In October of 2019, after months of consistent training and eating a Paleo diet with nothing but struggle, I had hit my personal wall. My health steadily declined despite all my efforts to stop it. My dearest friend stepped in and suggested I see Dr. Ryan Lazarus, whom she had seen, with success, a couple years prior. I pocketed my stubborn pride and made an appointment. I believe in our first phone call, I literally said..."I've read too much, tried too many different things and I'm done. I'm laying this all on you. You tell me what to do and I'll do it, no questions asked". So, he laid out a plan, sent me lab prescriptions for blood work, and away we went. For the first time I was working on my health from a truly holistic approach. Delving into meditation and intention until I found my own unique way of reaching the optimal state for my mind and body to truly connect. In the beginning my daily symptoms were: chronic fatigue, dermatitis on scalp and neck, muscle aches and burning from the slightest exercise, hair loss, mental fatigue, disorganized thinking and intestinal chaos to put it mildly. Today, almost one year later... I've reduced my weight by 30lbs, and my body continues to become leaner and fitter each passing week. I have none of the above symptoms...absolutely NONE. I sleep deeply no less than 6 1/2 hours each night; I am in the most perfect health I have ever experienced and that is even including my teen years. My hair has grown back thick and full, and through meditation and intentions I've been guided to an effortless way to eat and exercise that I truly love, enjoying every workout and every bite of the most delicious nutrition packed foods. I am so grateful for the guidance and care I've received from Dr. Ryan and his staff. Thank you so much for helping me regain and then go on to reach my perfect state of health read more

I have Type 1 Diabetes. My disease has been uncontrolled for the last 4 years with the last 12 mo's being a complete rollercoaster. I'm in good shape, exercise, sleep well, eat healthy and still had low blood sugar everyday. And the lows were followed by a spike. I just couldn't win or figure it out. I tried eating less carbs. More carbs. More exercise. Less exercise. It didn't matter what I did. After monitoring my nutrition, Dr. Lazarus put me on to some big breakthroughs that have completely changed my life. For me, it was nutrition. He helped me figure out that some of the high glycemic carbs I was eating were impacting my insulin needs for up to a 24 hour time period; not just a 2-3 hour active insulin window. Complete life changer. I've been a personal trainer & nutrition coach for 15 years and in less than 2 months Dr. Lazarus helped me regain my life back. Anybody with erratic blood sugar knows it takes a toll on the mind. I'm finally living a normal life again w/o chasing my high's & low's all day. My sugar was going low 27 times per month and now it's July 17, 2020 and this month so far I've gone low once with only a small handful of times going to 200. It may sound dramatic but he saved my life. read more

I initially sought treatment with Dr. Lazarus after shoulder surgery, seeking to establish care with a knowledgeable provider. From the start, Dr. Lazarus exceeded my expectations. He is highly skilled and quite frankly, the best chiropractor I have worked with over the years. My shoulder pain, which had been present for roughly 2.5 years, quickly abated. Eventually, my care expanded, to include wellness services. Seeking to better understand what was happening with my body, I approached Dr. Lazarus once again. He carefully crafted a treatment plan, focused on the underlying cause(s) of my condition. What I valued most about the experience was the time and effort Dr. Lazarus put into my care. Our appointment was not rushed, as is so often the case. He patiently answered all of my questions, and put my mind at ease. As a local clinician, I often refer patients to other providers. Dr. Lazarus is at the top of my list. I would not hesitate to refer patients or personal acquaintances in need of wellness (or chiropractic) services. Dr. Lazarus is conversant, well-informed, and perceptive--all desirable traits in a health care provider. read more

I have seen Dr. Lazarus for both Chiropractic care and for Functional Medicine and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for both areas of care. To be a patient of Dr. Lazarus is to have a partner in health care--one who has been a patient before and knows where you are coming from and someone who actively listens and works with you. In reading the two negative reviews of his practice, my feeling is that the individuals were expecting an "instant cure" of their complicated health problems and this is totally unrealistic. I have a number of complicated health problems and I know that healing takes time and careful management. You can't expect someone else to "fix" you without doing anything, like taking a "magic pill" to feel better. If you do, you are setting yourself and the other person up for failure. Health is not a spectator sport! And when you have a doctor you can trust, one who listens and cares, then you are in good hands. With Dr. Lazarus, I'm in good hands. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ryan Lazarus for chiropractic work as well as for his Wellness Warrior Rx program. My husband gifted me this program, and I was thrilled with the learning experience that I received about the intricacies of my body. I found, as an athlete and mother, understanding the human body with the knowledge and detail that he provides has proven to be such a service for myself and my family! He has created this program to be individualistic and thorough so that you're able to best balance your nutrition, any vitamin or sleep deficiencies you may have, and learn how to achieve complete holistic wellness. In addition to his personability, Dr. Lazarus provides each patient with a comprehensive spiral-bound booklet with all of your test results and information for the course. I highly recommend his expertise in the naturopathic field. read more

I have been a patent of Dr. Lazaruz for the past five years. I initially began seeing him for chronic back. Once I became aware he was also a functional medicine doctor I sought assistance from him for other issues including my chronic fatigue. I have found him to be extremely knowledgeable in this area. With his guidance I was able to devise a plan that restored my health. I had been to other doctors who offered little to no relief. With Dr. Lazarus's assistance I have learned how to take charge of my health needs.I am now able to do things I have not been able to do for many years. I have been given a new lease on life. I will always be grateful to Dr. Lazarus and his staff for their compassion and support. read more

The office staff are incredibly professional and friendly and never pushy. So glad we have this gem of a wellness clinic here in Napa! read more

I saw Ryan Lazarus for about 3 years while he helped me deal with adrenal fatigue. He was always totally supportive and upbeat, and I really appreciated his straight talking. I always left his office feeling we had a great plan that I could work with and that I would get better. It was a long journey of diet changes, lifestyle changes and neutracuticals but I am back to enjoying sports and have a much greater understanding of my health and wellbeing in general. read more
