About Dr. Hernandez
Dr. Marcel Hernandez trained at Bastyr University in Seattle. After he and his wife and partner, Dr. Connie Hernandez, left their busy naturopathic practice in Vermont, they moved to theSan Francisco Bay Area where Dr. Marcel served as Director of Wellness Insurance Programs for American Western Life Insurance Company and maintained a private practice as well. While at American Western Life, Dr. Marcel developed and directed a revolutionary managed care health insurance program, which stressed preventive medicine and self care, and provided reimbursement for visits to alternative and complementary health care providers.
With Dr. Connie, Dr. Marcel has co-founded and co-directed high-profile naturopathic clinics in Brattleboro, Vermont, and in Palo Alto, California. (www.PacificNaturopathic.com). When not seeing patients in Palo Alto, Dr. Marcel is directing the development of a naturopathic retreat center situated on three tropical acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii (www.NaturopathicRetreatCenter.com).

As a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Marcel uses an integrated therapeutic approach to help his patients address their health concerns. Among the therapies he employs are clinical nutrition, vitamin and mineral therapy, herbal medicine, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, lifestyle counseling and bioenergetic medicine.
Although he practices general family medicine and is able to address a wide variety of health issues, Dr. Marcel has developed particular expertise in men's health, especially prostate and hormonal issues, pediatrics and digestive disturbances. He is the author of "Your Child's Health", a manual for parents that emphasizes nutritional strategies for raising healthy children. His new book, "Prostate Cancer: The Definitive Guide for Making the Best Decision", will be published late Autumn 2010. Pre-orders are being taken here.
