You’ll leave with:
Dr. Natiya Guin is a leader in functional medicine. As a licensed naturopathic doctor and nationally certified health and wellness coach, she is dedicated to the deep empowerment of women and families in their whole health picture. She is particularly passionate about supporting future doctors and health coaches and dedicates time to mentoring students, offering preceptorship and trainings, as well as creating curriculum for UCSB, UCSD Extended Studies, and Bastyr University.
She is the founder of the Deep Living Wellness platform: connecting all areas of the health paradigm from emotional, to creative, to physical; empowering women at the center of their care. Here, women are given community and sisterhood by working with Dr. Natiya and her team (including Bastyr graduate, Dr. Des Harris) to receive personalized medical care, health coaching, Radiant Renewal retreats (which Dr. Natiya co-leads with Dr. Desi Bartlett), labs, high quality tailored supplements, educational resources, and her organic line, Deep Living Skincare. It was Natiya’s aim to heal her own daughter's eczema when mainstream medicine and topicals did not help that started her ethical medicine and skincare journey that inevitably led her to become a women’s health advocate and skin expert.
Additionally, Dr. Natiya is a wife, mother of 3, university professor, national speaker, and author. She treats many of Hollywoods most prominent moms and has been featured in publications such as People, VeryWell Heath, WomenFirst, Frenshe, Om Yoga Magazine and beyond.
