He also attended the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, where he completed his acupuncture and Asian medicine training.

Dr. Nolting culminated his studies at Bastyr University by earning his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree in 1984. He was licensed as an ND in the State of Washington in 1985. He completed an extensive externship in Traditional Chinese Medicine that same year at the Chongqing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. He also served for several years on the Washington State Department of Health’s Acupuncture Board. 

The doctor maintains his national board certification as a Diplomate of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, which is a non-profit organization in the United States that aims to “establish, assess, and promote recognized standards of competence and safety in acupuncture and Oriental medicine for the protection and benefit of the public.” He is also trained as a  BioTE® Certified Provider, delivering advanced hormone replacement procedures and education to hundreds of male and female patients since 2015.

He has worked the past 18 years, and continues today, as a Senior Medical Director for a leading national well-being company (TivityHealth). 

The practice of naturopathic medicine blends modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic physicians diagnose, prevent, and treat acute and chronic illnesses to restore and establish optimal health. This definition and view of Contemporary Naturopathic Medicine leaves no room for junk, unproven or quack medicine. 

Dr. Nolting attributes his success to his unique blending of humor,  persistence, supportive upbringing, spiritual pursuits and exposure to different cultures, and science education. And most importantly, striving to walk the talk; eating fresh, organic, whole foods; getting plenty of exercise; doing tai chi; getting fresh air; enjoying friends, family, and the community; gardening; and staying active mentally with his studies and teaching. 

He has authored chapters on Acupuncture and Chinese Prepared Medicines in the past 4 editions of the Textbook of Natural Medicine (2-Volume Set) and the new 5th edition published by Elsevier. 

Outside of his clinic and home office, he enjoys gardening, spending time with family, photography, exercising, practicing Tai chi, and hiking.
