Anne Dunev, PhD

Anne has helped me so much. We are still working together but much has improved and as a bonus (this is only real to me and most can not relate) I gained weight, about 10 Lbs. Did not change a thing except for her supplements and treatments. Very happy!

I had years of gut issues. When I moved to CA I was basically having to live next to restrooms because I couldn’t stomach anything. I gave up on seeing my regular doctor and thought I’d give homeopathic medicine a try.
Dr. Dunev solved all my gut issues within a couple months and it’s been about two years and I’m still problem free in that arena. Highly recommend!

Anne Dunev is amazing! One of my favorite people and she has helped me so much. I refer everyone I know to her because of how much she’s done to help me and friends of mine. I felt so exhausted and run down and terrible for over a year and Anne resolved it in 3 weeks. I feel so much better and am so grateful to her. Thank you Anne!

I have been a patient of Dr Dunev for 5 months now, and see her each time I am in LA. I originally came to see her to see if she could help with a stubborn infection that was not responding to antibiotics. The medical doctors I saw kept prescribing new antibiotics, and had various theories about which antibiotic would eventually «do the trick». I was not comfortable taking antibiotics week after week, so investigated alternative options.
What I liked about Dr Dunev and the naturalistic approach was that it attacked the root of the problem. Rather than address the «symptom», which is what the MDs seemed to be doing, Dr Dunev used muscle testing to pin point which organs and bodily functions were under-​performing. Once located, she identified which supplements (essentially, food) would fill the holes in my diet, or those «holes» caused by natural aging. As a result, the UTI issue cleared up and has not recurred. Further, I generally feel more relaxed, both mentally and physically.
I don’t pretend to understand it all. I confess I do not have a perfect diet, and I don’t exercise as much as I should. But until that day comes, I am happy to have found a regimen that is easy for me to do with my lifestyle, and that I can clearly see makes me feel better.
Also, Dr Dunev’s calm table-​side manner, her certainty and positive-​ness, and her willingness to listen make each visit therapeutic in itself.

I went to see Anne a few years ago about a painful infection, and not only was she super understanding about the sensitivity of my situation, but she really knew her stuff. She told me things about my body and how it reacted with certain foods and allergies that I didn’t even know myself! But it all made sense once she pointed it out. Needless to say, she helped to heal my infection and it hasn’t come back since. Thank you Anne!

Anne is a very kind and sweet lady. I was having very bad insomnia and numerous other symptoms when I sought her help. As much as I’d love to say I found relief, I did not. Unfortunately after months of treatment and use of Standard Process supplements none of my health issues resolved and I had to seek healing elsewhere.

Before visiting Anne Dunev, my wife and I were having difficulties getting pregnant. But after 1 visit and brilliant analysis of the situation by Anne, a door opened up and not long after my wife was pregnant. Now we have the healthiest, most adorable baby boy and our lives are so much better. We are so happy we know such an expert in the human body and such a smart, caring person.
thank you for everything Anne!!!

I came to Anne Dunev after years of health problems. From procedures, to medications, to diet changes and everything in between: I had been through the ringer. I thought: Well, I’ve tried everything else I might as well try the natural approach and see what happens… I bought the special offer from Unilocal for the hour evaluation and went in with high hopes of finding a solution to many problems that had created such an unwell person. The evaluation is still something that I will never understand. Glass bottles of God knows what being held while she tested my strength and pushed down on my arm. Followed by more bottles on my abdomen and her hand opening and closing over various areas of my body as she did it. I still have no idea what went on or how the determinations were made. I was told that my system was very weak and wasn’t functioning properly and was sent out the door with a laundry list of supplements to purchase as well as a strict new diet plan. I was skeptical already as I could not find any scientifically proven documentation on any of the supplements nor any FDA approvals and they were only sold by ONE single company. However, I was desperate, so I put out the money for the supplements and gave them a whirl. Within 2 days, I was bound to my restroom like never before. I couldn’t believe that these «natural supplements» had begun to wreak so much havoc on my body. I mean, I felt bad but this just made things 10 times worse. I returned to Anne Dunev’s office for additional visits weekly each at an additional charge and each time I was told that the supplements weren’t what was making me sicker but that there was something «off balance» or that had «fallen out of place» or that my «never flow had been cut off.» I continued with this regimen for about a month before I could not take it any longer. I went in for a last visit to let her know why I was so upset and was still told that the supplements were not to blame for my ongoing issues. And what do you know? MORE supplements were suggested. I was told that I should be taking around 30 pills per day (that could only be purchased through her office) and that I would need to follow the regimen for a good 6+ months. I refused to take any more and I left. I feel as if the recommendations that were given to me ended up setting me back health-​wise even further. While I do respect what naturopathic doctors may be able to do for some people, I do not believe that her methods work for everyone. I spent hundreds of dollars on supplements and visits that did not help me and I am still clueless as to how it was all supposed to work. Within a week of stopping the supplements, I was at least back to how I felt before this all started yet I had to start over again. Conventional medicine is the only thing that has been able to keep things temporarily at bay and without it, I would’ve suffered many additional health issues had I not been treated conventionally. I was even dealing with an infection that was potentially FATAL. Now, there is no natural supplement that could’ve helped with that. I now know that this is not the approach for me and I still have anxiety when I think of those supplements and walking around the grocery store trying to adhere to the overwhelmingly strict diet plan. I have since met with an additional dietitian who told me that I should not have cut so many things out of my diet nor plagued my mind with such high diet expectations. Good luck to anyone who becomes a patient here… My advice: Save your money.

Anne Dunev has been a part of my family’s healthcare for years and it’s due to her consistently great service. Appointments are never difficult to make, Lucas helps run things nice and smoothly (including re-​sending me test results when I sometimes misplace them), and whenever I’ve needed an out of stick supplement they’re able to get it to me within 48 hours. Anne is incredibly knowledgeable and helps breakdown my hormones and inner workings of my body in a way I can really understand. She’s also helped me find way to heal my body in a natural way which is now my preferred method.

What a disappointment and a rip off. The 15 min free consultation went well so I agreed to the $ 140 evaluation to help figure out the source of my problems. 10 mins later, she had me out the door with a huge list of supplements to take. The evaluation was silly. Hold this bottle of herbs while she tries to push my arm down. Lay on this massage table while she sets a basket of potential bottles on my stomach. Makes no sense to me how anything she did determined anything, and I can’t figure out for the life of me why she didn’t take any of the herbs out of their sealed bottles. Regardless, I bought the bottles of supplements to be taken multiple times a day for $ 100. Then I went home, read all the labels, and Googled everything in an attempt to understand what I’d be putting in my body (like 20 pills a day) and why. The «supplements» are all only sold by one company which has been accused of scamming customers and changing their brand name to hide past legal issues, and none of it is scientifically backed or even supported by any sort of health/​nutrition alternative medicine anything except for by the company that manufactures them. After my research, I decided to return everything for my money back. They refunded me the $ 100 but not the $ 140 for the «evaluation». I feel taken advantage of and probably wouldn’t have gone out of my way to write this review if they had just reimbursed me in full. A half an hour of my time wasted is fine, but I’m still clueless as to what I paid for.

She gets me. I have never felt better, my energy and stamina have improved drastically and I love her common sense healthy lifestyle approach. Not to mention she’s a lovely person to chat with.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dunev for years now. As a professional speaker, symptoms of chronic Bronchitis have plagued me for 20 years and every Spring I could count on a week or two of laryngitis causing me to cancel engagements or «croak my way through» them. I had taken a battery of over-​the-​counter anti-​histamines which made me drowsy and weren’t enough to stave off my annual illness. Dr. Dunev’s simple regimen of natural supplements were the answer! She has me completely off of the OTC drugs and has brought my voice clarity back to 100%. No more Spring bouts with bronchitis or laryngitis. I’m even back in the recording studio working on my voice-​over career again! Thanks Anne!

She is wonderful!
I highly recommend her! I have acne since I was 15 and I tried almost everything– pills, creams, 5 dermatologist, homeopathy, bodytalk sessions. and no one helped me that much.
I have been going to Dr. Anne for few months and I see very big improvement. Hopefully soon I will have clear skin. She gave me a lot of great supplements. I do use blue light session at her office as well.
She is very professional and kind. She heels all body that you would feel healthy and happy :)
I highly recommend her to everyone!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dunev for about 6 years. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Dunev if you’re ready to improve your health and are ready to take responsibility. Working with her and most likely any ND is a partnership. We, as patients, have to assume the responsibility of learning from our doctors, asking questions, and trusting their guidance.
Before seeing Dr. Dunev, I felt that my health was spiraling downhill. Until seeing her, I’d only worked with conventional, western medical practices (lots of medication) — which in many instances, made me feel worse. I tried doing things on my own, and while I felt better, I was concerned that I could harm myself in the long run because I’m not a professional in the naturopathic field. after speaking with her during a 15-​minute phone consultation, I knew I found someone who could truly help me address my health woes.
After the first visit, I experienced noticeable improvements that excited me and encouraged me to stay the course. I’ve experienced a complete turnaround in my health due to her practice. I’m not always perfect in how I conduct my lifestyle (don’t always get the amount of rest that I should!), but I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 30s and mid/​late 20s. I continue to see her on a frequent basis — not because I’m sick, but because I want to maintain optimal health… I see working with her as an investment in my long term health and wellness. She knows how to address deficiencies and help my body heal itself. Her calm, compassionate, and confident demeanor are evident and refreshing. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always current with what’s going on in health care.
I feel so blessed to be one of Dr. Dunev’s patients. I can honestly say that she’s more than a doctor to me — she’s been like a friend and confidant to me. I trust her and knows that she has my best interest at heart.
I hope that you too will take the next step towards better health. Seeing Dr. Dunev would certainly be taking that next step!

I started coming to Anne several months ago, and I was in bad shape. I had put my body through the ringer with toxins. Horrible eating habits, pain pills for a horrendous menstrual cycle, and not a lot of physical activity due to a full time office job. I could feel how unhealthy I was, and was desperate for a positive change. Since seeing her one a regular basis, (about once a month) I have made a very healthy transformation. She worked with my body to figure out what was going on inside, and by doing so made me feel better and look better! I started garcinia cambogia a couple months ago and have definitely shed some much needed pounds, which is perfect timing for my upcoming wedding. The garcinia combined with other Standard Process supplements has restored my energy and put my body back «in sync». Anne has a «special touch» and works magic. If there are things going on with your body that you don’t like and don’t understand, I highly recommend going to visit Anne. She will help you get back to tip top shape or become the healthy person that you deserve to be! Thank you Anne!!!

I love Dr. Dunev!
Whenever I have an issue with my body or I’m just feeling like something is not right, I always make an appointment and see her. She figures out the root cause, and sets you up with a personalized plan to make you feel back at your 100%.
I have also had problems with back pains, and Dr. Dunev has this new LED light therapy treatment that has seriously helped with that. I am a Chef and I am standing 8 hours + a day, and when I have these back aches, it’s hard to concentrate on work and I would have to constantly take breaks just to sit down. But, after doing these light treatments, I have noticed a change and I feel GREAT!
I definitely recommend Dr. Dunev to everybody!

Dr. Dunev is a wonderful Naturopathic Doctor. She is very thorough and much more efficient in finding the source of my health issues. Regular doctors are useless if they can’t fix the symptom, in their eyes you don’t have a problem. She’s very good at listening and helping me understand what is happening and how to fix the problem.

anne dunev, phd, is a wonderful nutritionist. she combines muscle testing, body work and her extensive knowledge of the human body to achieve fabulous results.
her supplements are extremely helpful in giving us the nutrition so lacking in todays foods.
they work so well in tandem with her physical work.
she has actually opened up my ear canals and now i can hear so much better. in the process she discovered an ear infection which no other doctor was able to detect.
i give her my highest possible recommendation.
sincerely,

Look no more for a great naturopath!
Last April I got a routine physical check up.
Nothing much ever came up, so I was pretty shocked and upset that my medical doctor informed me that she wanted me to get a biopsy on my uterus because one of the test results was way over the normal range.
This specifically had to do with my test results showing that my uterine lining was 12 mm thick when what was normal for my age group was only 3−5mm thick. My medical doctor had already made an appointment with a gynecologist and insisted that I get a biopsy done as per the current standards I was in a ‘danger zone’.
She said I could wait a few weeks to get the biopsy done.
Which is when I called Dr. Anne Dunev and explained to her that my doctor was already saying things like «Well, you know a hysterectomy isn’t so bad.»
Dr. Dunev listened very carefully and did a few very brilliant things.
First, she checked how my body was reacting to the hormones that my medical doctor had me on.
It turned out that my body was reacting very badly to them. They were in fact, quite synthetic.
Secondly, she did a series of testing to see what might be the real cause or more basic cause of what was really going right and wrong with my body. From her tracking several aspects of outpoints, Dr. Dunev put me on a few different Standard Process vitamins and suggested the amounts of those I should take everyday.
So, since April when I had the disturbing test results, I have been on a more natural hormone provided for me by Dr. Dunev and I’ve been taking the Standard Process vitamin routine as was suggested by her as well.
Today I went back to the hospital to re-​take the pelvic ultra sound.
My doctor and the technician were both not particularly pleased that I hadn’t gone ahead to get the biopsy (which had been scheduled in April).
When I got re-​tested this morning my test results showed that my uterine lining was not 12 mm in the danger zone, like it had been,… but was 3 mm which is in the «perfect zone» of 3– 5 mm.
The technician checked it very carefully and said, «Well, your ‘natural doctor’ got it right. Looks like you were quite allergic to the hormones you were on and it is true that people can react very differently when put on hormones».
Anyway, this is a giant win for me not to have to go through all that «medical-​schmedical» stuff and I REALLY want to thank Anne for being SO SMART, SO CALM and SO WITH IT to have such a good grasp on how bodies like and should work.
It was not expensive, not painful, and actually a pleasure to work with her.
Thank you so much, Anne.
Love, Astrid

If you are in need of a nutritionist, look no further. I first went to see Anne almost 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I wanted to make sure that my soon to be baby was getting good nutrition to build his body with (I don’t believe in a one-​size-​fits-​all approach to nutrition).
Surprisingly, however, when I got on the vitamins that she assigned to me, my skin even cleared up! I had been battling acne since I was a teenager, and it had actually gotten worse with pregnancy before I went to see Anne.
I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and have gone back to Anne for various issues that have come up for me or my son since. Each time her advice is right on and fixes the problem. In fact, several times I went to the doctor first to fix the problem to no avail. But when I follow Anne’s advice, all works out just fine.
