"I'm weak, I'm broken: There were just a lot of labels I put on myself. The labels were the last to go because they were the last to be addressed and acknowledged.”DR. ANGELA CORTAL















Dr. Angela is an Oregon-based Naturopathic Doctor who has made it her mission to change how we approach and treat chronic joint pain by reversing the causes of arthritis, one joint at a time.







She is passionate about this topic because of her own history with a debilitating knee injury that caused years of chronic pain, feeling stuck, and feeling like she was out of options.







Through her clinical practice, best selling book, and online education, she teaches her patients and the public her framework for looking at and treating chronic joint issues using a root-cause approach. Her goal is to help everyone experiencing chronic joint pain to get healing, moving, and feeling their best as Dr. Angela has done for herself and thousands of her patients.
