Welcome to Naturopathic Medicine Week! I’m Dr. Lexi Lain and have been practicing in Lake Norman for 10 years! I’m excited to share the profound benefits of naturopathic medicine and what makes my practice unique. Let’s dive in!
Imagine working with a clinician that takes the time to hear you, seeks to understand your personal barriers and challenges that keep you from making healthy changes, and guides you through a step-by-step process to overcome those obstacles to achieve your wellness goals. This is exactly what Dr. Lexi does with all her practice members.
We are NOT anti-pharmacy. In fact, medically trained naturopathic doctors can prescribe medication and hold a DEA number. I use “The Ladder of Intervention” as an example. The first rung of the ladder represents the foundations to wellness: nutrition, relationships, gratitude, movement, rest, and recovery, etc. These are essential to having a healthy body, mind, and spirit. As you climb the ladder, the next rung is energetic medicine such as homeopathy, red light therapy, sound therapy, and things like that. Next are vitamins, minerals, and herbs followed by hormone replacement therapy. Next, we can cross the skin in licensed states which means we can provide vitamin injections and IV therapy. Finally, we get to pharmaceuticals and lastly, surgery.
Unfortunately, despite over 20 years of efforts, Naturopathic Doctors remain unlicensed in North Carolina.
You see, the standard medical model is in the business of selling pharmaceuticals. Also, culturally, people want quick fixes and are not interested in changing their diets or exercising. For these individuals, pharmaceuticals keep them alive…. just not well.
If you value wellness, then you must take a multi-pronged approach, not just relying on prescription medications.
The most important thing a Naturopathic Doctor can do is educate the practice member on how to take care of themselves. What makes being a member at Summit Vitaliy so valuable is that you will go through a learning experience that guides people through a step-by-step process to unravel their stressful lives because the hyper busy lifestyle is not serving anyone. In fact, its a major cause for the ailments we see in the primary care setting:
Anxiety
Insomnia
High Blood Pressure
Tension headaches and TMJ
Digestive Issues
Hormonal Imbalances
etc…
Stress can be seen as one of the root causes of all these complaints, which is why Dr. Lexi Lain has built an educational journey to change the relationship with stress and help the busy professional thrive in the chaos.
Dr. Lexi Lain has 15 years of clinical experience and holds a doctorate degree from one of the top naturopathic medical schools: Bastyr University.
Medically trained naturopathic doctors must uphold the highest standards of naturopathic care, blending traditional wisdom with evidence-based practices to deliver the results our practice members seek.
As a board-certified naturopathic physician, we must maintain continued education to stay up to date with the advancements in research within the field. Continued learning offers a better understanding of how our natural and unnatural world around us is impacting our health.
Telehealth convenience: Our 100% Telehealth model ensures seamless access to care from the comfort of your home or while on-the-go, saving your time and hassle. This is perfect for the overwhelmed mom, professional, or entrepreneur.

Energetically,
Dr. Lexi Lain
