Dr. Paddock!”
