What Our Clients are Saying

After consulting my primary care physician several times about the same health issues and not finding solutions, I was frustrated. My menstrual cycles were very irregular and I was concerned about future fertility. I decided to see a naturopath, despite the fact that my insurance wouldn’t help to defray the cost – and it has REALLY paid off! I have worked with Dr. Christie Winkelman for about six months (on a schedule I could afford). She figured out right away that my thyroid was imbalanced (despite technically normal blood tests) and put together a customized treatment plan for me each time I saw her. The changes in diet, supplements, and lifestyle that she has recommended have yielded great results – I’m feeling better and my body is behaving as it should. And, my thyroid function is restored– without pharmaceutical intervention. Dr. Winkelman’s attentive, considered approach has been terrific!

Dr. Noska began treating my daughter in October for dance-related pain to her feet and ankles. She had been complaining of it daily and I was really concerned. Dr. Noska was able to do a few adjustments to her feet, some cold laser treatments, and he also fit Correct Toes for her feet. Within a few days I had not heard any complaints of pain, even after dance class! She told me, “The pain is gone, Mom!” She just went to a competition in Seattle this weekend and was pain free. She continues to wear her Correct Toes for some time every day, and I am confident that this protocol will help prevent much dance related pain and injury in the future. Thank you, Dr. Noska and Insights to Health Clinic!

I sought out care from Dr. Noska for pain in my shoulder from a rotator cuff injury. Months of physical therapy had not been helping markedly, but after just one session of cold laser, my pain (which was limiting my activities and interrupting my life enjoyment substantially) was reduced 90% and my mobility was greatly increased! After 3 sessions I am closer to 100% healed. I cannot believe this incredible technology and am telling everyone I know with pain of any type to visit Dr. Noska and Insights to Health. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I have never had a doctor this caring before. I have never had a doctor that would allow well over an hour listening intently to all my ailments.

To have a doctor who wants to treat me as a unique individual is rare, in my opinion.

I am a mother of four. Naturally, I was too busy taking care of my family and naturally neglected yours truly, sigh.

I went to see Dr. Huffman with the last attempt to find relief for my symptoms. I have to confess I was a tad skeptical and at the same time curious about this naturopathic approach. After an hour or so of talking (mostly me talking), we agreed on a treatment plan. (You must commit and follow the instructions in order for it to work!) Within a week and much to my pleasant surprise, I felt better. Oh, and another surprise- Dr. Huffman called to see how I’m feeling. Jolly nice.

Although this is a pricey approach, the outcome is priceless. It is a kinder and gentler approach to a long-term healthier you.

After suffering a lifetime of chronic allergies and having exhausted all of the conventional routes, I turned to Dr. Christie Winkelman, at Insights to Health, in the fall of 2009.
Dr. Winkelman was very generous with her time and attention to me and soon got me on a course of action that involved many different modalities such as dietary modification, homeopathy, supplements and self-care treatments.

I was amazed at how fast I responded to the treatment. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. I thought that going the “natural route” would be long, arduous, self-sacrificing and that I would have to be very patient before I would notice a change. Within the first month, so many my symptoms were resolved and through this process over the next couple of months, I had nothing short of a total revelation about my health and how everything is interrelated. Now that I feel the way I do now (with abundant energy, no crippling fatigue and lethargy, and no more constant coughing over post-nas…

I had an old sprained ankle injury that had not healed in two years. When Dr. Winkelman wanted to do cold laser on it, I was skeptical but agreed, since everything else she has done for me has been effective! After one treatment, my pain was gone and has not returned in three months. Since then we have treated other areas of old pains and those have greatly reduced as well. I cannot believe how much better my body is feeling, and how used to my prior level of pain I had become. I am skiing again this year! Thank you Insights to Health!

Cold laser and spinal adjustments at Insights to Health resolved some tendonitis I had had for a very long time. My shoulders are looser, which means I am using my aids more effectively, and working on the holding patterns in my back means I am sitting up straighter in the saddle and using my core muscles better. Dietary changes have given me greater stamina and strength, and have helped my weight to be constant without effort. I am a stronger, more confident rider as a result. I am making amazing progress in my riding goals!! Thank you!! C.T., 43 year old female, Portland, OR

After only three sessions of neurofeedback with Dr. Gil Winkelman, I am noticing a definite improvement in my concentration, focus, and ability to do many complex tasks without being overwhelmed. I feel as though I am finally coming out of a longstanding fog! In addition to having a gentle and kind bedside manner, Dr. Winkelman is very skilled and knowledgeable both about neurofeedback and medicine in general. He has also recommended natural medicines that have improved my overall health and well-being, and I look forward to further improving and maintaining my health with his holistic approach even after my neurofeedback sessions are over. I couldn’t be more pleased. C.S., 39 year old female, Portland, OR
