Pharmaceutical Prescription

Thoughtful Pharmaceutical Prescription

When Medications Support Healing | Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD | Encinitas

While naturopathic medicine emphasizes natural and lifestyle-based solutions, there are times when pharmaceutical prescriptions are an appropriate and valuable part of your care plan. At the Stengler Center in Encinitas, Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD thoughtfully prescribes medication only when it aligns with your healing goals, values, and overall health.

When Might Dr. Wafaa Recommend a Prescription?

As a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor in California, Dr. Wafaa may prescribe medications when:

• Natural therapies aren’t providing adequate relief
• A short-term pharmaceutical can jumpstart long-term healing
• There is a clear clinical need (e.g., thyroid hormone replacement, infection, hormone therapy)
• A prescription enhances another part of the integrative plan (e.g., mental health, inflammation control)

Her prescription philosophy is: Minimum dose, shortest duration, maximum benefit—always with informed consent and shared decision-making.

🌱 Integrative, Not Either/Or

Prescription support may be considered for:

• Hormone replacement therapy (bioidentical thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
• Antimicrobials or antifungals for gut health (SIBO, candida, infections)
• Low-dose antidepressants or anxiolytics as a bridge during emotional distress
• Topicals or compounded medications for dermatological or pain support
• Informed deprescribing if reducing dependence is appropriate

Every prescription is paired with lifestyle, nutritional, and functional care—you’ll never be handed a script without a plan.
