LaToya Lewis, ND, is a naturopathic medicine resident at Goshen Center for Cancer Care. She offers patients with cancer natural therapies and lifestyle recommendations that support a healthy quality of life. Her therapies help reduce side effects and increase the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments.
With every patient, Dr. Lewis provides evidence-informed therapies that treat the whole person—physically, mentally and emotionally. She encourages patients to take an active role in setting healthy habits that improve the body’s natural ability to heal and improve quality of life.
Family time, community service and the natural world take priority when Dr. Lewis is away from patient care. She also channels her energy into strength training, dance and travel.

For Dr. Lewis, patient care is meant to be centered around the individual person. She works together with patients to design a plan of therapy that fits their individual goals. Education on the foundations of health also plays an important role in Dr. Lewis’ approach to care. The knowledge gives patients perspective about options for natural and supportive therapies that work with conventional treatment.
