Dr. C. Stockton Jacobs, ND is a holistic Family Care Physician. He is a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor and a co-founder and the program developer of 'theSUPPLEMENT Protocols'. His education as a Naturopathic Doctor,
personal research, and private family care practice emphasizing safe and effective holistic medical care have provided him with the essential teachings, background and experience to make these comprehensive protocols highly effective.
Dr. Jacobs employs a new model of health by engaging that human potential to heal that lies within all of us. Call it what you will. It is the basis of Naturopathic Medicine to seek out how a person's health is functioning and then answer the question 'Why?' Inherent in this model is an enormous depth of exploration into the cause of the disruption in your optimal functioning. Most diseases have their root in a person's poor foundation of health. As in creating a beautiful home, we must begin with a healthy and strong foundation. As with a tree, vitality depends on providing the right soil and strong roots. It is only from a strong foundation that we can grow in all the ways that we wish.
Some might consider Dr. Jacobs' approach to optimizing health similar to functional diagnostic medicine. Through the use of comprehensive diagnostic laboratory studies we get the clearest picture of how a person's unique body is functioning. It is only through an extensive search into a patient's current and past medical history in the light of the diagnostic results that we can derive any valuable information. The current practice of just getting all your lab numbers in the 'normal' range falls criminally short of what's necessary to optimize health. We are not simply the average of many numbers on a page but rather multi-dimensional, dynamic and lively beings full of spirit. Who wants to just be average anyway? Fundamental to this approach is the optimization of health not just the absence of disease. Many of us have been lulled into complacency by our current medical model that promotes just getting by. We have been convinced that feelings of apathy, anxiety, depression, or fatigue are to be expected; we should be thankful for such good health. Simply put, this is a crime of incompetence and misinformation. You deserve more! So, it is Dr. Jacobs' approach to seek optimal health by treating the whole individual not just the symptoms of a disease.
Dr. Jacobs has the training to prescribe and manage a patient's health with pharmaceutical medicine and employs it when absolutely necessary, however, he rarely sees the long-term benefits from drugs that he regularly sees with science-based natural medicine. By limiting the use of prescription medications he saves his clients from the adverse effects to be expected from drug therapy. To this end, there is always a spectrum of intervention that is necessary to create health. We must begin with the least invasive approach as is medically necessary to ensure appropriate, safe and effective medical care.
Dr. Jacobs graduated from the prestigious Bastyr University in Seattle, WA. He is also a Nationally Certified Therapeutic Massage and Bodyworker and has developed his own style of energetic bodywork called 'Intuitive Bodylogue.' He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with an emphasis on Economics of the Environment and Resource Management. He is originally from the Philadelphia area but has spent most of his adult life traveling and exploring the many roads of life. He has lived in many different regions of the United States and has spent extensive periods of time living abroad exploring other countries and their unique cultures.
In his ever-diminishing spare time Dr. Jacobs enjoys spending time with his family, fine cooking, traveling, hiking and camping, gardening, playing soccer, permaculture, foreign languages, art history, applied ecology, architecture, geography, working with wood and the exciting adventure of discovery.
