Dr. Patrick Love is a naturopathic doctor dedicated to helping patients improve their health through natural medicine, functional medicine, and root-cause evaluation. His approach combines traditional naturopathic principles with modern diagnostic tools and innovative therapies to create individualized treatment plans for each patient.
Dr. Love graduated from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois, in 2013, where he completed his training in naturopathic medicine and chiropractic medicine. Prior to attending NUHS, he completed his premedical studies at Washington State University, graduating in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
A Root-Cause Approach to Health
Medicine is changing. Patients have greater access to health information and are increasingly looking for options that go beyond simply managing symptoms. As a naturopathic doctor and holistic doctor, Dr. Love works to understand the underlying factors that may be disrupting the body's normal function and contributing to chronic symptoms or disease.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our goal is to evaluate the whole person and develop a personalized natural and functional medicine treatment plan designed to support the body's ability to restore balance and function.
We believe patients should feel informed, empowered, and actively involved in decisions about their health.
Personalized Naturopathic & Functional Medicine
Every patient is different. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Love evaluates the whole person and creates an individualized plan based on symptoms, health history, lifestyle, laboratory findings, and personal health goals.
Areas of focus may include gut health and digestive concerns, hormone balance, metabolic health, chronic inflammation, immune health, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, healthy aging, and overall wellness.
Treatment plans may incorporate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations, botanical medicine, homeopathy, supplementation, chiropractic care, bio-identical hormone therapy, oxidative therapies, ozone therapy, infrared sauna, drainage remedies, and other naturopathic and functional medicine approaches when appropriate.
IV Therapy & Personalized Nutrient IVs
Dr. Love offers IV therapy and personalized nutrient IV therapy as part of an individualized wellness plan. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to IV treatment, nutrient formulations can be selected based on a patient's health history, goals, and clinical needs.
IV therapy may incorporate vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients as clinically appropriate to support nutritional status, recovery, energy metabolism, immune function, and overall wellness.
Injections for Pain, Injuries & Recovery
For patients experiencing chronic pain or recovering from an injury, Dr. Love offers injections for pain and musculoskeletal conditions, including prolotherapy, neural therapy, and other regenerative or supportive injection techniques.
These therapies may be considered for patients looking for additional options for joint, muscle, tendon, ligament, or nerve-related discomfort. Treatment recommendations are individualized after evaluating the source of the patient's pain and determining which approach may be most appropriate.
Supportive Cancer Care
Dr. Love also works with patients seeking supportive cancer care and naturopathic oncology support alongside their conventional medical treatment. The focus is on supporting the whole person through individualized nutrition, lifestyle strategies, nutritional support, and other complementary therapies when appropriate.
Supportive naturopathic cancer care is intended to complement—not replace—care from a patient's oncology team, with treatment recommendations carefully considered in the context of conventional cancer therapies.
Gut Health & Whole-Body Wellness
Digestive health can influence many aspects of overall wellness. Dr. Love's gut health and functional medicine approach may evaluate factors such as digestion, the microbiome, nutrition, intestinal function, inflammation, and lifestyle to better understand what may be contributing to a patient's symptoms.
By looking at the connections between different systems of the body, the goal is to move beyond isolated symptoms and develop a more comprehensive, personalized path toward better health.
