Dara Thompson ND

I live in San Francisco and was thrilled to hear that Dara Thompson now has an office location on Broadway (near Van Ness), so I signed up right away to see her. About 3 years ago I was working with Dr. Dara to boost my energy and overall health. Her assessment techniques are excellent and all the recommended dietary and supplemental protocols were excellent and worked out very well for me.
My recent visits have again proven fruitful as we reassess my overall health and revise the protocol. I am excited about this because Dr. Dara makes it easy for me to take better care of myself. I would have no idea about any of this, and having her expert advise has helped a great deal. She’s an invaluable resource and partner in my overall well being and physical health.
Also, Dr. Dara’s San Francisco office team provide services that are outstanding and unique. Check out their site,

If you have ever wished for the kind of doctor who treats the whole person, comes up with smart, tailored regimens to improve your health and does so with the best bedside manner in the business, go to Dr. Thompson. She is an enormously skilled diagnostician and her treatments are cutting edge and effective. What is so wonderful about her is that she knows how to get information from her patients in a way that moves them towards healthier habits and approaches to life. She also explains the science behind what she is doing so that the process is demystified and the patient acqures an active stake in the ouIcome. I went to Dr. Thompson to address feelings of fatigue and she put me on liveable dietary restrictions and vitamin supplements that improved my energy levels dramatically. In the process, she cured other nagging problems that I thought were just things that I had to live with. All of that was the result of Dr. Thompson’s intelligent and caring clinical questioning. She is a true healer, kind and compassionate, with a lovely sense of humor. Having Dr. Thompson as your doctor will change your relationship to your health care from the kind of discrete, occurrence-​based model that we are all used to, to an holistic model for active engagement and better living. It’s all rooted in science and in giving the patient the knowledge to improve her health. Like me, you will never go back to your old doctor.

I went to Dr. Dara Thompson ND to improve my cholesterol numbers. They were borderline, so I didn’t want to use pharmaceuticals if at all possible. The side effects were unbearable for my active lifestyle, and it was not clear that the benefits outweighed the risks given my young age.
Dr. Thompson and I searched for the underlying cause of my cholesterol numbers methodically using all the available medical testing to confirm or disprove our hypotheses. After a short time, we found that the cause was likely diet related. She recommended a modest change in my diet that was easy to follow. It just seemed like the way I should eat.
_​Within₂_​months_​my_​total_​cholesterol_​dropped₆₀_​points!!! This is more than could be attained by Lovastatin, Simvastin, or Lipitor. The only side effects were increased energy, weight loss, and overall improvement of mood.
We are now working on increasing my HDL. The HDL/​LDL ratio is my only cholesterol number that is out of whack. I fully trust that Dr. Thompson will help me find the root cause and prescribe a simple treatment.
I am confident that as long as I’m compliant with her recommendations, I will be able to avoid the pharmaceutical treatments for cholesterol while still lowering my risk of complications like heart attack and stroke.
