Dr. Renee Young
Dr. Renee Young is a Naturopathic Doctor licensed by the state of California as a primary care doctor. Dr. Young specializes in women's health, including hormone disorders, menopausal symptoms, and weight loss. She earned her doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine at the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Conn. She is also a graduate of Moravian College (Penn.) where she received a B.S. in both biology and psychology. She was one of the first Naturopathic Doctors licensed in California.
A warm and compassionate doctor, Dr. Young is focused on providing safe, supportive and effective healthcare. She invests the time to get to know about you - not just your symptoms – so that she can create an individualized treatment plan specifically designed to restore and maintain your optimal wellness.
Personal experience with the limitations of traditional medicine in treating her own bouts with illness is what drew Dr. Young to her field. The detective work done by a naturopathic doctor – asking lots of questions beyond the typical ones about symptoms and health history – was what finally got to the root cause of her illness and restored her to good health. Now she continues this approach with her patients as she provides them with sensitive, individualized diagnosis and treatment to help them achieve wellness. She is passionate about Naturopathic Medicine because it gives her so many treatment options to help her patients.
Dr. Young's extensive clinical experience includes her residency as a primary care doctor at the Weight Loss & Natural Medicine Clinic in Cheshire, Connecticut. During her residency she treated individuals with a variety of conditions that contributed to their weight gain, such as thyroid disorders, menstrual irregularities, perimenopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome, autoimmune diseases, food allergies, and many more. Dr. Young has trained with some of the country's leading Naturopathic and Medical doctors in the field of Alternative Medicine. These include: David L. Katz, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P.M., F.A.C.P. at Yale New Haven Integrative Medical Center, Griffin Hospital; Tori Hudson, ND, expert in women's health; and Jonathan Wright, MD, bio-identical hormone replacement guru.
Dr. Young is a member of the American Academy of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, California Naturopathic Doctors Association and Bay Area Birth Information (BABI).

Dr. Young is an excellent and caring Naturopathic doctor. She helped resolve health issues that regular MDs couldn't and I'm in much better health because of her. I'd recommend her to anyone."
