Dr. Christina Compton, NMD
Founder & CEO
Dr. Christina Compton, NMD is a licensed naturopathic medical doctor with three decades of experience. Dr. Compton has a unique blend of accomplishments in international medicine and results oversight. She has a solid working knowledge of patient treatment combined with regulatory and operational success. Dr. Compton has worked closely with the USA’s Health and Human Services Division, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS), and is regarded as a luminary in understanding CMS regulations and building integrative healthcare solutions which link the interests of patients, physicians, regulators, and shareholders.
Dr. Compton has a keen interest in European neural therapies and Anthroposophical Medicine. Today’s medicine chases after technology and is based on a restricted world view. This limited view is unable to take in the whole reality of a human. Anthroposophical medicine, as brought forward by Rudolf Steiner, humanizes medicine. This ‘art of healing’ includes a broader conception of an individual, that of the spirit and soul. She has extensive studies in Germany and Switzerland and has co-authored a Mistletoe Research Oncology abstract which was selected for a poster presentation at the Society of Integrative Oncology (SIO). She has co-facilitated the training of close to 250 healthcare practitioners in 15 major cities across the USA in the clinical application of Mistletoe.
Dr. Compton partners with international scientists and other physicians bridging the gap between conventional and complementary medicine. Her C-suite leadership roles in Fortune 7 - 100 corporations have contributed to her successful skill set in managing both patient care and follow up progress. Dr. Compton has previously directed a research project through Banner Health Hospital and has partnered with surgeons and MDs to create comprehensive pre-and post-operative drug protocols using integrative therapeutics. Dr. Compton has lived and worked in North America and abroad providing strategic and tactical healthcare consulting services.

She integrates lifestyle changes, evidence-informed supplement choices, nutrition, Chinese Medicine and stress management to enhance conventional medical therapy.

Her clinical and research interests include cancer risk/recurrence reduction, cancer survivorship, active surveillance support, co-design of healthcare delivery and caregiver resilience. She has created and presented numerous classes on healthful lifestyle and eating, cancer risk/recurrence reduction and the use of natural medicine during conventional cancer therapy.
Dr. Reuter draws from almost three decades in healthcare to solve complex cases using many healing tools, focusing on individualizing treatment and maximizing patient and family experience.
