    Dr. Pepper Hernandez has played a pivotal part in my education as well as my own personal healing…read more She started as my reiki instructor and my experience in that course was so great I moved on to reiki 2. I have since taken a chakra balancing class from her. All the classes have taken place in her office space downtown that is absolutely beautiful and emanates such good energy. After having learned so much from her & growing a massive amount of respect for her experience, insights, knowledge and professionalism, I decided I needed to get the full experience and be seen as a patient too. Why not get the full experience right?!? We did the biofeedback and iridology and everything we talked about resonated on such a deep level that it really helped me step up my health/healing and take it to the next level. I'm still fascinated by all of this information and want to learn more! I plan on taking two of the upcoming available courses and am super excited to delve deeper with Dr. Hernandez and her staff. You won't be disappointed if you choose to see her or take a class. I highly recommend!

    Dr. Pepper is someone to count on. Not only is she guided by deep and intuitive wisdom, she is also…read morean academic and well studied practitioner of her many crafts. I have had the pleasure of being her student and client in both herbalism classes and body work, and each time I connect with her I leave with a deeper connection to myself and the world around me. She is whip smart, funny, and very personable and easy to interact with. She was the highlight of our class and a teacher that most of the students reached out to work with even after the class had ended. I really cherish my time learning from Pepper- thank you for being you! I couldn't recommend her enough.

    Disappointed! I'm…read morenot one to leave reviews, but Dr. Nathan Webb did not leave a good impression with me. It was my first visit with him as a new patient at Center for Natural Medicine, and I had to take off work to make the appointment, after waiting for weeks. Due to my busy day at work and traffic issues, I was 7 minutes late to my 1-hour appointment. I brought all the necessary paperwork that had been emailed to me and it was filled out prior to my arrival. I was ready to go when I walked in. Dr. Webb then handed me more paperwork to fill out after I arrived. I'm now repeating the same information onto more forms for the third time, which I've already stated twice before on the previous forms. After filling this paperwork out and handing it to Dr. Webb, we're now 15 minutes into my 1-hour appointment and he tells me he's not going to see me and that I'll have to make another appointment (weeks out) because it's too late. I explained to him there's plenty of time left to get done what we can and that I'm also a busy working professional with responsibilities and obligations, and I did the best I could to get there on time. I provided all the completed paperwork that had been emailed to me. He did not care. He said "Bro, you were late..." I explained to him that, at this point, we still had 45 minutes left. Again, he refused to see me. I explained to Dr. Webb that I was obviously upset, after having waited for weeks and taken the time to fill out all the forms, then take off work, rush to drive 13 miles to his office, and then be denied medical treatment when my time was still scheduled and available. His response was a calm and condescending, "You don't have to come back." After an already busy and difficult day, that was the last thing I was prepared to hear. In the end, it's his business and he can choose to treat people however he wants and deny service if he so chooses; however, I found it unprofessional and lacking empathy for a community he says he seeks to serve. Apparently, Dr. Webb doesn't need the business.

    Great place, Dr. Webb is incredible. Super nice, super caring, super good treatment. We have been…read moreextremely fortunate to have found him.

    I truly can't say enough about Aleah and I feel so grateful to have met her. When we first met…read moreAleah, my daughter (then 5 years old) had suffered from 8 cases of strep throat in the last 9 months and had been overloaded with antibiotics. She had many health issues since birth and had been seen by multiple specialists at Children's Hospital and UCSF. At our inital consultation, I expressed my concerns, exhaustions and went over her health history. I walked out of her office with a list of labs to request from her pediatrician and a new hope of the possibility to find and treat the underlying conditions causing her severe symptoms. Her pediatrician ran the tests without questions since we were regulars in her office and had not found a solution. After those tests, we had answers! I was so relieved! Again we were sent to specialists at UCSF, none of which could help. Back with Aleah, she discovered that my daughter was suffering from leaky gut syndrome, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, Epstein Barr virus, and some liver damage. She promptly put us on a protocol that honestly, at first, seemed overwhelming but Aleah was there EVERY single step of the way, even when I called her crying in the store trying to figure out what to buy. She never pressured me and even when I said I couldn't afford to do it all, she walked me through each step that I could. We now feel so empowered knowing how to treat the root causes instead of the symptoms. With each step, where we would have gone for antibiotics or medications, I put my full trust in Aleah to guide us through without them and as hard as it was, her protocols have gotten us thru every single time healthier and stronger. Aleah is truly magical and I literally recommend her to every client and family member spending time, money and energy in treating their confusing symptoms so that they can feel the same sense of freedom in treating the root cause. Rest assured, you're in amazing healing arms with Aleah Howington.

    I recommend Biodynamic Natural Healing with Aleah to absolutely anyone who is looking to improve…read moretheir health in any way- from small things to the most difficult symptoms and challenges with your body. I started suffering from stroke-like migraines and was dealing with constant fatigue and depression. My husband was suffering from the excess weight he had put on, body cramps, sciatica, irregular sleep, and hemorrhoids. Since we started working with her the majority of our symptoms have completely disappeared. I have not had migraine since and no longer feel tired or depressed, I wake up everyday ready to take on challenges and the world. My husband's hemorrhoids are gone and very rarely will he have a cramp and he practically never has a sciatic episode anymore. Now we both sleep extremely well at night and have gained so much energy and mental clarity during the day. And, I should mention, we have lost a combined total of 65 lbs. so far! Our overall body composition is so different and becoming lighter has taken a lot of stress and anxiety away- physically, emotionally and mentally. The weight management program works ridiculously well and will have you feeling your best every single day. None of our success and current state of health would have been possible without Aleah and her constant support and knowledge. She is so kind and has been such an inspiration, and has literally given us our lives back. Thank you, Aleah, you are a rockstar!

    I partnered with Rosa Health in order to reverse my Type 2 diabetes after unsuccessful attempts…read morewith previous doctors who either wanted to put me on drugs or have me convert to veganism. Before I had even finished the first phase of my program with Rosa my A1c went from 6.2 to 5.3, and I also reversed high blood pressure (for which I had been on meds for over 30 years -- no more meds!). I lost weight, brain fog, and fitful sleep and gained energy, short-term memory, and libido. Don't listen to doctors who tell you that you just have to live with all kinds of maladies because you are older, or post-menopausal, or that drugs are the answer. There is a much better solution and I'm walking, living, breathing, happy proof! THANK YOU, ROSA TEAM!!

Although there were incremental food eliminations, it didn't feel like any diet I had been on before. I experienced no hunger, my taste buds came alive and I enjoyed eating healthful foods, and plenty of them - I didn't feel deprived. Although I was on a short program, my labs showed significant improvement in many aspects of my health. The staff at Rosa are all so welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive. And Dr. Laura is just great! I wish she could be my doctor forever! If you have serious health issues, this is a great place for you. If you want to strengthen your immune system (especially now!) and find more energy, I highly recommend consulting Rosa Transformational Health. They can improve your health and you will get a good education about your health and body all along the way.

    My wife and I saw Dr. Smith intermittently for about a year. I initially consulted him regarding…read morethe use of peptides for insomnia and memory issues, while my wife sought help for histamine-related symptoms. At first, I was impressed by his thorough note-taking and the amount of time he spent reviewing our histories. In that respect, he appears to provide a high-quality service I agree with other reviewers who have criticized his prescribing practices. Even if a patient is already taking numerous supplements--which is generally inadvisable--he routinely adds more. Excessive supplementation can overwhelm the liver and other regulatory systems. A sound long-term health strategy usually emphasizes fewer supplements at lower doses. Based on my experience, he seems more focused on selling supplements from his in-house vitamin shop than on minimizing risk to the patient. His approach could best be described as a "shotgun" method. He frequently prescribed four or five supplements or medications at once, making it impossible to determine which product is helping, which is ineffective, or which may be causing adverse reactions. In my wife's case, most of the supplements and medications either caused side effects or had no benefit at all. More concerning was his apparent lack of interest in identifying root causes. My wife's care focused almost entirely on symptom management rather than diagnostic testing. It was only after persistent urging on my part that he agreed to order a breath test for SIBO. When the test returned positive for hydrogen-dominant SIBO, he dismissed the result outright--despite confirmation from her primary care physician and the testing company. After several more unproductive visits, we paused treatment and pursued further evaluation independently. A colonoscopy revealed small-mouthed diverticula in the ascending colon near the ileocecal valve. These pockets can trap stool, promote bacterial overgrowth, contribute to SIBO, and potentially trigger mast cell activation. My wife's symptoms align closely with both conditions. At our final appointment, I informed him that I had important new diagnostic information to share. Despite this, he continued prescribing additional supplements. Only near the end of the visit did he ask about the new findings. After explaining the colonoscopy results, he again denied that she had SIBO. This raised an obvious question: why were medications and supplements prescribed before meaningful diagnostic work was done? Why did I have to initiate these tests myself? My own experience with peptides raised additional red flags. My first peptide order was shipped from a pharmacy in Phoenix, Arizona, on a day when temperatures was around 100°F. The peptide arrived two days later already reconstituted, packaged with minimal insulation and a single small ice pack. Peptides are fragile compounds that degrade easily when exposed to heat or transport stress and should never be shipped after reconstitution. When I raised these concerns, Dr. Smith insisted the peptide would still be effective, but that is not what the science says. That shipment cost me approximately $200 in unusable product. I later ordered a different peptide during cooler weather. This time the peptide arrived lyophilized, but it took over 14 hours at room temperature to fully dissolve--far longer than expected. After injecting, I experienced flu-like symptoms and contacted Dan Smith again. He offered no explanation for the prolonged reconstitution time, no guidance on whether the reaction was normal, and no clear dosing protocol. Despite presenting himself as an authority on peptides, he could not provide a standard epitalon protocol or explain expected side effects or indicators of efficacy. I paid him specifically for guidance, yet was left to figure everything out myself. Ultimately, I discontinued use, resulting in another $300 lost--bringing the total cost of unusable peptides to approximately $500.
