Dr. Fernando Mercado

This is my wonderful doctor Mercado. The best part of Sanoviv is how in depth they look into your health problems. Unlike U.S. doctors visits, my visits with Dr. Mercado were 50 minutes each. Since he already had all my test results in hand, he could perform a more in depth physical exam. Dr. Mercado found the source of my tingling feet. It turns out I had a B12 deficiency and it was causing nerve damage in my lower legs. No wonder I couldn't feel my feet! I am now getting shots in my behind till I can change my diet based on my nutritionists recommendation. Dr. Mercado practiced medicine as any traditional doctor but he was tired of memorizing what prescription drugs managed what diseases. He then spent years traveling the world trying to heal people with yoga and energy medicine. When he heard about Sanoviv and their mission to look at the root cause of disease he brushed up on his medical training and spent an additional 6 months training through the Institute of Functional Medicine (out of Washington, DC). This training was provided to all medical staff members at Sanoviv through a fellowship with the Institute. Dr. Mercado now has a purpose, which is educating people on true preventative health.
