Dr. Marie Winters
She / Her / Hers

I’m Dr. Marie Winters, ND, FABNO.

Concerns about our physical health force each one of us to face fears of mortality. From the new mother concerned about her child’s eczema to the young adult facing a diagnosis of autoimmune disease to the older adult facing a cancer diagnosis – we are suddenly unsure about this body and how to bring it back to a state of health. Often, conventional medicine offers a ten-minute appointment, a pill or cream, and you are still left uncertain. You want more. You want to know what you can do in your day-to-day life that can help you to feel healthy again.

My ND Expertise

Personalized Treatment

Marie Winters is a graduate of Bastyr University, the premiere naturopathic medical program in the United States, known for its cutting-edge research and rigorous curriculum. She was the first naturopathic doctor to establish a free-standing practice in Philadelphia, and has experience working in both private-practice and hospital-based settings.

My ND Approach

I provide one-on-one, personalized care with a head-to-toe evaluation that includes investigation into diet, mood, stress, and sleep. Recommendations are centered on holistic interventions that can be easily implemented into your current lifestyle.  Integrative cancer care involves addressing more than the side effects of conventional treatment, it involves supporting a person’s mental and emotional health.  We take statistics and turn them into a plan for the individual using evidence-based naturopathic recommendations.

Focus on Cancer

For those who would like naturopathic supportive care during oncology treatment.

    Dorothy

  • "I just wanted to say thank you for all of your suggestions to help my daughter with her allergies and swollen tonsils. Her tonsils have gone back down to their regular size! Also, the very first night I put the air purifier in her bedroom she stopped snoring and has not had any snoring since. Thank you so much for everything. I'm so relieved!"

    Dianne

    Laura

  • “I'm about halfway through my food reintroduction and I can eat garlic & onions with minimal problems, even without an enzyme! I've eaten a little bit of gluten every day for four days and so far so good. This is so, SO exciting. I get to have a bagel for the first time in five years!! I'm going to have asparagus when it's in season! This is incredible! Thank you so much for your help and guidance through this process. It took about a year but it was totally worth it. I'm about to learn to bake bread.”

She provides well-thought-out and whole-person-focused recommendations to address the “problem” (in my case an aggressive breast cancer with a bleak prognosis), but also all the areas of life that may be contributing to the concern. Come to Dr. Winters ready to make whatever changes you need in order to find your way to full health again. She will be a wonderful encourager and guide as you make all the changes you need to.”

 FAQ

  • Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care profession emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health, encouraging individuals’ inherent self-healing processes. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods – from nutrition to botanical medicine, from mind-body medicine to vitamin therapy. Rather than just suppressing symptoms, naturopathic doctors work to identify underlying causes of illness, and develop personalized treatment plans to address them.

  • The designation of FABNO (Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology) indicates that a naturopathic doctor has advanced training in naturopathic oncology, meeting the highest standards of the profession. In order to become a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology, a naturopathic doctor must complete a two-year CNME-accredited residency in naturopathic oncology, or practice for at least five years with 2,250 oncology contacts, submit cases for review by designated examiners, complete 50 continuing education credits in oncology, and pass a certification exam.

  • Yes! With extensive experience working hand-in-hand with oncologists, internists, surgeons and many other conventional medical providers, Dr. Winters is always willing to work as part of your medical team. With your consent, she can consult with your providers and send them copies of your naturopathic plan.

  • Every person is an individual, so follow-up visits are scheduled based on each person’s needs. That said, with natural medicine you need to wait long enough to see whether there has been a favorable response, but not so long that people fall of the wagon with regard to diet and lifestyle changes. Most follow-up visits are scheduled within 3 – 6 weeks, and then every 1 – 3 months after that. Those with more serious illnesses will require more frequent visits.

  • Dr. Winters would love to take insurance, but most insurance plans in Pennsylvania do not cover the cost of naturopathic medicine. Patients with health savings accounts (HSA’s and FSA’s) can use that portion of their insurance to cover the cost of the visit. Dr. Winters is always willing to provide an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

  • Dr. Winters can arrange a telemedicine visit for those who live more than an hour away from her South Philadelphia office. Please call for more details.
