About
Pacific Naturopathic is the longest-established naturopathic medicine practice between San Francisco and Los Angeles, having served the peninsula community since 1993. Dr. Krystal Shelmire and Dr. Brian Cox have transformed the clinic’s prestigious list of therapies way beyond IVs to include many other modalities and therapies that are highly sought after and available to every age group. At Pacific Naturopathic, our goal is to help prevent and treat acute, and chronic illness, and help cancer patients while helping to restore and establish optimal health by supporting your inherent self-healing process. Focusing on the whole person, we take the time to identify and address the genetic, environmental, and behavioral/lifestyle factors that cause illness. Rather than just suppressing symptoms, we work to identify underlying causes of illness and develop personalized treatment plans to address them. We look forward to welcoming you to our practice.

Is Naturopathic Medicine Right for You?
The goal of naturopathic medicine has always been to discover and treat the underlying cause of imbalance or disease, whether that cause is physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
Trained as general family practitioners and in specialties, naturopathic doctors evaluate your health through comprehensive health history and lifestyle evaluation, physical examination, and ever more sophisticated conventional and cutting-edge laboratory testing. Today’s functional medicine specialists now emulate the naturopathic goal of seeking and treating the cause of distress.
