Augusto Benavides Panizo
Dr. Augusto Benavides Panizo is a Naturopathic Doctor focused on a holistic approach to physical medicine and chronic pain. He also supports his patients in a primary care role, treating conditions related to hormonal health, digestive problems, and chronic stress.
Born and raised in Peru, Dr. Augusto started his professional education by studying Biology for 2 years at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), before transferring to the United States. In the US, he completed his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (2016) from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
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 not only to address a patient’s main health concerns but also to help them achieve many side benefits, such as improved mood and energy levels, as their overall health improves.
