I'm Dr. Ryan Kneessi, a licensed naturopathic doctor (ND) who practices functional medicine, which means I'm trained in natural, whole-person medicine and licensed by the Maryland Board of Physicians. If you feel tired, your hormones feel off, or your gut never seems settled, I'll help you look at the bigger picture. Not sure what kind of doctor you need?

Dr. Ryan Kneessi, ND, naturopathic doctor at Move Forward Natural Health

Meet Dr. Ryan Kneessi, ND

I am a licensed naturopathic doctor in Maryland. I earned my ND from National University of Health Sciences in 2013, I have been practicing naturopathic medicine since 2014, and I am a member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. I see people in my Odenton office at 1350 Blair Drive, Suite HH, and by video anywhere in Maryland, and I work alongside your existing doctors rather than replacing them.

The Root-Cause Approach

Listen Deeply

I take the time to understand your complete health story, so you never feel rushed through a short visit.

Labs When They’re Truly Useful

Most plans start with your history and my clinical assessment. For complex cases, advanced functional labs can reveal hidden imbalances in the gut, hormones, brain, toxins, nutrients, and more.

A Plan Built Around You

Targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes are chosen to support the deeper factors that may be influencing how you feel.
