Naturopaths near Santa Monica, CA

Hello - My name is Dr. Matthew Cavaiola. I am a naturopathic doctor who specializes in integrative oncology (cancer), hormonal imbalances (adrenal fatigue, thyroid, menopause, low testosterone) in both men and women and I use natural treatments for autoimmune disease, diabetes, heart disease, and low back, knee pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Some of the treatments I offer in my practice including: functional medicine, IV nutritional therapy, high dose IV vitamin C, bioidentical hormone replacement, prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), nutrition and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Naturopathic physicians are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions, while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind and spirit. At Ascend Integrative Medicine, we concentrate on individualized patient wellness through health promotion and disease prevention, attempting to find the underlying cause of the patient’s condition. ​ we provide evidence-informed therapies that balance the least harmful and most effective approaches to help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health.

I'm a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Board Certified in Biofeedback. I practice based on Naturopathic Medicine's foundational principles and Functional Medicine's systematic approach to address your health concerns. I help to facilitate your own body's healing mechanism through understanding and addressing the root cause. I want this to be a mutually participatory process between us. I will be supporting you throughout your journey because together is always better and together is necessary. What I want for you is more than just absence of disease. I want you to cultivate resiliency -- resilience of the body and mind.
