Maxwell Muehleip, DC, known affectionately by his patients as Dr. Max, is a chiropractor practicing at Nutura Clinic, a naturopathic medicine practice located in Portland, Oregon. 

Dr. Max was born in Chicago, Illinois, and as a child encountered many health challenges. He suffered from constant colds and infections, asthma, and allergies. In middle school, he and his family moved to rural Wisconsin. There he was surrounded by fresh air, plenty of room to run around, and plenty of vegetables from the garden. Max’s allergies and asthma began to subside. He also met a chiropractor, Dr. Kurt Burbach of Dyersville, Iowa, who told him that chiropractors, like Jedis, “use the Force” to help people. This idea embedded itself in Max’s brain, and after seeing chiropractic save his cousin from neck surgery and his mother from nerve pain, he knew he wanted to be involved in natural healthcare.

However, in high school, bad habits and temptations fought back, and he developed severe cystic acne and frequent colds and infections. This followed him into college when after his sophomore year, lackluster grades and a sense of waywardness led Max to do some soul-searching. After weeks of focused attention, but he was finally able to articulate his life’s mission: teaching people practical ways to live fuller, healthier lives.

The next two years of schooling were difficult, and Max learned the real meaning of hard work. Max graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and was then accepted into the chiropractic program at the University of Western States, located in Portland, Oregon. During chiropractic school, his health improved. His frequent colds and infections subsided, his weight dropped to a healthy level, his blood pressure lowered, and his acne cleared up. This process wasn’t easy; there were many days when he thought about giving up, but his mission motivated him even on his worst days. 

Dr. Max graduated from the University of Western States with his doctorate in chiropractic; then, he graduated a year later with his masters in human nutrition & functional medicine. 

In January 2018, Dr. Max and his wife, Maya, welcomed their son Magnus into the world. Although he still encounters challenges pertaining to his health (his ‘dad belly’ is growing at the moment), Dr. Max understands that health and happiness are life-long journeys. He is currently finishing requirements to become a certified nutrition specialist (CNS).

Dr. Max is fully committed to you and your family’s total health and wellness. His goal is to help his patients live their lives with healthy bodies and minds, affording them the highest quality of life possible.

Humaira Quraishi, ND, MS, is a naturopathic doctor serving patients at her practice in Fort Lee, New Jersey. She aims to inspire, empower, educate, and treat her patients’ health issues.

Born in Pakistan, Dr. Quraishi immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was 4 years old. She has traveled to Pakistan throughout her life to visit family, and during that time, she gained an awareness of health and wellness in both countries. There were differences but also similarities, such as doctors quickly seeing patients without proper care or guidance into their lifestyle as well as the lack of education about illnesses. 

With these in mind, Dr. Quraishi knew there was more to health than just prescribing medication to mask symptoms. She wanted to get to the root of the problem and help prevent diseases in the first place. Thus, she began her quest into naturopathic medicine and nutrition.

Dr. Quraishi graduated with her Bachelor of Science in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. She then pursued her Master of Science in nutrition at the University of Bridgeport Nutrition Institute before earning her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the University of Bridgeport School of Naturopathic Medicine.

She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and New Jersey Association of Naturopathic Physicians.

Many factors play into health, such as the root cause, nutrition, vitamin and nutritional deficiencies, mind-body wellness, and education about diseases. Dr. Quraishi strives to use all of these in her own practice. 

Dr. Quraishi is beyond excited and grateful to guide patients through their healing journey and teach them how to heal themselves now and into the future.

Some may ask, what is a Naturopathic Doctor (ND)?  Naturopathic physicians combine the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Steeped in traditional healing methods, principles, and practices, naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic, proactive prevention and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. By using protocols that minimize the risk of harm, naturopathic physicians help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. It is the naturopathic physician’s role to identify and remove barriers to good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.

Naturopathic physicians work in private practices, hospitals, clinics, and community health centers. NDs practice throughout the United States and Canada. Qualified naturopathic physicians undergo rigorous training before they become licensed health-care practitioners.

NDs treat all medical conditions and can provide both individual and family health care. Among the most common ailments they treat are allergies, chronic pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, obesity, respiratory conditions, heart disease, fertility problems, menopause, adrenal fatigue, adjunctive cancer care, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. NDs can perform minor surgeries, such as removing cysts or stitching up superficial wounds. However, they do not practice major surgery. NDs are trained to utilize prescription drugs, although the emphasis of naturopathic medicine is the use of natural healing agents.

Morgan Tempel, RN, BSN, IBCLC, is a lactation consultant and women’s health expert at Newma in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Morgan’s personal breastfeeding experiences prompted her career change from a hospital nurse to a lactation specialist.

After graduating from the University of South Florida (USF) School of Nursing in Tampa, Morgan spent the first 10 years of her career working in the acute hospital setting, working in a step-down intensive care unit (ICU), labor and delivery, and postpartum nursing care. 

Morgan changed the course of her career after having her first two children. Along with continuing to be a postpartum nurse, she became a certified lactation counselor (CLC), providing in-hospital lactation care for new moms and teaching breastfeeding classes. 

With her experience and additional coursework, Morgan became an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). With her additional education and breastfeeding support knowledge she was able to successfully breastfeed her third child for 2.5 years, whereas her first two she only was able to make it to 6-10 months.

In 2019, Morgan left the hospital setting to open the Milky Minute and work one-on-one with new mothers, helping them with their breastfeeding needs at every step. After two years of private lactation consulting, Morgan realized that the need for increased supportive women's care was far larger than just lactation support. This is when she began to set the groundwork for opening Newma, which proudly opened its doors in August of 2023. 

At Newma, along with managing the business side of the clinic, Morgan continues to provide lactation consultations and th breastfeeding assistance they need before and after the delivery of the baby and throughout their entire breastfeeding journey.
