The People Behind Your Care
Dedicated People. Compassionate Care.
Dr. Lynnea Felton, NMD
Licensed Naturopathic Doctor
A native of Buffalo, NY, Dr. Felton received her Bachelor's of Science in Biology from Niagara University. While studying there, she conducted a thesis experiment on the effects of cervical cancer cells after treatment with Curcuma longa and light activated vitamin D, the herb that causes the yellow coloring of turmeric. This, however, was not where her journey to discover a more alternative way of treatment started.
After struggling through childhood with significant acid reflux, unexplained abdominal pain, anxiety, and chronic ear infections, her parents were inspired to seek out an alternative. This eventually led the family to discover naturopathic medicine, and Dr. Felton's favorite naturopathic principle of “Treat the Cause.” Removing the source of irritation that caused chronic inflammation leading to disease, which in her case was food related, led to complete resolution of symptoms.
Dr. Felton graduated from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) in Tempe, AZ and also completed a general medicine residency at the SCNM Medical Center. She enjoyed teaching clinical students on how to incorporate the naturopathic principles to treat every patient and provide treatment plans that easily integrate into patient's lifestyles.
Dr. Leah Gusching, NMD
Licensed Naturopathic Doctor
After coordinating a research fellowship for medical residents, Dr. Gusching became increasingly aware of the gap between managing disease and cultivating health. This experience led her to pursue a path more closely aligned with her values, ultimately resulting in naturopathic medicine. In her practice, she places particular emphasis on exploring each patient’s unique response to stress and the role it plays in shaping their health.
As a Christian, Dr. Gusching believes true health is far more than the absence of disease. She recognizes our deepest identity, purpose, and sense of meaning are found within the larger context of God’s design for humanity and our relationship with Him. She believes naturopathic medicine reflects this design and aims for patients to more fully discover their capacity for healing.
Outside of work, Dr. Gusching enjoys playing basketball with her husband, walking with their two-year-old son, and swimming in the ocean whenever the opportunity presents itself. She graduated from National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois and is grateful for the privilege of walking with others on their healing journeys.
Dr. Mike Gonzales, NMD
Clinic Director
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Gonzales always had a deep appreciation for health and wellness. His journey led him to Arizona, where he pursued a doctorate in naturopathic medicine at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Gonzales specializes in men’s health, specifically helping men feel their best through hormone optimization therapy and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Dr. Gonzales and his wife Dr. Felton founded Abundance Naturopathic Medicine together, dedicated to providing exceptional care with the principles of natural medicine, business excellence, and faith. Between clinical practice, he runs the operations of Abundance Naturopathic.
