Dr. Heath McAllister is a state-licensed and board-certified Naturopathic Doctor. He received his doctoral degree, with honors, from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona and continues to teach medical students. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire, also graduating with honors (Summa Cum Laude).

Dr. McAllister has a long standing interest in digestive health and considers it to be at the core of wellness. He has personal experience with IBS, and as a child suffered from diarrhea along with fatigue and moodiness. It was from this that he learned that when digestion works properly, everything else seems to come into balance.

When digestion is not working properly, however, almost every major body system can be affected. Through effectively treating the digestive tract he has seen dramatic improvements in patients’ energy, mood, improved sleep, seasonal allergies, asthma, skin rashes, and other symptoms.

Having grown up in a small town in Maine, Dr. McAllister developed a deep love of nature. He is an avid hiker and wild-flower photographer and likes to get out when he can on weekends to explore wild-places. Before becoming a doctor he worked for the US Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Land Management as a plant biologist in the Mojave Desert.

Dr. McAllister also speaks Spanish and Russian proficiently, for those patients who may find it easier to communicate in those languages. To work with Dr. McAllister, please call our Santa Monica office at 310-319-1500.
