About

As a naturopathic doctor in Carlsbad Village, Dr. Derek Lawrence, ND, founded Revive Naturopathic Medicine in 2013 at 620 Grand Avenue, earning his doctorate from National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. His functional-medicine approach uses advanced biomarker analysis and comprehensive lab panels, a diagnostic depth supported by the genomic testing capabilities at Genome-Based Diagnostics on the Carlsbad biotech corridor. Clinical specialization spans chronic disease reversal, brain health optimization, gastrointestinal repair, and sports-medicine rehabilitation, all guided by a paleo-inspired nutritional framework addressing root-cause physiology rather than symptom suppression. Transcranial low-level laser therapy targets stress, anxiety, and cognitive decline, and the practice's sports-medicine protocols include post-injury rehabilitation plans incorporating EMS-assisted strength training at BODY20 Carlsbad to support joint-stabilization goals. Complex GI cases undergo lactulose breath testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth paired with organic acid panels to map microbial metabolite profiles before initiating targeted antimicrobial botanical protocols.
