Dr. Julie M. Barter ND, LLC
As a graduate of the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, an accredited four-year medical school program, Dr. Julie underwent outstanding clinical training with some of the finest Naturopathic Physicians in the country. She completed internships in internal medicine, environmental medicine, gynecology, and acute care for underserved populations. As if one medical school training was not enough, she also attended Western States Chiropractic College to attain a high level of competence in adjusting and biomechanics. She takes a special delight in physical medicine, completing over 1000 extra classroom and clinical hours in Applied Kinesiology. She also holds Certificates in Herbology and Homeopathy.
Natural medicine is a second career for Dr. Julie, having worked in research at the University of Colorado, Boulder for nearly 10 years prior to entering medical school. She participated in NIH-funded research in molecular biology, immunology and neuroscience with an emphasis on pain in chronic illness. She managed the laboratory of approximately 50 researchers for five years, teaching others proper laboratory procedure and technique as well as equipment operation. This has put her in a unique position to be able to evaluate the validity and implications of scientific research on current medical issues.
Dr. Julie has also been an avid athlete her entire life. She used to be an elite amateur cyclist, competing at the national level both on-road and off-road. She rode about 10,000 miles per year for over 10 years. These days she sticks to running, enjoying about 20-30 miles per week on both roads and trails.
She takes an insider’s interest in helping other athletes to achieve their maximum potential and enjoyment in their sport.
She also finds great satisfaction in gardening, and finds the practice of natural medicine using herbs and homeopathic remedies derived from these beloved plants to be a very natural extension of her love and respect for nature.
Dr. Julie has a special place in her heart for helping animals big and small. Seeing homeopathy and nutrition make profound changes in the health and well-being of her pets many years ago motivated her to see if these remedies might also work for people! She still enjoys helping people to find the correct nutrition and natural remedies for their companion and working animals.

Medicine is a second career and passion for Dr. Barter. Initially, she worked at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth, Texas negotiating major systems for the fighter jets. She excelled at negotiations and was able to hit difficult company goals, ultimately saving taxpayers money.
Dr. Barter is passionate about chiropractic, helping people get out of pain and reaching their maximum potential. Chiropractic changed Dr. Barter’s life. When she was initially introduced to chiropractic, in her early 20s, she was skeptical. The more educated she became in the art of chiropractic the more interested and intrigued she became until she finally asked for an adjustment from a family friend that practices chiropractic. The treatment was like magic. He not only adjusted her spine but also her feet, hips, knees, wrists, and elbows. She felt new and light, like a better version of herself. He also took extra time to put her on a specific dietary protocol and nutritional regimen from which she realized major changes. She excelled academically, experienced reduced gastrointestinal upset, reduced brain-fog, lost weight, and started to enjoy activities like hiking because her foot mechanics were changed.
Dr. Barter has been active in athletics her entire life. For 17 years Dr. Barter was a competitive dancer. These days she has put her dancing shoes aside and now can be found running, performing yoga, hiking, lifting weights or walking her Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Ritz. She knows what it takes to be an athlete and she finds great satisfaction in helping athletes reach their maximum potential.
