Dr. Castanho has been a huge blessing. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I suffered from hives, eczema, feeling constantly tired and getting sick all of the time. After seeing many doctors I lost hope in getting better. They would prescribe steroids as a temporary relief and they were unable to figure out the underline conditions. Not only did Dr. Castanho figure out the underline conditions, but he was also able to get me off of all of my prescription meds! He is very knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to answer any questions. I feel like like a whole new person! My only regret was not finding him sooner.

Do yourself a favor and see this miracle-worker! I started seeing Dr. Castanho four months ago for asthma symptoms. I had been taking asthma maintenance medication daily for over 15 years, and I didn't want to be a slave to medicine/the pharmaceutical industry anymore. All the doctors I had seen during my life (and there have been many), told me I wouldn't be able to get off the medication. I decided to try a Naturopathic Doctor because after years of going to the same type of doctor and hearing that they couldn't help me achieve my health goals, I wanted to try something new. Thank God I found Dr. Castanho. He listened to my health history and health goals, ordered bloodwork, and recommended a supplement regimen and new diet based on my deficiencies. It has only been four months and I have improved tremendously! He has accomplished, in a short time, what so many other doctors said was impossible. I am off the asthma medication and feeling great! Dr. Castanho finds and treats the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. I also appreciate that he really listens to what I say. I don't feel like just another patient. Under Dr. Castanho's care, I know I am being treated as an individual person with a specific problem, not just grouped in a blanket "asthma" category. Dr. Castanho is worth every penny!

Dr. Castanho is very thorough and takes extra time to review my holistic health instead of focusing on one area. I was actually having kidney issues so my PCP sent me to a kidney specialist and the specialist had me to do a lot of blood and lab work and still, after 6 months, couldn't figure out what was going on. He wanted to do a biopsy and that was when I said, wait a minute and looked for a Naturopath for a holistic approach. Dr. Castanho put me on natural supplements and after 3 weeks my kidneys were healed. My kidney specialist was completely shocked but also so very grateful for my outcome. I continue to see Dr. Castanho because I value his care, support, knowledge and experience, kindness and time he spends supporting my wellbeing.

I would highly recommend Dr. Castanho, not only for anyone who is suffering from health issues, but also for anyone who is looking specifically for fertility and conception support. I first began seeing Dr. Castanho about 3 years ago in order to address a slew of residual symptoms and issues that stemmed from a previous Lyme Disease diagnosis. Not only did Dr. Castanho quickly and effectively address each of those issues (food intolerances, vitamin deficiencies, muscle pain, fatigue, etc.) but he continued to be an amazing support and resource to me for the coming years. I was able to reach a new level of health that I have since maintained through his consistent help and guidance. Additionally, within those 3 years of being his patient, my husband and I began trying for a family. It was so helpful to have Dr. Castanho as my provider at that time because he was able to truly provide me with the most beneficial advice in regards to fertility health. Specifically, his nutrition counseling and his knowledge about the importance of balancing hormones was extremely helpful, and he was able to monitor certain hormone levels through bloodwork to provide me with specific information in order to help me conceive. Then throughout my first pregnancy, he was a huge asset in providing me knowledge and advice regarding how to maintain a healthy pregnancy and prepare for labor. It was great to have him as a resource in addition to my OB because he is always available to answer questions or provide reassurance, support, or advice whenever it is needed. About a year after my first child was born, I was able to get pregnant very quickly with my second and I believe that is largely due to my continued work with Dr. Castanho. I felt as though I was at my healthiest during (and in between) my two pregnancies. I am extremely grateful that I have Dr. Castanho as my provider during this time, and feel as though his naturopathic approach to fertility and conception has been key to my success and my continued health. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for support through their journey into motherhood, or for anyone who is having difficulty getting pregnant and wants to take a low-intervention, naturopathic approach to conceiving.

I started seeing Dr Castanho for stomach problems and major hair thinning/extremely weak nails. I was getting frustrated with my regular doctor for always prescribing me new medications without trying to find the root cause of the issue. It was a different experience with Dr Castanho. He listened to all of my complications and helped give me a natural way get my body feeling great. I have seen significant improvements and have now stopped all harsh medications thanks to all of his guidance and natural supplements. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a doctor who is very knowledgeable and truly listens to help you find a natural way to start feeling like your best self.

You're stuck with me Dr.Castanho! Physically, I was a total mess when I first went to Dr. Castanho. I had an overall feeling of being unwell. I had poor sleeping patterns, constant brain fog, skin issues and I was very lethargic. Four months later, I am amazed at how good I feel in comparison to my first visit. A lot of my health issues have been resolved. I feel so energized and clear headed. More than anything, I appreciated that I was not treated like I was at a meat processing plant. Dr. Castanho is very professional, he listens to all of your health concerns and addresses each one without judgement. Knowing that I intended to join a fitness center, he even suggested a workout plan with my previous injuries and health issues in mind. I have never felt this safe with a doctor. Do not hesitate to book your appointment. You're in good hands!

I have been suffering from complications from Type 2 Diabetes and stomach issues for close to 5 years and my doctor was never able to spend enough time with me to help. I was getting sicker and I needed a better way.....bad. So, I found Dr. Matt after trying and loving one of his supplements I discovered at my Big Y. The experience was unbelievable. We talked for an hour! Again.....that was 1 HOUR. It was crazy. All the stuff that I have been suffering with and more I could bring up and discuss. It was the greatest healthcare experience I ever had. If that was not enough, after several months with his guidance, my stomach issues are gone and my diabetes is completely controlled by diet and vitamins alone. I have a new doctor, but more importantly for the first time in my life, I found a partner in my health. Thank you!

Wethersfield, CT

Since mid-December 2021, Dr. Castanho and I have been working together to determine and resolve the root cause of various ailments that have significantly impacted the quality of my life. This included severe digestive issues where my body was not absorbing the appropriate nutrients needed to sustain a healthy life, resulting me losing 38 pounds in 30 days. Additionally, there was a high amount of inflammation in certain parts of my body causing acute sharp pain. This prevented me from being able to move around and made the most-simplest tasks, that we all take for granted, very challenging. The various conventional medications prescribed had no effect on reducing the inflammation nor did they eliminate the sharp pain. Instead, the meds created more havoc on my digestive system. Based on our sessions and the results of my bloodwork, Dr Castanho developed a multi-phase plan to address these issues. This included, but was not limited to, an appropriate nutritional plan supported by a specific supplement protocol. After about 30 days, my digestion began absorbing nutrients and we were able to start incorporating an exercise program to help regain my strength and energy back. The human body is very complex and takes time to heal. I know we are not 100% but we are moving in the right direction and I have a tremendous amount of faith in achieving my optimal health. I recommend Dr. Castanho to anyone striving to achieve or maintain health through a natural alternative way! Thank you Dr. Castanho!

I hate that there is only ONE Dr. Matthew Castanho. If there are others like him, they are hard to find. In the past 11 months I’ve seen about 15 to 20 doctors. None of them showed compassion, patience, or even a small amount of knowledge as to what was going on with me. Some of them were worse than others. They had no problem brushing me off and prescribing medication without knowing what was wrong for sure. I could start my own pharmacy with the amount of medication I was prescribed. None of them worked, they either made me worse or did nothing at all. I understand we were in the middle of a pandemic, but to make your patient feel discouraged and like there is no hope is one of the worst things you can do as a doctor. After reading the reviews and meeting with Dr. Castanho, he not only showed compassion for my situation and patience by listening to me, but he was also able to give me a better understanding of what was going on with me. After confirming what he expected through lab work, he placed me on a meal plan with supplements which resolved the majority of my symptoms. The remaining symptoms have been getting better as the days go on. He has answered all of my questions and has even been available for emergencies. This is the first doctor out of all of the ones that I have seen that I trust and that I have actually made progress with. Anyone who is looking should be seeing Dr. Matthew Castanho. Point. Blank. Period.

I am extremely thankful to have found Dr. Castanho. My 12 year old son has been dealing with stomach and digestive issues his whole life that has affected him socially as well as physically. His increase in anxiety led to many sleepless nights and panic attacks. After many trips to several doctors, he was prescribed anxiety medication and we were told his stomach would then improve. That was certainly not the case at all. It only made him feel numb and he still had constant stomach pain. After just one appointment with Dr. Castanho I knew that we were in the right place. He took the time to listen to his symptoms and explained exactly what was going on in his body. Within only 4 days of following Dr. Castanho’s recommendations he was like a new kid and we continue to see improvements. It will take time for his body to heal, but we are finally headed in the right direction.

I have been working with Dr. Castanho for the past 3-4 months and I have been so happy with the results. I have been seeing him for a multitude of ailments and it has been a game changer. Chronic Fatigue, inflammation, migraines, weight gain, the list goes on. I am happy to say that all are in check now and I am down 12 lbs, feel so much better!!!

Courtney

New London, CT

I have been seeing Dr. Castanho for about a year now. When I first saw him I was having some serious digestive problems and was not feeling great on a daily basis. He was very attentive to listening to my concerns and was very informative about what he felt i needed to do in order to get myself healthy. I followed his program for the last year and I have lost 35lbs, I have no more digestive issues, and I have way more energy! I highly recommend Dr. Castanho as he has changed my overall health for the better!

This man is a Godsend!!! No hot flashes for FOUR weeks from what used to be 4 Per Hour! Instead of waking of six times a night, I can sleep through the night again. No brain fog! Exhaustion gone! I have energy again, no more vertigo, nausea, or sugar cravings! Even my blood pressure has returned to almost normal! I said I would give him 30 days.... nope! Now this is my Doctor for LIFE!! Thank you!! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

After months of feeling run down, anxious and having some heart issues, I happened to find Dr Castanho online. I am so happy I gave him a chance! On the very first visit he seemed to have a handle on what was going on with me and over the last year my health has completely turned around. Between the right supplements and dietary changes I feel better than I have in years of seeing other doctors.

Dr. Castanho has continually kept me healthy - and progressing towards ultimate health - even through some tough and persistent autoimmune health issues (UC and Lyme Disease). Working with him for the past 2 years (starting in person, and now virtually as I reside across the country) has truly been an incredible experience. The amount of time, effort, and knowledge he has put into me to make sure my experience is individualized and fits to my lifestyle and health needs is amazing. I recommend him to all friends and family that's struggling with health issues, no matter how big or small! So much to rave about Dr. Castanho.

Valerie

Old Lyme, CT

My husband and I are currently seeing Dr. Castanho for several health and wellness issues, and we recommend him without reservation. He could be a role model for all medical professionals. He combines all the qualities one would expect in an ideal health care practitioner: extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, excellent listener as well as communicator, and passionate about uncovering and addressing the root cause of our health issues. He customizes his diagnostics and subsequent recommendations to each individual, and we feel like he is a collaborative partner in helping us on the path to optimum health based on our individual needs. He is a rare find!

Kristen

Granby, CT

I was in really bad shape when I started seeing Dr. Castanho. I was living with debilitating pain and with extreme exhaustion. I was seen by 15 doctors prior to meeting him and was getting no answers. He was the one doctor that took the time to listen to my story and he took the time to really test me for everything before coming up with a diagnosis. His due diligence finally gave me the answers I had been seeking for two years. His supplements have changed my life. I’m living with barely any pain now, they’ve given me energy and my life back. I still have a little road ahead, but I’m confident he will heal me completely. Please give him a chance and don’t be discouraged by his age or being fresh out of school. He has done more for me in the 3 sessions I’ve seen him than doctors with 30 years experience under their belts. He’s smart, positive, eager to help you and he thinks outside of the box, where most doctors don’t and they’re not willing to take the time with you that he will. So if you want answers and want to heal yourself, please see Dr, Castanho. He will not disappoint.

Dr. Castanho has helped me tremendously to return to a state of health. He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about what he does, and supportive. After suffering with lasting effects from Lyme disease, Dr. Castanho was able to effectively address the underlying issues. Through supplementation, nutrition coaching, and helping me to pinpoint food intolerances, I am now the healthiest I have been in my adult life. I highly recommend Dr. Castanho!

Kat

Bristol, CT

Dr. Castanho was highly recommended by a family member and after just two visits I’ve been blown away by his intelligence and compassionate nature. He is very attentive and will make you feel heard & cared for while he creates a custom health plan for you to follow toward your goals of better health. He creates his own supplements to provide you with and encourages feedback along the way. My whole experience has been great, from the moment you walk in you’re greeted with smiling faces. I’ve been working with Dr. Castanho to get off long term acid reflux medicine. I’m off them now and haven’t gone without taking them this long in over a decade! If you’re truly looking to invest in yourself and get to the root of your health problems you’ve found the right place. Five stars isn’t enough :) I will definitely be passing along the recommendation!

Alexis

Dr. Castanho is nothing short of amazing. He has helped me reach my overall health goals after suffering from several ailments. No one has ever been so detailed or successful in researching the root of each problem and finding the solution. It’s is so refreshing to be in the hands of someone so knowledgeable and yet so down to earth. He listens to you and cares, making the whole experience a more personal one. I would highly recommend Dr. Castanho to anyone!

Bailey

Canton, CT

I am constantly reminded why Dr. Matthew Castanho is the best doctor around! I’ve been seeing him since 2017 and although I’ve had to go to a few different doctors since then due to changing jobs/location, I always come back to him because he’s the best there is! Since the day I met him, he has been so genuine and always validated my health concerns. He has answered all my questions in a timely manner (even when I lived in a different state and couldn’t physically meet with him) and supported me in difficult times when I didn’t always get that from other doctors. I just had an appointment with him and I’m very excited to continue down a path of healing with him. If you’ve been looking for a doctor that is not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but also encouraging and incredibly kind, Dr. Matthew Castanho is your person!

Ashley

Chicopee, MA

I was having so many symptoms and overall felt very sick. Dr. Castanho has helped me more than any doctor ever has, and the best part is it was all natural! He took his time with me and listened to all my symptoms and concerns. Each week that went by I felt better. I can’t imagine not having his as my doctor now. If you are having symptoms or even anxiety, see Dr. Castanho! It was one of the best choices I’ve made, and now I finally feel like myself again. Also, I’ve definitely learned some knowledge along the way. He’s extremely professional and is the best Naturopath doctor around!

Chelsea

Rocky Hill, CT

Dr. Castanho is truly a rare find and I would recommend him to anyone I know that’s looking to better their health.
I moved to CT in 2017 and made the promise to myself to make my digestive problems and fatigue a priority. I had already cut out gluten, adopted a very healthy lifestyle and was taking prescription medication. I couldn’t find a doctor who was willing to question what else might be going on. I googled naturopathic doctors and read great reviews on Dr. Castanho. He was so easy to speak with over the phone the first time I called and we quickly connected based on his approach to getting to the root of the problem. I had a food sensitivity test done and lots of blood work. He listened to the story of my health journey and took my results seriously. We created a custom plan to address my issues.
I have been seeing him for over a year now and my health has transformed for the first time in 10 years. I have my life back! Dr. Castanho is intelligent, patient, informative, dedicated and caring. If you want to the root of your health issues, I highly highly suggest giving him a call.

Amber

If I could give Dr. Castanho more than 5 stars, I would!
I've been struggling for YEARS and I am by no means at the end of this journey but I must say that I have come very far - in large because of this doctor. He really takes the time and listens to you!! He actually does the labs/bloodwork/tests (that so many others don't!) to help figure out what is going on. He's very thorough and has TONS of knowledge in pretty much everything that we discuss! I highly recommend him!

Brianna

Enfield, CT

I highly recommend any one struggling with health issues to make an appointment with Dr. Castanho. He was the first doctor in a long time that actually listened to all of my concerns and issues, and made a plan to address them all. After going through multiple PCPs and GI's, Dr. Castanho looked all of my symptoms and begin to figure out what was the cause. He truly treats the whole person and not just one problem. I left my first visit feeling heard and finally feel like I am on a path to feeling healthy again after only a couple visits.

Marta

Bristol, CT

I came to Dr. Castanho with psoriasis and swelling of my legs. First, we did a food sensitivity test and a very detailed bloodwork. When the results came, Dr. Castanho spent one session talking to me about them and explaining everything. This gave me a better understanding of my body and what is happening to it. After that, we came up with the list of food I should avoid, plan for increasing my activity level and I also started taking vitamins and supplements. About a month into my treatment, I noticed many positive changes such as reduction in swelling, resolving psoriasis patches, improvements in my allergy symptoms, less bloating and cramps during my menstrual cycle, etc. I am very satisfied with the results and I am looking forward to my visits with Dr. Castanho. He is always very professional and responsive. Our meetings are informative and help me learn how to better care for my body. I have been recommending Dr. Castanho to all my friends and family.

Lucy

I tried ways to help my husband bring down his sugar numbers. He was in the type 2 for diabetes and wanted a natural way of fighting this disease. I was all in and was referred to Dr. Castanho from a friend, with the diet changes, supplements and exercises the results are amazing. If you want to change your life for the better.... using Dr. Castanho is the way to go. Life changing!

Christine

Southampton, MA

For years, I have been telling my primary care doctor and endocrinologist that I am extremely tired. They had no answers. Then I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Castanho. He listened carefully to all of my concerns and ordered bloodwork. After that, he put me on supplements to address the problem areas. I feel WAY better now and the second blood tests showed great improvement. I highly recommend Dr. Castanho. He is very knowledgeable and caring, and he explains everything clearly.

Jen

Van Nuys, CA

Dr. Castanho is amazing! I was seeing an endless stream of doctors and having tests done for years because of a whole slew of confusing symptoms. I felt like no one was actually listening to me. They mostly try to half-heartedly treat the symptoms and want to prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. My friend pushed me hard to call Dr. Castanho who had helped her immensely, and he's the only person I've talked to who I felt like was actually listening and focusing on fixing the problem - not just the symptoms. He quickly identified the very serious issues that no one else caught with a simple blood test. He had me change my diet and take specific supplements, and for the first time in years things are improving, and faster than expected. It blows my mind that I could've gone my whole life without figuring this out!

Yuriy

Agawam, MA

I went to a non-naturopathic doctor and they told me everything was fine even though I am experiencing fatigue. I was pleased to hear Dr. Castanho was able to offer tests my normal doctor couldn’t offer. I’m really excited to try the suggestions he has given me and excited to start feeling better with the custom game plan he gave me 😁.

Amazing! I was struggling with more things than I can count before I was lucky enough to find Dr. Castanho. Since then I’ve been consistently improving and working towards not only feeling good, but better than I’ve ever felt! He’s incredibly intelligent and truly cares. Highly recommend to anyone.

Steven

Dr. Matthew Castanho has helped me more than any other Doctor in my 10 year struggle with IBS and Gluten Intolerance. The past few months have been life changing due to his wealth of knowledge and persistent drive to make me feel as I have hoped to feel for so many years. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Castanho for any problems you may have. You will not be disappointed and will be left with satisfaction and pure results. Thank you so much once again Doc.

Korey

Manchester, CT

My wife recommended me to Dr. Castanho and although reluctant to go to another doctor, it was a life changing experience for me. Dr. Castanho is the most personable and easy to talk to medical professional that I have ever encountered. He listened to my concerns and for once I felt like he truly cared about me as a person and my overall health and wellness. He has taught me the importance of nutrition and muscle building as I continue to work on my overall health and fitness, and he has provided me with many meal plans and the do’s and don’ts about nutrition and supplementation. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Castanho to anyone seeking a medical professional to help with any medical needs/concerns; he knows it all.

My health started failing and traditional medicine was only trying to treat symptoms. I kept being told I was depressed and then prescribed meds they predicted I’d probably always have to be on. Dr. Castanho was recommended and by the time I left my first appointment, I was feeling hopeful with a vast amount of knowledge. By my second appointment I was already feeling okay again. I’m now 6 weeks into the supplement protocol and diet change and have gotten my life back! Highly recommended!!!

Dhaval

Amherst, MA

Awesome!!! Wow - Dr. Castanho is hands down the most humble, knowledgeable and helpful doctor I've ever met! He offered an appointment, within two business days after hearing I was in a car accident. Incredibly happy with the visit - spent over an hour and 15 min answering all my questions about Vegan lifestyle and gave many recommendations with detailed scientific backed reasoning! If your looking for an kind, intelligent and accommodating professional, look no further. Dr. Castanho is elevating the game for doctors in CT (and he's coming to East Longmeadow, too). Very easy to share those embarrassing questions as he's fully present (meditation maybe) and an exceptional listener. Highly recommend!!

Nathan

Suffield, CT

Dr. Castanho has been outstanding to work with. He is honest and realistic. He does not talk over your head and does not try to up sell you on anything. He is easy to talk to and ready for your appointment. He does not waste appointment time reading his notes from the previous appointment and getting caught up.

Hannah

Newington, CT

I highly recommend Dr. Castanho - he’s been great to work with on solving my health challenges and making progress on my path to a healthier life. He works to truly understand the root cause and has designed a thorough and manageable plan for me. He is easy to talk to and accessible between visits. I’ve already seen a positive shift in my health and look forward to more!

Shawntell

South Windsor, CT

A year ago I did an elimination diet and was successful in removing a couple foods that were causing abdominal pain and a myriad of other symptoms, but as I added food back symptoms began to return. So I went to see a naturopathic doctor who tested my sensitivity to 100+ foods with clear measured results (severe, high, moderate and low). These foods are healthy but cause a severe or high reaction for me when my body tries to digest them. Eliminating coffee and raspberries was simple, but gluten and vanilla require work and education. Sometimes eating healthy isn’t enough, and you have to look deeper to find what is healthy for you!!
If you’re looking for a doctor in the CT area, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Castanho. You’ll be so grateful you got help.

Herma

East Hartford, CT

I started seeing Dr Castanho almost 3 months ago for gut issues and inflammation. He was very informative from the first appointment. Definitely knew what he was talking about and doing. Had a blood test done and based on that, he has me on a regimen that’s been working out great. Also supplements that are good for my overall health. I am feeling more energized, gut problem is better, and just overall feeling much better. I definitely recommend switching over to Dr. Castanho.

Dan

Longmeadow, MA

My wife and I became patients of Dr. Castanho in Spring 2018. We came into his office very stressed and unhealthy after just going through a very difficult time in our life. Dr. Castanho helped get my wife and I into great health (better than ever) and we look great! We don’t ever go hungry on his nutrition approach. Also, we haven’t fallen off track. We recommend Dr. Castanho to all our friends and family whenever we get the chance!

Karl

North Grafton, MA

Dr. Castanho is hands-down one of the best doctors I have seen in my 57 years of life! His demeanor is calm, positive, thorough, attentive, flexible, and personal. Dr. Castanho made me feel comfortable and relaxed and asked me questions about my recreational life (which no doctor has ever done before!). We also discussed vitamin supplements to address some life phase events and he made recommendations as to what I need. I find that other doctors usually are distracted or rushed when consulting patients, I had the sense that this doctor REALLY cared about my whole being!!! I give him 5 stars! I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone that values their health and wants a doctor that’s holistic, empowering, and takes a true interest.

Dawne

Farmington, CT

I brought my teenage daughter to see Dr. Castanho on the recommendation of a friend who couldn't say enough about how much he had helped her daughter. After years of feeling ill every early morning and visits to doctors who said it was nerves after traditional bloodwork showed no issues, my daughter was ready to try anything. Within 10 minutes of my daughter describing her symptoms, Dr. Castanho correctly diagnosed the issue, the cause, explained these clearly to us and told my daughter what to do with her diet to alleviate the issue. Why was no traditional doctor able to figure this out? My daughter has had no issues since following Dr. Castanho's instructions. We follow up with him periodically and he always asks thorough questions that show he cares about how she is doing. I highly recommend Dr. Castanho and will forever be grateful to him for helping my daughter.

Dr. Castanho is a gem. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. While his approach is collaborative and respectful, he confidently takes the lead to help his patients move from poor heath to healing, with optimal wellbeing as the goal. He breaks things down in a way his patients can understand and creates protocols that are individualized and realistic. He is the consummate cheerleader and full of humanity. He is wise beyond his years and I am very grateful to have his guidance.

Dr. Matt Castanho is the best doctor I have ever had. He actually diagnoses the root causes of your health issues and then recommends a protocol that includes diet changes and appropriate supplements. If you suffer from GI issues, insomnia or body aches, I highly recommend that you call Dr. Castanho.

Giving a big shout out to my friend, Dr. Matthew Castanho! After hearing this workshop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ryj6OtNQqo) at my school last April, I brought my 10-year-old son to see him in May. We’ve been working with him for just a few months and the change in how my son feels is amazing! It’s so good to see his energy up and the understanding he has of his symptoms and his supplements makes me so proud of him. If you aren’t feeling your best, give Naturopathic Medicine a try and reach out to Matthew. He’s awesome to work with and I highly recommend his practice. ❤️

Megan

West Hartford, CT

Dr. Castanho has been very professional, kind, and approachable when helping me along my journey to better health. I am currently seeing him for guidance in my discomfort with food consumption. After reviewing bloodwork and starting the GAPS diet, Dr. Castanho was able to pinpoint an action plan personalized to me. He never criticizes or judges, but instead listens with kindness. I felt immediate relief after our first visit. I continue to have that physical sense of relief because of the change in diet, but also emotionally because I finally feel I am on the right path to a healthier me.

Brianna

I went to see Dr. Castanho for my anxiety. I had heard nothing but good things about Naturopaths so I figured I would give it a try. The supplements he recommended have helped significantly. It did take some time but now I feel great! When we got the bloodwork back it was great to have an explanation behind why I felt the way I did. Truly a great experience, I highly recommend him.

Jackie

Plantsville, CT

I first came to Dr. Castanho in hopes of alleviating symptoms and residual issues from a previous Lyme diagnosis. Dr. Castanho was incredibly knowledgeable and immediately helped pinpoint my areas of concern and the possible causes. Within just a few months of seeing him, all of my various issues, which ranged from muscle spasms and pain to digestive issues and food intolerances, were not only addressed but quickly alleviated due to an accurate and supportive supplement regimen and nutrition counseling. Dr. Castanho is always very attentive and professional at every visit and really takes the time to explain the science, research, and logic behind every suggestion he may give. In the short time in which I've been his patient, I have seen amazing results after years of issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Castanho to anyone looking for a naturopathic doctor in the area!

Thank you Dr. Castanho for turning my life around. 
I struggled for 3 or more years with undiagnosed Lyme disease and you were the first person to FINALLY give me some answers.  Chronic Lyme has wreaked havoc on my body and all its systems for many years and I forgot what it felt like to have a "good" day. It's been a little over a month working with you and now I am really starting to have breakthroughs. 
I went through a lot of Herx reactions initially, but I am starting to notice more energy, less joint pain/swelling, and the freeing feeling of being human.
I jogged for 0.4 mi and walked 3 mi two days ago and I haven't been able to walk a mile without severe knee/leg swelling and pain in more than a year. 
I am shocked and so unbelievably grateful.
You looked outside the box, did not get bogged down by my crazy medical history, and saw the big picture. 
Naturopathic medicine has absolutely saved my life.

Dr. Castanho is excellent at finding the root cause to vague and debilitating symptoms. His care and testing is unlike anything you will find at your typical MD or pediatrician's office.  My 8 year old son had chronic fatigue, severe mood changes, and other significant concerns that the pediatrician was not able to diagnose.  After the initial consult, we had a diagnosis and my son is back to being a happy and health kid.  A visit to Dr. Castanho is well worth the time and money because he will get to the bottom of your concern.

Dr. Castanho quickly and effortlessly diagnosed my thyroid disease along with a bunch of deficiencies and imbalances. I’d seen so many different doctors over the years, none were naturopaths, yet no one ever offered any real solutions or bothered to understand my symptoms. Dr. Castanho not only has me feeling GREAT on a simple supplement regime, but he also took the time to explain everything to me! He explained it all so clearly so that I actually understand what’s going on in my own body. I’d recommend him to anyone!
