First, let me warn you that I am a nerd, and I love food. My journey to become a doctor started with a passion for all things food-related and a degree in dietetics. I loved learning about digestion, metabolism, biochemistry, and how the body responds to food. I ate it up! I later learned that nearly 90% of chronic diseases are related to diet and lifestyle, and I thought, 'I have to help prevent this.
I have to become a doctor.' My practices focuses on gastrointestinal health through the power of nutrition and Food as Medicine. For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the doctor and I feel like I am seen as an individual not part of a calculation of how I should be/ compare to the general population.

I am a different kind of doctor. I'm the type of doctor that wants to hear your story and discover the root cause of your health challenges. I earned my medical degree from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and have my Bachelor degree in dietetics from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois.
Holistic nutrition means looking at the whole picture of your nutrition status: your unique blood markers, your food preferences, your nutritional deficiencies, and your food intolerances. Naturopathic doctors are trained to look for nutrient deficiencies to know which supplements and dietary recommendations are best for which conditions.

After being hospitalized and needing two surgeries to save my life and repair my colon, I've been working with Dr. Wolbers to heal my gut post-antibiotics and post-surgery. She has been wonderful to work with; knowledgeable, generous with her time, and so supportive. She's helped me to learn what to eat, what not to eat, and what supplements to take to help my gut to heal. I've lived my whole life not knowing that I was dairy intolerant and Dr. Wolbers was able to determine that with a test within a few weeks. I feel better and have more knowledge about how to take care of myself

Dr. Wolbers is super caring and gives the best natural medical care and expertise I've found after researching many places in the QC. She has helped tremendously. When I messaged the center
for help for a specific need and requested an appointment next day, Dr. Wolbers called me the same day...what doctor does that?! She is the kindest caring doctor I've met. It's such a positive environment every time in every appointment too. She gives natural treatments and vitamins for issues that have always worked, I give it 5 stars!

For the first time in my life, I feel in control of my health. This is due entirely to Dr. Emily Wolbers. I have suffered from a chronic illness that is no longer an issue because she listened to me and treated the cause instead of simply prescribing yet more harmful pharmaceuticals for the symptoms. Having had other serious medical diagnoses in the past, including cancer, I have seen many doctors, and Dr. Wolbers is by far the most knowledgable about both the human body and mind. My only regret is not seeking her out sooner because I didn't think I could afford it. The sad irony is that all those

Just had a phone consultation with Dr.Wolbers. She is a fantastic listener, which as a patient is paramount when explaining your health situation. Her passion and subtle but very obvious expertise for true health shines through in our short conversation and I look forward to working with her further.
Quad Cities, this is the place for health and healing.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Wolbers is one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate humans I have ever met. She is able to relate seemingly unrelated symptoms and come up with a treatment that works for me, no matter what I throw at her. In just over a year of seeing her, I have gained so much knowledge about the way my body functions, and how to each system interacts with the others. I genuinely look forward to our appointments, and rave about her to anyone that will listen!

Dr. Wolbers is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things to you. She always has suggestions for supplements, diet changes and blogs to find recipes to help me learn about the diet changes I have discovered I need. She is always very responsive to messages. I would highly recommend her services if you are looking at making natural changes for your health
