Biography - Naturopathic Doctor Amy Neuzil

Dr. Amy Neuzil, ND

Dr. Amy Neuzil, N.D.

Dr. Amy Neuzil attended the prestigious University of Virginia for her pre-medical studies with the dream of becoming a Neurosurgeon. While attending University, a lifelong friend had a major brain hemorrhage, requiring brain surgery and a prolonged recovery in the Neural ICU. Through this experience Dr. Neuzil's focus changed. The vast majority of patients in the Neural ICU were leaving the hospital with brain damage, handicaps, comas, or not at all. Although Neurosurgery is an extremely challenging and rewarding profession, this experience caused Dr Neuzil to reexamine what she really wanted to achieve with medicine.

Dr. Neuzil then began working with patients in a Nursing home and was given the opportunity to examine modern medical care from the inside. She found that patients were severely overmedicated and often had drug-drug interactions, which were then covered up with yet another drug. Nutrition, physical activity and overall quality of life were largely overlooked. Doctor-patient interactions were limited to five-minute visits to monitor bodily function but without any real human relationship. What an eye-opening experience!

Fortunately Dr. Neuzil found Naturopathic Medicine which offers the unique combination of modern pathology, diagnosis and treatment options but focuses on alternative treatment methods such as nutrition, lifestyle therapies, homeopathy, supplements, hormone balancing and counseling. This form of medical care provides not only the best of modern and alternative medicine, but also rewarding and meaningful relationships between the Doctor and her patients.

Dr. Neuzil completed her B.A. in Psychology and her pre-medical studies at the University of Virginia and her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Amy Neuzil is a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor and owner of Excelon Health, a wellness center in Austin. She works with chronic disease, preventative medicine, hormone balancing, mental health and acute care in everyone from infants to the elderly. Dr. Amy is also a frequent co-host on the "lets Get Healthy" and "Good News Health Show" radio shows and has appeared as a medical expert on the TV series "The Genesis of Healing." She is the author of many articles published on-line and in magazines such as Natural Health. Her first book DIY Health: For Women was published in 2009.

Typically treatments with Dr. Neuzil start with the initial intake, which is an hour and a half - this is necessary to establish a clear picture of your health as a whole person. After that, follow-up visits are generally once a month until we are sure you are getting good results and can manage your own care, then they are on an as needed basis. Follow-up visits are typically half an hour.
