Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture when he was a teenager in Los Angeles. He enrolled in the PhD program of Buddhist Studies at University of Wisconsin. He also went to Asia and did intensive training in the three Buddhist traditions – Vajrayana, Zen, and Vipassana. Upon returning to the United States,

Shinzen’s interests shifted to a dialogue between Eastern internal science and Western technological science. The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology has awarded him an
honorary doctorate for the work he has done. Shinzen’s innovative techniques for pain management derive from two sources. The first is his personal experience dealing with
discomfort dealing with intense periods of meditation in Asia and during shamanic ceremonies with tribal cultures. The second is some three decades of experience in
coaching people through a wide spectrum of chronic and acute pain challenges.

Shinzen leads meditation retreats in the mindfulness tradition throughout North
America and has helped establish several centers and programs.

Dr. DeAndrea has been described as a “Jack of all Trades,” by his colleagues. He uses acupuncture, aromatherapy, nutrition, herbology, Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, creative visualization, colon hydrotherapy, physical therapy, hypnotherapy, oxygen therapy, chelation and the traditional allopathic treatments to create personalized healing prescriptions for his clients.

Dr. DeAndrea combines traditional and complimentary diagnostic techniques with a unique intuitive sense. His treatments are aimed at addressing the physical, psychological and spiritual components of healing to attune a person to the greatest result.

After medical school doctor D studied Internal Medicine and General Surgery, stuck with the system and then had a change in focus.

Disheartened with Western Medicine and the “dangling carrot” cure mentality he sought an alternative approach. Along the way he experienced everything from folk healing to psychedelic shamanism.

In 1997 NBC, ABC and Hard Copy reported that heart disease, diabetes, cancer and even AIDS cases were reversed in a little ghetto clinic when the “holy cure” was replaced with good old fashioned healing. “Curing is for pickles, healing is for people,” says Doctor DeAndrea.

Above all doctor D believes healing can be fun. In 1998, he and Woody Harrelson joined forces to open the first oxygen bar in America. The bar introduced living foods, herbal drinks and oxygen as the most healthy way to party!

Dr. DeAndrea is co-founder of the 21 Day Detox, a program that teaches people how to be their own doctor. His program was featured on Lifetime Television, CNN and CBS: 48 Hours in 2003. He is the author of The Fat Cure, the secrets to rapid and permanent weight loss launched in 2007 on a nationwide cable television infomercial campaign.

Dr. DeAndrea is presently the Chief of Integrative Medicine for MediCann, the state leader in Medical Marijuana recommendations with nine locations in California. doctor D always integrates his treatments with green medicine. His goal is to use the best of both the East and the West to get the most successful result for the patient.
Dr. DeAndrea is a nationally recognized author, correspondent and speaker that is dedicated to helping people.

Born and raised in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC, Dr. D is an avid surfer and yoga practitioner.
