Bridges To Health

Bridges to Health was founded in 2000.  After the sudden death of her sister, misdiagnosed with Lupus, Dr. Linda Mundorff, MPH, MSN, ND, RN, CNC, CTN dedicated herself to help others take a proactive approach to health care.  In her role as a nurse/naturopath and associate professor she provided individuals with the knowledge to make important health care decisions, the tools necessary to achieve and maintain good health, live a healthier life, and find inner peace.  This can be achieved through the teachings of holistic health.

Holistic Health

          Is an exploration of the effects of illness on the mind, body, and spirit.   Illness does not always manifest itself outwardly in a manner in which one can observe, but may start deep inside the body, and by the time the symptoms are apparent the illness may have done a great deal of damage.

          It is also important to note that oftentimes a condition will not resolve due to an emotional trigger that continues to refuel the illness.  For example, lower back pain can be made worse by emotional upset – the muscles tighten, the nerves are pinched, and pain results. 

          If you want to be healthy physically you must start with the internal mechanism of the body.  Poor nutrition, suppression of emotions, and stress are triggers for dis-ease within the body.  

A group of disorders that are quickly becoming epidemic in proportion are autoimmune conditions, which are caused by a malfunction of the body’s immune system, whereby it attacks itself.  The immune system protects our bodies by destroying any foreign material that enters such as micro organisms (bacteria, virus, and fungi), mutated cells, cellular debris, and others. 

Naturopathy

          Dr. Mundorff believes in the health benefits of naturopathy which has a focus on stimulating the body's own innate ability to heal itself.   The focus is on prevention, achieving wellness, and dealing with chronic health problems that traditional medicine have failed to cure.   Naturopaths see illness as the body's way of signaling a deviation from normal.  The focus is to find the actual cause of the problem, treat the problem (rather than the symptoms of illness), and bring the body back into a natural balance.
