After dealing with chronic pain for several years, he found Naturopathic Medicine as both a solution to his health problems and a passion he could use to help others. This led him to Canada, where he graduated as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (2022) from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine - Boucher Campus (CCNM-Boucher Campus).
In his practice, Dr. Augusto believes in comprehensive integrative care. Finding the root cause that connects the patient’s symptoms allows him to address the problem completely and effectively. His goal in patient care is to not only address a patient’s main health concerns but also to lead to many side benefits like improved mood and energy levels as overall health is improved.
