My name is
Dr. Jason Kinley
and this is my story
I began my journey in Ohio where I was born. I was often ill and over prescribed pharmaceuticals. I moved around a lot as a child and have resided in the states of Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Montana, and Washington. Even with all of this moving, being over medicated was still a concern in every state.
I was a very active child and played sports which included baseball, soccer (into the collegiate level), racing motorcycles, racing bicycles, running track, and playing hockey. I still had my own health challenges, but I just went along without anyone really listening to my story.
One day my life changed, I had a car wreck and a traumatic brain injury also known as a TBI. During the process of healing (which took me around 2-2.5 years,) I started to seek other options for my health care. This led me to adjunctive care with a naturopathic doctor and other medical personal that he referred me to.
During this time period I got married and had my first two children. We then moved to Washington and had two more children. After seeing how naturopathic medicine helped me, my wife encouraged me to become a doctor as well. We now have a loving household with nine wonderful children.
I love to walk with my patients on their individual journeys, wherever their paths may lead. I am able to use physical medicine for those bumps in the road, guidance when the road forks, food, herbs, and sometimes medication when the body needs a little help.
Now that you have read some of my story, I would love to hear yours.
Eat well, live better, smile more!

Naturopathy
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine, or Naturopathy, is a revolutionary approach to healthcare that goes beyond simply treating symptoms—it seeks to uncover and address the root causes of illness. Unlike traditional medicine, which often relies on medications to manage conditions, Naturopathy takes a holistic view of the body, recognizing that everything is interconnected. It blends cutting-edge science with natural healing methods, personalizing care to each individual’s unique genetics, environment, and lifestyle. This means no more one-size-fits-all treatments, but instead, targeted solutions that empower the body to heal and thrive.
What sets Naturopathy apart is its focus on prevention and long-term wellness. Instead of masking symptoms with prescriptions, it works to restore balance by optimizing nutrition, reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and addressing stress and toxins in the body. Imagine a world where you have more energy, better digestion, and a clearer mind—not because you’re on another pill, but because your body is truly functioning at its best. By working with practitioners who listen and dig deeper, people can reclaim control over their health and experience vitality like never before.
What about Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine was born out of the desire to teach conventional practitioners how to think like naturopaths. It takes the core principles of Naturopathy—addressing root causes, treating the whole person, and using natural therapies—and brings them into the realm of modern medicine.
Functional medicine bridges the gap by combining the best of both worlds: the scientific rigor and advanced testing of conventional medicine with the holistic, patient-centered approach of Naturopathy. This empowers practitioners to move beyond symptom management and truly understand the “why” behind illness, creating personalized strategies that restore balance and promote long-term wellness.
