About Dr. Dan Lukaczer, ND
Naturopathic Physician and IFM Certified Practitioner
About Me
I have been a Naturopathic Doctor for over 30 years. I received my undergraduate degree from Duke University and my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington.
Early in my career, I became deeply involved in the development and application of functional medicine. I previously served as Director of Clinical Research at Metagenics’ Functional Medicine Research Center and later as Director of Medical Education at the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), where I taught functional medicine concepts to clinicians worldwide.
In 2025, I stepped away from my formal role at IFM. I continue to see patients virtually on a limited basis, consult with clinicians and organizations, and focus on expanding online classes and group-based educational programs that translate functional and integrative principles into practical, sustainable care.
My Practice
I see all patients virtually. A virtual or telemedicine visit is an appointment over a video connection rather than in person. It is convenient and secure and can be done easily wherever you happen to be as long as you have a phone, computer, and internet access.
Areas of Expertise
I see a variety of people with different health issues, and over the years I’ve gained a significant amount of experience and expertise using the systems-based, functional medicine approach in these conditions:
- Digestive: including IBS, IBD, GERD, and SIBO
- Autoimmune: including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome, and Celiac Disease
- Cardiovascular and blood sugar: including Hyperlipidemia, Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, Prediabetes, and Diabetes
- Unexplained Fatigue: including ME/CFS Fibromyalgia, and fatigue secondary to other causes.
