Mark Stengler – The Art of Understanding the Burden of Chronic Health Disorders


Published on May 02, 2023

It is no secret that chronic health disorders are long-term conditions with persistent effects. As a result, they negatively impact society, the economy, and the overall quality of life. Over the years, chronic health disorders have been a common and primary concern for the health sector. Chronic health disorders are the primary reason behind deaths and disability. Medical innovation and access to life-saving treatments can potentially lower the burden of increasing chronic health disorders. Every medical practitioner has played their part in combatting chronic health disorders, and Dr. Mark Stengler is one of them. As a naturopathic medical doctor, Stengler manages and seeks to prevent acute and chronic illness by helping restore and establish optimal health.

Born on February 25, 1969, in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Stengler is a naturopathic medical doctor, lecturer, and author. Throughout his career, Stengler has stepped in and explored a broad range of medicine, including treating complex conditions, bioidentical hormone replacement, and chronic health conditions. Due to his extensive and back-to-back efforts in the field of medicine, Stengler has been published in several medical journals, including The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine and others.

Essential hormones essentially fluctuate in both men and women throughout their life for various reasons. Both genders are likely to find their hormonal change as they grow older, which is a natural yet expected process. A naturopathic medical doctor like Stengler can help determine the symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Stengler uses his extensive knowledge and expertise to combine the best of traditional and natural healing methods to spot imbalances in the body and cure causes of various health conditions. His broad understanding of hormonal imbalance has helped him draw the attention of many men and women.

Although hormone replacement is considered a safer and more effective way to treat perimenopause, still, it carries risks. Because of this, many people are shifting to home remedies and other holistic methods to help ease their symptoms. He is approached for his expertise in balancing women’s hormones using diet, supplements, herbal medicine, and bioidentical hormones.

Developing effective approaches to managing chronic conditions

To put it shortly, a chronic or long-term disease means having to alter the demands of the illness and the therapy used to cure the condition. Dealing with a chronic illness comes with colossal stress and is highly demanding for the one dealing with it. In 1995, Stengler stepped into the health sector and founded La Jolla Whole Health, which was later moved to Encinitas, California, due to high patient demand. By 1999, it was expanded into an integrative medicine clinic. Upon the expansion, Stengler developed more effective approaches to managing chronic conditions to enhance care and address the burden caused by chronic conditions on healthcare systems and the overall life of the people.

At his integrative health clinic, Stengler combined traditional medicine and modern lab testing to find the imbalances in the body and then used natural therapies to treat root causes and support the healing systems of the body. Although some medications come with the exact instructions for everyday use, side effects are not always as transparent as indicated. Some medicines are only used when required or as needed for a particular situation. In this regard, Stengler prescribes pharmaceutical medications sparingly and when needed.

Making a name for himself in the healthcare sector

Hospitals and the healthcare industry have evolved over the years to meet the changing needs and remain competitive. Back when the use of social media was not as much as it is today, it was rare to have medical professionals providing accessible online education and services. Mark Stengler is a name in the healthcare industry which he has earned throughout his career. It was in 2010 when he hosted the Natural Healing TV Show, which revolved around alternative health and was aired on PBS, cable stations, and YouTube.

Stengler has also served on the Yale University Complementary Medicine Outcomes Research Project and was named Doctor Of The Decade 2021 by the International Association Of Top Professionals. In addition to being a medical practitioner, Mark Stengler is also an author who has penned more than 20 health books and currently has an internet newsletter called Dr. Stengler’s Health Breakthroughs.
