Get to know Functional Medicine Specialist, Daniel L. Rasmussen, who serves patients in Seattle, Washington.

Daniel Rasmussen is a National Board Certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. He is licensed to practice East Asian Medicine in the state of Washington, as well as certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). “My first exposure to Eastern medicine occurred when I was growing up and witnessed my mom go through years of symptom-focused medications that left her in a state of untreatable mental fog, suicidal depression and extreme fatigue. She met an Doctor of Asian Medicine and Acupuncturist who determined that her liver was congested, her digestive system was inflammed and her immune system was weak. After four short months of treatment with emotional work, detox, acupuncture, nutrition and Chinese herbs, she was able to eliminate all her medications. Long story short, I got my mom back and to this day, she is one of the most positive, inspirational people in my life! Her process had a huge impact on me and as a result, I fell in love with this amazing medicine!” said Daniel.

Daniel is currently serving patients at Pinnacle Integrative Medicine, located in Seattle, Washington. The practice remains dedicated to providing the highest level of holistic care by having acupuncturists and western medical doctors working side by side as a team.

Daniel graduated from the prestigious Bastyr University in 2008, earning a Master of Science degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He also completed an internship at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he gained significant clinical experience seeing more than 50 patients per day.

Daniel is a recognized public and corporate wellness speaker presenting a series of workshops that educate and inspire others take action to improve their health proactively.  He inspires his audiences to make practical, simple and easy alterations to their daily routines, as well as demonstrates how choosing to be positive and self-affirming is the key to living a full live.

Functional Medicine (FM) is systems-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapies. As an integrative medicine specialist, Daniel Rasmussen strives to help as many patients as he can get healthy and find relief from pain naturally.

In his spare time, Daniel enjoys rigorous outdoors activities, including backpacking, camping, skiing, rock climbing, and cycling. He also enjoys eating healthy and cooking with fresh organic ingredients. His family is extraordinarily important to him and he considers some of his closest friends as family.
