Functional & Naturopathic Medicine in Carlsbad, CA

Revive and its doctors are not in-network with any insurance providers. Payment is due at the time of service, and superbills can be provided for most services upon request. It is possible that certain lab work may be covered by PPO insurance, but plans highly vary, so always confirm coverage directly with your insurance provider. If you plan to use HSA or FSA funds, check eligibility with your plan administrator before your visit.

Naturopathic doctors (NDs) and medical doctors (MDs) have a lot of overlapping training, with some important differences in our training and licensing paths.

NDs are trained to see the body as connected systems. Rather than splitting care across specialists who may not talk to each other, we try to connect the dots ourselves. We also ask why you are where you are, not only what to treat: a laxative can relieve constipation, but it doesn't explain why it is happening.

Our visits are longer, which gives us time to understand your history, sleep, stress, mood, attention, pain and past experiences, because these shape your health and rarely show up in a short visit or on lab work.

Dr. Derek Lawrence and Dr. Brian Myers are licensed NDs who can work alongside your primary care doctor and specialists; naturopathic care does not replace urgent or emergency care.

• We read labs for more than whether results are in range — we ask whether they look optimal, what they tell us about you, and how to use them to track progress you understand.
• We teach as we go. Much of lifestyle and behavioral medicine is something you do, not just take, so we make sure you understand what's happening and can take part in your care.
• We keep a broad toolbox, from nutrition and herbal medicine to prescriptions when appropriate, so you have options instead of one answer for every problem.

Every new patient starts with a free 15-minute introductory call, requested online or arranged by calling the clinic. After the call, we can schedule a new-patient visit. In-person care is available in Carlsbad, and virtual visits are available for patients in California and Wisconsin.

Our doctors see people with digestive concerns such as SIBO and IBS, thyroid and hormone concerns, chronic fatigue, and metabolic issues including blood-sugar regulation. We evaluate your history and results before recommending a plan; the conditions directory explains our approach to individual concerns.
