Meet the Dr. Nathan Goodyear, MD, MDH
Docēre rāphè: Docēre is Latin for doctor which is translated, teacher. Rāphè is Hebrew for physician which is translated, as healer. The word root of the word disease is from the two words, dis, meaning lack of or without, and -aise, meaning wellness. Disease, or better dis-aise, is simply the lack of wellness.
Dr. Goodyear’s passion for Wellness began with his own 100-pound post-college football career weight loss. Dr. Goodyear is currently the medical director of a holistic, integrative cancer healing center in Arizona where he uses the principles and science of holistic, natural, and integrative therapies to treat and heal people with cancer. It is not enough to target and eliminate cancer, one must heal. In addition, Dr. Goodyear is dedicated to dis-aise prevention, dis-aise resolution, and to the wellness lifestyle through a solution-based, Holistic, Integrative approach founded in science.
Dr. Goodyear received his Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana Tech University and his Doctor of Medicine from LSU Health Sciences Center. He is Board Certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and served as the Chief Resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Tennessee.
Dr. Goodyear has practiced Integrative Medicine since 2006. Dr. Goodyear is a Fellow in Functional and Regenerative Medicine and served on the board of the American Functional Medicine Association. Dr Goodyear is licensed by the Arizona Homeopathic and Integrative Medical Board in the State of Arizona. Dr. Goodyear is a published author, Man Boob Nation–an Integrative medicine approach to low Testosterone published in 2014, and Total Testosterone Transformation published in 2017. More currently, Dr. Goodyear is an avid blogger and podcaster. Dr. Goodyear has spoken across the country on various topics in Wellness Medicine. He was recently appointed to chairman of the scientific medical advisory board of the Vitamin C International Consortium Institute (VCICI). Dr. Goodyear’s passion is to bridge the science of Wellness medicine to the clinical application of Wellness medicine to restore medicine to its original purpose of teaching the body how to heal—Docēre rāphè.
