Dr. Jacob Panka, Naturopathic Doctor at Panka Natural Health

Dr. Jacob Panka, ND, MS

As a naturopathic doctor, I specialize in working with patients to reestablish the determinants of their health. I enjoy helping patients understand the complex puzzle of their well-being and collaborating with them to uncover the root causes of their conditions.

My evidence-informed approach uses advanced diagnostics, dietary supplements, and botanical medicines to support recovery and promote optimal health. I also regularly evaluate lab testing to further refine and personalize treatment plans.

Partnering with me offers an opportunity to expand your healthcare team and discover personalized and integrative solutions to your health concerns.

Heart Health

I place special emphasis in my practice on supporting heart health. My passion for treating the heart stems from my deep understanding of the brain’s dependence on the cardiovascular system. In my practice, I’ve helped numerous patients regulate blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rhythm issues such as atrial fibrillation and palpitations.

My approach combines naturopathic principles with personalized care, resulting in rapid improvements and lasting health benefits. Learn more about my Cardiovascular Wellness Program to see how we can work together to optimize your heart health.

Men’s Health

Men’s health is another critical area of focus in my practice, particularly when it comes to treating urinary concerns. Many of my patients have experienced significant improvements in urinary function and enhanced quality of life through targeted naturopathic interventions. For prostate cancer patients, I offer comprehensive support using evidence-informed treatments to support overall health. My holistic approach helps men regain control of their health and well-being, even when facing challenging diagnoses.

Gut Health

Gut health is foundational to overall wellness, and my practice prioritizes identifying and addressing gastrointestinal issues. Whether it’s GERD or liver and gallbladder function, I help patients navigate the often-complex world of gastrointestinal health. By focusing on the gut, many patients experience breakthroughs in conditions they’ve struggled with for years. If digestive health is holding you back, I’m here to help you find solutions.

Enhancing Sports Performance

My journey into naturopathic medicine was shaped by my own experiences as an athlete, where I recognized the lack of nutritional and integrative support for performance optimization. I am passionate about helping athletes at all stages of their careers feel their strongest, recover faster, and perform at their best. By focusing on nutrition, recovery, and overall health, my approach helps athletes unlock their full potential.

Brain Health

With a background in neuroscience, I am deeply committed to supporting brain health. I’ve conducted graduate research in neurodegeneration, focusing on sports-related concussions, post-concussion syndrome, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In practice, I help patients manage these conditions while also offering care for headaches, migraines, and dementia prevention. My goal is to preserve cognitive function and help patients maintain optimal brain health throughout their lives.
