Dr. Alex Kraft is a native of California, Dr. Alex Kraft completed his undergraduate degree with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and minors in psychology and anthropology from Western Washington University. In between his undergraduate schooling and
his professional training at Bastyr University, Dr. Kraft traveled to Central America where he learned traditional herbal medicine from some of the last native healers, or "curanderos" in the world. While enrolled in the Naturopathic Medicine program at Bastyr, Dr. Kraft had his first exposure to acupuncture. This opened his eyes to the organic, nature-based theory of Chinese Medical Theory, leading him to graduate with both a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2004.
Dr. Kraft believes in supporting the body's innate intelligence by strengthening proper physiological function. He also lives by the tenet of Naturopathic Medicine, Docere, which means "Doctor as teacher". This is shown in the way he teaches natural and health promoting methods to his patients for the prevention and elimination of illness. Drawing on both naturopathic and Chinese medical philosophy, Dr Kraft forms a partnership with his patients to prevent future disease and treat acute as well as chronic illness through functional lab testing, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and acupuncture.
After practicing privately in the Seattle area for three years, Dr Kraft joined Health Moves in 2008 to work in collaboration with other Naturopathic physicians and acupuncturists. He is a former adjunct professor of Human Nutrition at City University, and lectures to groups throughout the greater Seattle area.
