Daniel Seibert is one of the most learned and professional health practitioners I have ever met…read more The massage therapists he trains are the best I have ever experienced. No others in Northern California even come close to their level of education and skill. Their training in deep-tissue and injury recovery especially are far beyond anything I have been able to find anywhere else. I really miss them since moving to Sacramento, and may soon start making trips back up just to receive treatments at Daniel's office. The science and technology he applies is exceedingly rare, leading-edge and highly-effective. Many have considered Naturopathic medicine to be illegitimate or unreliable, but scientific research over the last 50+ years has proven otherwise, as leading-edge medical schools are now demonstrating with "Integrative Medicine" additions to their curriculum. Modern schools and medical practices, including injury and other trauma rehabilitation, now include many techniques and technologies formerly considered illegitimate or unfounded and therefore classified as Naturopathic or Alternative medicine. Don't waste 10-20 years waiting for this leading-edge knowledge and practice to become mainstream. Get the support you need now.

I am in my early-40's and have struggled with back issues since I broke a lumbar vertebra in a car…read moreaccident when I was 18. I have had LOTS of bodywork and sought out LOTS of medical support over the years, not only for my back, but also for other musculoskeletal issues and other health conditions. I have two young daughters, just turned 6 and 3, so I have been either pregnant, nursing, or lugging little kids around since I started working with Daniel 4-5 years ago. I have found Daniel to be extremely knowledgeable about a broad range of heath issues, and he has been able not only to help me with my back/neck issues when no one else has been able, but he has also provided homeopathic support for my sinus issues, which are now "fully under control." His bodywork style is very eclectic and different from anything else I've ever had. He does most of his work with the patient fully clothed, always checks pulses at the beginning of a session, and usually addresses neurolymphatic points first to release overall tension. This works incredibly well for me, and serves as a starting point before going in deeper with other modalities where needed. The frequency with which I have seen Daniel has varied over the years, ranging from weekly to less-than-monthly, as needed. Fortunately, things are pretty good for me at the moment so I have been seeing him less often. But any time my back threatens to "tweak" or is otherwise not functioning as well as I would like, Daniel is one of my first calls (often paired with chiropractic, as that seems to work well for me). I have found Daniel to be incredibly caring and his scheduling is usually flexible.

In 2007 I gave birth to my first daughter. She was only 5 lbs. 7 oz., and I quickly found out that…read moremy health was not stable. Gaining 30 lbs in one month and completely unable to get out of bed, let alone care for her,  I went to my doctor. She tested my thyroid and told me everything was fine. When I fought back saying everything was not fine she agreed, condescendingly, to send me to an endocrinologist. I was quickly diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and placed placed on Synthroid. "You take this pill every morning, and you won't have to worry about this anymore." If I had a nickel  for every time a member of the medical community said that to me, my family and I could on a Disney cruise! For the following five years. I struggled with infertility. Eight miscarriages followed; many injections, many tests, and no answers.  The weight fluctuations continued, as did the out of control rage that could overtake me causing out of body experiences. Why couldn't I calm myself down? I had a doctor laugh me out of his room when I said I had heart palpitations, and suggest I undergo psychiatric treatment for trauma. My feet hurt, my head hurt, my house was a mess, muscle pain and muscle weakness abounded and more than anything I was exhausted. The list goes on and on. In January 2013 I gave birth to a healthy 7 lbs. 1 oz. baby girl. Immediately following her birth, I again crashed. I gained 50 pounds in one month. I produced absolutely no milk, as with my first. And every doctor that I went to see told me to eat less. At this point I was a vegetarian, having just changed over from vegan during my pregnancy. There aren't enough carrots in the world to get me up to the 267 pounds I was. It was a nurse who pulled me aside and told me it wasn't my fault. That it was Hashimoto's disease. I finally took my health into my own hands. I started to research Hashimoto's disease, finding out that it was an autoimmune disease. Imagine that, five years of struggling with an autoimmune disease and not one single doctor declaring it as such to the patient. I fired my healthcare provider and found new insurance and subsequently met and broke up with at least 20 medical professionals. I found that being gluten-free made me feel better, however every medical professional I talked to told me cutting gluten out of my diet was pointless. We have come to find I have celiac's. When my second daughter was a toddler I had the good fortune of coming across Dr. Nagel's name on a list of doctors worth seeing. All of them were further than one hour from my home. The list had been created by patients who had been mistreated just as I had. They had finally located decent doctors, and placed them on a list based on the kinds of tests they would run and the treatment they would give. It was clear at my first appointment that this doctor was different. Dr. Nagel was so warm, and confident. He asked me questions no other Dr. had ever asked. Is your hair normally this curly? How do your feet feel? Can I see your fingernails, please? He ran tests and called me back for a second appointment. He was matter-of-fact and comforting about his findings, "You have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and you need to be put on bio-identical Estrogen and Progesterone. I'm also going to switch you over to Naturethroid, and I will continue to raise or lower your dose based on symptoms as well as tests." He also was fairly certain that I was prediabetic and suffered with vitamin deficiencies. He placed his hand comfortingly on my knee and said, "This isn't your fault. It's not your fault you are obese, it is not your fault that you have no libido, and I can fix it." I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Fix it he did. He placed me on an auto immune Paleo diet, and set me up with a nutritionist. Turns out I was fairly knowledgeable about nutrition but I had no idea how to go about losing this extra weight as a woman with PCOS and Hashimoto's disease. In the words of Dr. Nagel, "This isn't your fault, you could gain weight on a TicTac" I have been seeing Dr. Nagel for four years now and I will let my pictures speak for themselves. He's not just a doctor; he is an angel. Thank you Dr. Nagel for saving my life.

Also his nurse is very insensitive to a very sensitive topic. When I told her my weight, she replied "whoa, that's heavy". After I had lost 8 lbs she acted like it was nothing. I am giving him 1 star because the visit with the nutritionist was helpful but overall I was very disappointed with the money and time spent with him. I was expecting kindness and understanding, I left feeling fat shamed and judged. I have had much better success with Midi Health.
