Dr. Saul Marcus is a true healer…read more
I lost trust in conventional medicine years ago and have largely relied on holistic practitioners ever since, including naturopaths and Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors. I had been searching for a new naturopath closer to home and came across Dr. Marcus after finding his website and resonating with his philosophy and approach to health. Another thing that intrigued me was that he incorporates kinesiology (muscle testing) into his practice--a technique that uses the body's muscle responses to help identify imbalances, sensitivities, and areas that may need support. I had recently heard about muscle testing and was curious to try it, but had never seen it offered by another naturopath before.
What stood out to me most is that he takes a truly integrative approach to healing. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone or relying heavily on supplements, he considers the whole person, including diet, emotional factors, lifestyle, and even Ayurvedic principles. I appreciate that he focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause rather than piling on supplement after supplement or ordering a bunch of costly lab tests (we've spent THOUSANDS on them with the previous ND). He's also an herbalist and homeopath, both modalities that my body has responded well to in the past.
For as long as I can remember, I've struggled with chronic stomach aches. Over the years I've tried countless approaches--specialized diets, food eliminations, acupuncture, tinctures, supplements, topical remedies, aromatherapy, and more. Some things provided temporary relief, but nothing created lasting change.
I actually arrived at Dr. Marcus's office with a stomach ache and left without one. After following his protocol, I've now gone three days without stomach pain, which is remarkable considering I had been experiencing discomfort every single day for the previous two months. I even ate a slice of pizza last night (dairy+grains came up as something that weakens my body in the muscle test) and I shockingly didn't have a stomach ache!
My husband also became a patient and saw impressive results. He suffers from severe migraines that typically last all day and sometimes even two days. After following Dr. Marcus's recommendations, his migraines were nearly gone within a couple of hours.
If you've tried everything and still aren't getting answers, if you're dealing with chronic health issues, or if you're looking for a practitioner who takes a more holistic approach to healing, I highly recommend Dr. Marcus. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping his patients heal. In my experience, he's the kind of doctor that's become increasingly rare--someone who treats the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms.
