Rachel A. Burnett earned her undergraduate degree from Bryn Mawr College with a major in biology and a minor in neural and behavioral sciences. Her thesis research focus was on the pharmacology of the aging process. After graduation, she worked at the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics in Salt Lake City where she was an author of peer-reviewed publications related to aging and inflammation. This work led her toward the interest in practicing clinical medicine. Having always been interested in health maintenance and disease prevention, she embarked upon her journey into naturopathic medicine that she felt best suited her needs and fit into her paradigm of what health care is.
Dr. Burnett earned her doctorate in naturopathic medicine and master's of science in acupuncture at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. She completed her Family and Integrated Medicine residency in Utah, certified by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education and sponsored by National College of Naturopathic Medicine. She has since opened a private practice, Utah Natural Medicine, and is a Board-Certified Naturopathic physician.
Although Dr. Burnett is in general practice offering routine exams and medical evaluations for families, she guides many women and men through the aging process, using whole-person centered care and often using bio-identical hormone replacement. She has a specialized interest in hormone and neurotransmitter balancing, paying attention to maintaining optimal levels for the best therapeutic effects for the individual.
She is a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, the Utah Association of Naturopathic Physicians, the American College for the Advancement of Medicine, the American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine, and is an active Diplomate of the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She has numerous certifications from continuing medical education conferences she attends regularly throughout the year, including those in Women's Health and Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. She stays current with the most up-to-date advances in medicine and enjoys combining evidence-based science with centuries-old medicine.
Aside from being in her medical practice, Dr. Rachel enjoys being with her family. She is an avid hiker and backcountry skier and loves doing identification of medicinal plants while on hikes. She particularly enjoys going on long strolls with her family, playing with her kids, and eating her husband's flavorful cuisine.
