MEET DR RENE
Dr. Rene Rodriguez has over 20 years of experience in traditional naturopathy & integrative wellness, including acupuncture, plant based nutrition therapy, herbal medicine, energy healing, meditation, and yoga.
Dr. Rene was born and raised in Los Angeles, dedicating the earlier part of his life to sports which culminated as a NCAA Division 1 baseball player at San Diego State University. As a collegiate student-athlete, he became interested in naturopathy and yoga, and began a daily health maintenance routine to help keep his body and mind in the game.
Following his athletic career, Dr Rene moved back to Los Angeles and worked a few years in the television and film industry, helping produce blockbuster movies, TV shows and sports programs. During this time he was introduced to acupuncture and began adding regular treatments to his health maintenance routine. The treatments were so profound and he loved the experience so much that he decided to attend acupuncture school and become an acupuncturist.
Dr Rene ran his own successful private practice in Los Angeles for 15 years before recently moving to Modesto, Stanislaus County CA, to be closer to family. He enjoys acupuncture, yoga, hiking, music, sports, and spending time with family and friends. His goal remains to help support others achieve their highest level of health and integrative wellness.
