Wellness is a state of being, evolving from a way of living, that helps individuals achieve their highest potential through the integration of all components of their lives. Included are health, social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, intellectual, occupational and economic components.

We focus on your physical health with some occasional ventures into the emotional and spiritual dimensions (usually when they impact your physical health).

Lifestyle choices like healthy eating and movement make up the starting point for good health.

Finding and maintaining Balance is key.

Pharmaceuticals (drugs) are mostly reactionary and deal with symptoms of sickness and imbalance but often don't promote healing or wellness. Most often, they only provide relief from symptoms. They often come at a cost of side affects that can require more drugs and may impede the body from regaining optimum balance.

 

Feeding your body the building blocks it needs to help regenerate and fight off disease is, in our opinion the first line of defense. Using drugs and surgery as appropriate and for only as long as needed (sometimes relieving those symptoms is key to your body moving forward).

 

The average medical doctor gets 1/2 of a nutrition class during their medical school (1 out of 2 doctors take 1 nutrition class). Our medical system is geared to prescribe drugs and perform surgeries. Finding a good practitioner that can help you navigate the crazy world of health and wellness is not easy.

The nutrition field is still in its infancy - the big pharmaceutical companies are just beginning to invest in medical nutrition. It's exciting as more and more scientific studies are being performed to prove or disprove the use of nutritional ingredients in therapeutic use.

You are encouraged to read and do research on nutrition as it pertains to your health. It is also worth finding a doctor or health practitioner that is trained in nutrition to help you with your health goals.

Doctor's Choice is the online nutrition dispensary, primarily for the patients of Riverstone Institute.  Our mission is to serve our clients with Quality products, Business Integrity, with Fast and Friendly Customer Service. We are a small group of dedicated professionals located in the heart of Oregon focused on providing easy access to high quality supplements.  

We love to champion brands that have proven to be quality leaders and participate in scientific studies to help find products that work. 

Freshness 

In an effort to provide fresh, high quality supplements, as such, we do not keep large quantities on hand.  This may cause longer shipping times for items that we do not sell a lot of (usually an additional 2-3 business days).  To encourage faster shipping times we encourage you to use our auto reorder feature.  We stock more of these items.

Shipping

Our shipping times are between 3-6 business days. Sometimes shipping providers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) can get delayed especially during the holidays and times of crisis.  We provide free shipping to the continental US. Accommodations may be made on a case by case basis. 

Green Shipping

DoctorsChocie.org has worked hard to minimize its impact on the environment.  You may have noticed our biodegradable shipping bags.  We have switched to biodegradable packaging where possible.  We will ship all products with the minimum amount of plastic possible.  

We encourage recycling and reuse whenever possible. 

Returns 

We will gladly take back any unopened supplements. If your supplement is damaged during shipping please let us know so that we may send you another.
