DR. TONI VARELA, NMD
I am a California State Licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor with a passion for integrative & functional medicine. I currently practice within Scott Chiropractic in Danville, CA. My intention for each client is to reach their potential holistically by uncovering the root causes of ill health, rather than merely suppressing or eliminating symptoms, & resolving their most difficult health challenges. I always encourage questions, & research information about the broad spectrum of innovative & highly specialized diagnostic tools, natural therapies, & medicines used are readily available. What mainstream medical professionals often overlook in their examinations, diagnosis & treatment, I intentionally pursue. There are often multiple hidden influences that cause illness. Environmental toxins, hidden chronic infections, food allergies, nutritional deficiencies, & interrelated dental problems are all meaningful factors considered.
After your visit with me, you will have a comprehensive plan & an individualized protocol. The underlying motivation behind any treatment program is to revive your body's inherent ability to heal. Therapies may include: Lifestyle modification, Oral & IV Nutritional Therapy, Chelation Therapy, Herbal Medicine, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Ozone or Oxidative Therapy, Homeopathy, Peptide Therapy, Regenerative Injections & more.
To ensure the best quality care, I am committed to being at the forefront of research & advancements in Anti-Aging, Aesthetic, Functional, & Regenerative Medicine. I am easily accessible providing online, phone, in-office & follow-up home consultations. For more information, book a free “meet & greet” 10-minute phone consult right here.
