Verified listingAbout Redwood Naturopathic Medicine
What is Redwood Naturopathic Medicine?
Redwood Naturopathic Medicine is the practice of Dr. Kizzy Raphael, ND and Dr. Amanda Wilms, ND. Its main work is naturopathic care, built around nutrition, herbs, lab review and counseling. It has offices in San Carlos and Palo Alto, and Dr. Kizzy Raphael sees patients virtually in the U.S. and other countries.
The practice lists dietary and lifestyle recommendations, clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, mind-body counseling, bio-identical hormones, functional lab analysis, homeopathic remedies, and referrals to other providers or an MD specialist when needed. Weight loss is a major topic in its writing. Its articles discuss semaglutide and tirzepatide, along with the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. The practice notes that compounded versions are often used when a patient needs personalized dosing. In its own words: "Weight loss medications require more than just a prescription." No peptide therapy appears among its services. Madison Steele is listed as a holistic nutritionist and health coach, and no prescribing credential is listed for her. Google lists the practice with a rating of 5 from 14 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The first visit is a free 15-minute consultation, booked by calling or texting. It does not say whether medication is included in any program fee, whether it takes insurance, or whether it offers HSA use or financing. Membership terms and cancellation are not described either, so those are the first things to ask about.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the two doctors writes and monitors the GLP-1 prescription, and confirm the license each one holds. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether the drug is included in any monthly fee. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed on top of the program. Ask how cancellation works and whether you can stop partway through a course. Ask whether it accepts your insurance or HSA card. Finally, confirm the office and phone number before you book, since both (650) 503-3760 and (650) 503-3759 appear for this clinic.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic practice that looks at the whole person, with weight loss medication as one part of a plan, and you are comfortable with naturopathic doctors as your prescribers. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price, a clear monthly fee that includes the drug, or a practice that offers peptide therapy.
