The best healthcare in Lawrence by far.  – Nathaniel Brown


Over the past few years I have become more interested in integrative medicine as an alternative to traditional western medicine. I believe that I can achieve better health and longevity through changes to my diet and lifestyle, and by adding the right nutritional supplements, that will either reduce or eliminate my dependence on prescription medications. Dr. Sandal’s MD degree plus his specialization in functional and integrative medicine made him an ideal practitioner to help me achieve these goals.  – MH, Lawrence, KS

Common Questions about the ATMA Approach

  • What is Integrative Medicine?

    Integrative Medicine is a new medical discipline that focuses on ensuring the body functions optimally, no matter the clinical diagnosis. The clinic is run by Dr Sandal, one of the area’s foremost practitioners in this field. Every aspect of care is under his direction. 


    The clinic focuses on:

    ● Integrative medicine

    ● All kinds of complicated and many “untreatable” diseases including: 

    ○ COVID, Long COVID and Post COVID

    ○ Fibromyalgia

    ○ Dementia and Alzhiemer’s 

    ○ Diabetes 

    ○ And many, many more

    ● Holistic Primary Care

    ● Holistic Women’s Health

    ● Holistic Pediatric Care

    ● Holistic Mental Health

    ● Holistic Nutrition


    Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about Integrative Medicine. >

  • What does the Atma Approach mean for me?

    ● Every patient will receive the best care possible using all conventional and alternative therapies available from fully qualified MD’s trained in the science of both Conventional and Integrative Medicine. 

    ● We look at the whole person to discern the disease, and the most effective therapeutic approach.

    ● We seek the root causes of illness and take account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. 

    ● We emphasize the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient.

    ● We use specialty specific testing, beyond what is available at a conventional office.

    ● We will take the time to explore every avenue in order to get to the root of the issue. 

    ● With these approaches most of our patients get relief within 2 – 3 months.

    ● Whenever possible and effective, we provide natural and less invasive treatment options. 

    ● We give treatment options including conventional medicine and scientifically proven alternative therapies.



    Insurance alternatives aren’t the best option for everyone, but for most people they provide amazing coverage (full emergency care without the red-tape of conventional insurance) with much lower premiums and deductibles. 

  • Why should I try ATMA?

    At Atma Clinic we combine the best of both worlds: great conventional Medicine AND great holistic healthcare. 


    Atma Clinic is for those that:

    ● Need answers to unsolved health issues

    ● Are sick of doctors always in a rush, and long wait times

    ● Realize the cost of health insurance is out of control

    ● Want their own health decisions for them and them family to be respected

    ● Desire personal attention and care

    ● See quality care as a right

  • If Integrative Medicine works, why doesn’t insurance cover it?

    Integrative Medicine is a response to the limitations within conventional medicine. It is a return to personalized medicine, where the provider and patient work together to optimize the patient’s unique health. We all know that medicine worked better when it was “small town doctors” instead of “Big Business.” It isn't easy for insurance companies to adapt to this. The level of personal attention and dedicated care that Integrative Medicine provides is, by its very nature, complex and thus it takes time to create and execute. A typical appointment may take an hour, insurance companies typically only pay for 10 minute appointments. They see longer appointments as being inefficient and wasteful and penalize the providers who do not comply.


    Conventional Medicine is a “standardized product.” It was built to do the most good for the most people, at the lowest cost to society. And it’s a great idea! Unfortunately, the reality is not living up to the ideal. The increasing complexity of the bureaucracy created to manage and guide conventional medicine has resulted in:

    ● Growing inefficiency

    ● Longer wait times

    ● Shorter appointments 

    ● More expensive care 

    ● More dissatisfaction for both the patient and providers

    Insurance companies, seeking to profit from the system, cut costs wherever they can, and large healthcare systems do the same. Ever been told you couldn’t have a certain medicine because it’s “not covered?” or that a provider is “out of network?” More and more doctors are becoming unhappy with the insurance companies overreach, telling them what procedure and/or medicine they can or cannot give a patient. The focus is clearly on the bottom line not the health of the patient. Most patients see health insurance as a necessary evil they may need someday.

    Insurance companies are careful, calculating, for-profit companies designed to extract the maximum profit from their customers, while providing just enough service that people don’t look elsewhere. They do this by running complex risk calculations on what they cover and won’t cover. These calculations end up “working for most people” and therefore “most people” end up accepting this level of non-personalized, standardized healthcare. Again, if this works well for someone it’s great! But because of the complexity of human health, many people in that system aren’t healthy. They just haven’t heard of a better alternative!


    And as it turns out, care at Atma Clinic can be LESS EXPENSIVE, especially in the long run, than care in the insurance model.

    “If you’re on the fence, like I was, know this: I spent 10s of thousands of dollars trying to get answers from regular doctors. After only 6 months with Atma Clinic, and a fraction of the cost, my ‘mystery’ illness is solved! I can’t think of a better investment!” – Paul K, PhD, Lawrence


  • I’m skeptical! If Integrative Medicine works, why don’t other doctors know about it?

    Medicine is a rapidly evolving field. The amount of raw information in Medicine DOUBLES every 5 years. Most doctors don’t have time to keep up on the research. 


    This is why doctors began to specialize. Due to the volume of knowledge necessary to practice great medicine, it is not uncommon for doctors to focus on their own specialty and to know very little about other specialties. There are many Specialists: Cardiologists, Gastroenterologists, Oncologists etc. Integrative Medicine is a new specialty in Medicine. It is designed to keep track of the growing practice of treatments that are on the cutting edge of medical research including things like: regenerative medicine, genomics, mind-body connections, gut ecology, etc. 


    Therefore, Integrative Medicine has become the premier option for treating complex disorders often considered untreatable. 


    “Dr. Sandal and his team are next level. It’s amazing to have this type of care in the Midwest!” - Olivia H, Overland Park



  • Integrative Medicine is the Future of Medicine

    “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patients in care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease”  – Thomas Edison, 1948


    Integrative Medicine pushes the boundaries of Medicine. It seeks new and better therapies for disease and ways to understand the human body. 


    If you want the best new science in healthcare, look no further. In the past decade, the following Integrative Medicine ideas have changed the way we think about human health. 


    ● The Gut-Brain Connection

    ● Probiotics and Gut Ecology

    ● Gluten Sensitivity

    ● Early COVID therapies

    ● Ketogenic and Paleo diets

    ● Inflammation as the cause of autoimmune dysfunction

    ● Caution of excessive pharmaceuticals (“Too much management, not enough cure”)

    ● Elite Athlete Optimization

    ● Longevity Medicine

    ● Nootropics

    ● Stem cell therapies and Prolozone therapy

    ● Neurochemical hacking, taming dopamine addictions

    ● Many more

    “My care at Atma Clinic has profoundly positively impacted my health, as well as what I think is possible in healthcare today. For most of my adult life I've had chronic problems with difficult to diagnose symptoms that have made it hard for me to function. After spending years of seeing doctor after doctor, and having my concerns dismissed, it was a relief to find Atma Clinic. At Atma Clinic I am listened to. The practitioners spend time understanding my concerns, and researching my health issues. I feel the practitioners at Atma Clinic truly want to improve my health and quality of life.” – CA, Lawrence

"I designed care at Atma Clinic to be exactly what I would want for myself, my family, and my friends. Come back to a place when the doctor-patient relationship means something." - Dr. Sandal

Background & Specialties

After graduating from Cornell University (B.A. with Distinction, Biology) and the University of Kansas (Doctor of Medicine), I completed my medical residency in Family Medicine at the University of Arizona. There I studied closely with leaders in Integrative and Functional Medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, drawing from the best in Western and Eastern Medicine. Before starting Atma Clinic, I worked in a more traditional clinic, serving patients with many chronic and acute conditions.


Specialties include:

  • Metabolic Conditions (High blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, etc)
  • Auto-immune disease (Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Vitiligo, Scleroderma, etc)
  • Gut Health (Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Chronic Bloating, SIBO, etc)
  • Chronic Infections (Chronic Lyme, Strep Colonization, etc)
  • Hormone Optimization (Sex hormones, Thyroid hormones, etc)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Biotoxicity (Mold toxicity, etc)
  • Mental and Spiritual Health (Anxiety, Depression, Stress, ADHD, OCD, etc)

My passion is helping patients find their health. This may mean finding improvement in a complicated illness (the single most common story I hear is, “Doc, I just got back from Mayo, and they couldn’t figure it out!”), helping an elite athlete get that extra five percent and anything in between. I have a special interest in helping people discover a greater connection between their spirit and body.


I started Atma Clinic because I wanted to practice medicine in a more effective and holistic manner. My education and training empowered me to make a huge difference in my clients' health and vitality, but the business-as-usual medical system was keeping me from spending the necessary time and attention with my clients. Through Atma's subscription model, I'm able to form lasting partnerships with my patients.
