Hi, I am Dr. Renée West, ND, RYT, LMT, a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor located in San Diego, California. I attained my Naturopathic Doctorate from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), the oldest naturopathic school in North America, located in Portland, OR.
My passion for sustainable wellness began in high school when I watched my beloved grandmother die from cancer. Recognizing the failure of regulatory alphabet agencies in protecting public health, I realized that prevention is the best "cure". Our daily habits lay the groundwork for our health; they either promote wellness or create an opening for dis-ease.
I became a naturopathic doctor to deepen my understanding of the body's functional physiology and how natural substances can facilitate our bodies to cure themselves. While some naturopathic doctors may prescribe pharmaceuticals similarly to traditional physicians, this is not my approach. As the Del Mar Doctor, I use natural medicines from the earth, including water, sunlight, food, botanicals, herbs, nano-pharmacology & low dose immunotherapy.
I am dedicated to improving health outcomes to help you feel great and look your best!
When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active as an athlete, traveling the world, gardening and fostering kittens.
