Dr. Brett Appleby, ND

Dr. Brett Appleby is trained in holistically integrative primary care medicine.  He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University and received his doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from National University of Health Sciences.  As an LDS missionary, he served for two years among the people of Thailand, serving in numerous leadership positions, as well as teaching English in schools and volunteering at local hospitals. His passion for health and wellness stems from his own past struggles with a debilitating chronic disease and subsequent healing experience using natural medicine. 

As a primary care doctor with extensive medical training and experience, Dr. Appleby treats a wide-range of chronic health issues and conditions.  Utilizing a vast array of natural therapeutics firmly grounded in the holistic approach, Dr. Appleby successfully renews hope, health, and vitality.  His philosophy is simple—seek and treat the true underlying root cause of disease.  As a functional medicine expert he firmly espouses the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and lifestyle in determining the status of one’s health. 

As a result of his own personal health journey, Dr. Appleby has made it his life’s mission to help others overcome their personal struggles with illness and frustration with our current medical care system.  Now considered one of the fittest doctors in America, Dr. Appleby encourages others to self-educate, to self-empower, and teaches the use of holistic methods to prevent and reverse disease by supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Dr. Alexander Arrington, ND

Dr. Alexander Arrington grew up rooted in the land — born on an apple orchard in the hills of Appalachia and raised along the rural Ohio River Valley. That upbringing gave him a deep respect for nature, community, and whole-person care. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from the University of Akron and his Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

At Beacon Integrative Medical, Dr. Arrington takes a deeply individualized approach, drawing on nutritional therapy, botanical medicine, physical modalities, and behavioral health to help each patient find their own path to wellness. His background in mental health crisis intervention, work with developmentally disabled individuals, and experience teaching at every level — from Scouts of America to university classrooms — reflects a lifelong commitment to serving others with patience and compassion.

A lifelong martial artist, rock climber, and outdoor enthusiast, Dr. Arrington feels right at home among the mountains and wide-open spaces of Southeast Idaho. As a Licensed Naturopathic Physician practicing under Idaho licensure, he believes healing happens in partnership, and he's honored to walk that road alongside the patients and families of this community.
