Meet Dr. Schenewerk
The Clinician Behind The AXIS Method
Dr. Schenewerk
Dr. Audrey Schenewerk built her practice on a simple premise: your symptoms deserve more than a shrug and a normal lab result. She holds a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, an accredited four-year naturopathic medical school, and completed an accredited two-year primary care residency working alongside naturopathic and functional medicine specialists. That foundation shapes how she practices today: looking at the full picture, not just the symptom in front of her.
Dr. Schenewerk founded and directed the first accredited naturopathic medicine residency in Kansas and has served on the executive board of several state and national associations. She has organized legislative initiatives that expand patients' access to safe, effective naturopathic care. That same drive to build something better led her to develop The AXIS Method, a structured clinical approach for women navigating perimenopause who have been told they are fine, and know they are not.
Before medical school, Dr. Schenewerk earned a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry and a Master of Science in biochemistry, then worked in research, teaching, and the in vitro diagnostic industry. That scientific grounding, paired with years of hearing the same story from capable, self-aware women who felt dismissed, is what shaped The AXIS Method: a coherent process built to guide you back to clarity, control, and strength.

Why I Built The AXIS Method
"I developed The AXIS Method because I kept meeting the same woman: capable, self-aware, and dismissed. She had already tried the standard approaches but still knew something wasn’t right. What she needed was a clinician who would take her concerns seriously, look at the full picture, and help her understand what was actually happening in her body. That way of thinking about health has been part of my own life for a long time. I was a competitive athlete from an early age, which taught me firsthand how much sleep, nutrition, movement, and recovery can affect how we feel. My background in research and biochemistry taught me to keep asking questions, look closely at the evidence, and not stop at the first explanation. Those experiences shaped the way I practice medicine today and, eventually, The AXIS Method. I wanted to create a structured approach that brings the pieces together, helps us investigate what may be contributing to your symptoms, and gives you a clearer path forward."
Outside the clinic, Dr. Schenewerk brings the same curiosity to her own life. She lives in Minnesota, where she enjoys hiking, whole-foods cooking with friends and family, and reading historical fiction by the fire.
