Hi, I am Dr. Renee West, ND, RYT, LMT a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor located in San Diego, California. I attained my Naturopathic Doctorate from the oldest naturopathic school in North America, National University of Natural Medicine, located in Portland, OR. 

My passion for sustainable wellness began in high school while watching my beloved grandmother die from cancer (the big C). Recognizing the failure by alphabet agencies to protect people's health, I realized the best "cure" is prevention. Our daily habits are the foundation of our health, they either foster wellness or create an opening for dis-ease. 

I became a naturopathic doctor to further my understanding of the body's functionality, and learn what natural substances could help our bodies cure themselves. Some NDs will prescribe pharmaceuticals as a traditional physician would, that is not my style. As the Del Mar Doctor I use medicines from the earth including, water, sun, food, botanicals, herbs, & homeopathy. 

and I am dedicated to improving health outcomes so we can all feel great again and look good! 

When she is not in the office, Dr. Renee enjoys time with her family, being an athlete and traveling the world. She has also been known to foster kittens.
