Dr. Nathan Wagner graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine in 2019, following completion of his pre-medical degree with the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Wagner is an integrative primary care provider for patients with diverse needs and conditions in the Columbia River gorge and surrounding areas. Beyond typical primary care conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., much of his practice revolves around men’s and women’s health. He is a member of The Menopause Society and is working towards becoming a certified menopause practitioner through the organization.
Above all, he believes that knowledge and time are the foundations that health is built upon. To help demystify the medical field for patients, he aims to provide succinct explanations of the hows, whys, and timelines of health conditions and treatment plans. Patient education is largely focused around the lifestyle factors that dramatically affect our health: nutrition, movement, sleep, hydration, and stress management. He believes in using the best of both worlds when it comes to choosing medications and supplements as a collaborative decision-making process between doctor and patient. Life outside of the clinic is very similar to many gorge residents. He might be seen on his bike at the trailhead, in the forest with a basket of mushrooms, flailing on the river trying to wing foil, fishing for his freezer stash of salmon, and the list goes on and on.
