Luke Mountjoy
Dr. Luke Mountjoy is a naturopathic doctor who aims to educate and empower his patients to act towards optimizing their health now, so they can live life at its best. Dr. Luke recognizes that there is more to health than the absence of disease and he strives to maximize his patient’s health-span, by optimizing their physical, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing through extensive testing and detailed personalized care plans.
Optimizing our health requires preventing chronic diseases. Dr. Luke is passionate about preventing and treating
- cardiovascular disease

- chronic pain (arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia,)
- men’s health
- digestive concerns (IBS, IBD, GERD, SIBO)

Through personal and clinical experience Dr. Luke acknowledges that the physical body is often the first place we notice discomfort and he is one of few naturopathic physicians utilizing ultrasound-guided injections to aid in the management of chronic pain, arthritis, and sports-related injuries. He takes time with all his patients to address the root cause of their concerns, building health from the ground up, as opposed to strictly treating the symptoms.
Dr. Luke’s naturopathic approach combines the latest evidence-based medical science with centuries of wisdom from Eastern and European modalities. He acknowledges that the foundation of health begins with supporting the body’s natural instinct to sustain wellbeing through dietary and lifestyle choices. Relying on tools like advanced testing, Dr. Luke creates results-oriented treatment plans incorporating nutrition, exercise, nutraceuticals, botanical medicine, IV therapy, ultrasound-guided injections, acupuncture, and pharmaceuticals as necessary.
