Dr. Keoni Teta grew up in Winston-Salem and considers North Carolina his only
home.  His passion to practice the art and science of medicine stems from the
following primary sources:
  • His grandfather, Dr. Joseph Teta, (who practiced medicine in Elkin and
    Sparta, NC)
  • His many childhood jaunts through the beautiful backwoods of NC
  • His love of art (specifically calligraphy) which was nurtured and influenced
    by  his mother, Joyce Teta, and
  • His study and clinical experience with homeopathy.

Dr. Teta did his undergraduate study at North Carolina State University where he
obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in both Biochemistry and Chemical
Engineering.  Desiring to continue his education, Dr. Teta was honored with a
scholarship to study Environmental Engineering at North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical University where he received his Masters of Science. After working for a
couple of years as an Environmental Engineer, Dr. Teta decided to study medicine
at Bastyr University with his brother Jade.  There he received his Doctorate in
Naturopathic Medicine as well as a Masters of Science in Acupuncture.  He is a
board certified and licensed primary care physician in the state of Washington and
a licensed acupuncturist in the state of North Carolina.  

Based on many years of experience as a personal trainer, Dr. Teta believes that
exercise is among the most important foundations of good health. Dr. Teta, like
his brother, also carries advanced certifications, one in exercise from the American
College of Sports Medicine (ACSM Health/Fitness Instructor) and another as a
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength
and Conditioning Association.

Dr. Teta is a co-founder of The Naturopathic Health Clinic of North Carolina and a
co-founder of the holistic fitness and lifestyle company Metabolic Effect.

Dr. Teta is an integrative health consultant to all health care providers from
personal trainers to medical doctors.  Dr. Teta specializes in weight loss and
weight management as well as therapeutic nutrition and supplementation.  Dr.
Teta also utilizes acupuncture for pain management and addictive behaviors.
