Dr. Nicole Sundene
is a Naturopathic Physician, Journalist and Editor-in-Chief of www.KitchenTableMedicine.com online health magazine. A graduate of Western Washington University for her undergraduate biochemistry degree, and Bastyr University for her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine, she additionally spent eight years of training as a Medical Assistant for the world renowned institute Virginia Mason Medical Center.

Throughout her four year post graduate Holistic Medical School training she had the fortunate opportunity to work side by side with the many talented physicians at Virgina Mason specializing in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Otolaryngology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Urology, and Urgent Care. The physicians at VM donated a great deal of their time in training and teaching her, and she has extreme gratitude for the experience she had working for an award winning clinic that was voted, "Best Health Care in Issaquah" all eight years of employment.

Her alternative medicine education along with training at Virginia Mason combined with the many, many, many years spent talking to patients as a telephone triage “nurse” have given her a diverse perspective on health care in America.

Outside of her passion for herbal medicine, ethnobotany and nature; she finds it important to take time off for fun, just as the tagline for Kitchen Table Medicine says, "Get Healthy & Enjoy Life." You may find her on the weekends riding some crazy muddy single track mountain bike trails, watching Animal Planet, walking her dogs or swimming. She adores her pets and animals in general, loves her 99 year old Grandma, and has never-ending gratitude to her family for all of their support throughout her education.  Blueberries are her favorite superfood, and she tries to eat a cup a day.

Her favorite motivational quote comes from her Grandma Marie, "Serve the Lord with Gladness."
