Dr. Mark E. Laursen (M.D., M.D.(H), A.B.I.H.M., N.M.D.) uses the modalities of Conventional Westeren medicine, Homeopathic, Naturopathic, and Holistic concepts to open the 
world of optimum health and happiness for his patients. Traditionally trained as a medical doctor from the University of Iowa, Dr. Laursen became disenchanted with the incomplete and narrow perspective of an “M.D.” practice alone. Finding it filled with far too many limitations and detrimental therapies, he began a quest that would lead him to become the first medical doctor in the United States both to obtain an Integrated Holistic Board and Naturopathic certification.
At one point, overweight himself, Dr. Laursen focused on finding the ecstasy of pure health. Using himself as a model, he contemplated, approached and engaged the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of his life. He fasted for 40 days, which advanced his spiritual consciousness and with great reveal, discovered that all these elements must be balanced simultaneously to provide optimum health.
Always interested in service and public education, Dr. Laursen directed a mobile indigent healthcare program in Los Angeles and has made several trips to India to provide nutritional and medical service to residents there.
In addition to practicing medicine in Sedona, Arizona and Savannah, Georgia, Dr. Laursen generates four health articles per-month for this site, lectures extensively throughout the country and will soon begin onsite protests at such retailers as Wal-Mart - petitioning the deliberately placed junk food that resides in a child’s line-of-sight at impulse checkout aisles. Dr. Laursen’s passionate goals are corporate responsibility and public.
His published books include “Start Living Stop Dying - 10 Steps to Natural Health,” “The Inside Outside Diet - Lose the Mental, Emotional and Physical Weight,” and most recent “Original Fasting - Rest Your Body, Awaken Your Mind.
Let Dr. Laursen encourage you to turn your health problems into creative challenges!!
