A graduate of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences (www.scnm.edu), Dr. Youngren completed her undergraduate training at the University of Minnesota and additional medical prerequisites with a biochemistry concentration from San Francisco State University.

Dr. Youngren's two-year clinical internship included training in all naturopathic modalities, with a concentration in Environmental Medicine. Combining therapies used to treat environmental exposure, Dr. Youngren applies knowledge from this specialty when working with couples to enhance fertility and ensure proper preconception care. Her technique can include interpretation of specific labs including but not limited to Food Allergy Testing, Micronutrient Testing, and Heavy Metal Testing.

Overall, her treatment protocols carefully blend evidence-based medical science with natural therapies to treat the underlying cause of disease. Although achieving symptomatic relief is often necessary and vital, getting to the fundamental source of imbalanced health is her number one priority. Dr. Youngren carefully considers each individual and their condition when prescribing nutritional and supplemental support. With a "less is more" philosophy, she is able to assess the best treatment plan for her patients. In line with Naturopathic philosophy, Dr. Youngren's goal will always be to use the least invasive approach.

Dr. Youngren believes that each patient should be empowered with knowledge and a full understanding of their current health situation, and best ways to prevent recurrence. When deemed necessary, she will prescribe nutritional and pharmacological support, order necessary lab work, and consult with and/or refer to specialists. She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Doctors (AANP) and the California Naturopathic Doctors Association (CNDA).
