About me
I'm a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist in WA who focuses on identifying and addressing the physical root causes of mental health concerns. Through a comprehensive six-appointment process, I utilize continuous glucose monitoring, in-depth lab testing (for glucose control, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal dysregulation, digestive challenges, and inflammation), and a personalized approach to uncover and address the underlying factors contributing to your fatigue, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms Together, we'll create a customized plan to help you achieve lasting improvements in your energy, mood, and overall well-being.
Hello, I'm Dr. Kristen Allott. With 20 years of clinical practice in Tacoma, WA, my mission is to help individuals transform their mental health by addressing its physiological root causes. As a Naturopathic Physician, Acupuncturist, Aikido black belt, and practitioner of Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems, I integrate these diverse fields to offer a truly holistic approach.
My work focuses on how fundamental physiological factors – such as glucose control, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal dysregulation, digestive challenges, and inflammation – profoundly influence our mental state. I'm passionate about explaining how basic physiology (how we eat, sleep, move, breathe, and rest) can be powerfully harnessed to enhance energy, mental clarity, and executive function, ultimately reducing mental health symptoms.
I've consistently observed that when individuals develop both the practical skills and a deep internal understanding of how food, sleep, movement, and breathing impact their unique body and life, symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, addiction, bipolar disorder, neurodivergence, PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and even aging-related cognitive shifts can significantly improve.
My goal is to empower you with achievable results. I've made my understanding of these vital tools readily available through my workbook, "Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Anxiety," and the extensive free resources on my website, KristenAllott.com.
My clinical practice is based in Tacoma, WA, and I offer telemedicine services exclusively to individuals living in the State of Washington. I look forward to supporting your journey toward integrated mind-body health.
