Dr. Peter Kassner, ND, NMD, is a naturopathic physician and the founding owner of Health Natura, LLC — a family-owned supplement company celebrating over 30 years of excellence in integrative wellness. With graduate and doctoral degrees in Naturopathic Medicine from First National University of Naturopathy, Dr. Kassner has spent more than three decades at the forefront of natural health, combining rigorous scientific training with a deep commitment to helping real people feel their best.
His passion for natural medicine ignited early — long before most practitioners ever set foot in a clinic. He completed his first apprenticeship before finishing high school, and by 1996, had opened Clinical Therapeutics, a holistic pain clinic in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Over the following 16 years in clinical practice, Dr. Kassner worked with patients dealing with complex and often difficult-to-treat conditions, including hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, Lyme disease, immunological issues, chronic infectious disease, neuro-immunology, endocrine dysfunction, and cancer support.
In 2005, the practice was renamed Health Natura, LLC to reflect an expanding mission: to bring integrative medicine and healing tools directly to as many people as possible. A year later, Dr. Kassner launched the company's first custom supplement compounding lab. In 2012, he retired from direct clinical practice to focus entirely on Health Natura's supplement program — driven by his frustration with the poor quality standards he saw across the supplement industry.
Today, Dr. Kassner oversees the formulation and philosophy behind every product Health Natura offers. His guiding principle: high quality, minimal ingredients, no unnecessary fillers, preservatives, or excipients. Health Natura products are designed to be clean, effective, and honest — the kind of supplement Dr. Kassner himself would use.
Dr. Kassner holds extensive credentials and continuing education spanning both Eastern and Western natural healing traditions. He has studied and traveled throughout North America and Asia to deepen his understanding of natural medicine. His areas of training and certification include:
- Naturopathic Medicine (Master's & Doctoral degrees), First National University of Naturopathy

Philosophy
"We’re not another big box brand selling cheap products with high margins. We focus on high quality, low volume, with a personal touch from the owners."
Dr. Kassner’s philosophy is simple: people deserve supplements that work, made by someone who actually understands the science and has used these tools clinically. Every product at Health Natura reflects decades of hands-on experience — not a marketing team’s best guess.
Disclosure
Dr. Kassner founded Health Natura and has a direct financial interest in the products sold here. His recommendations are based on 30 years of clinical experience — but you should know he's both the author and the maker. We think that's a feature, not a bug.
