As those of you who’ve been following the super humanize podcast for a while know, I am super passionate about discussing groundbreaking trends and health and wellness. And that’s why I’m very excited to speak to today’s guest, Dr. Marvin Singh or Dr. Marv, as he’s known affectionately by his patients is an integrative gastroenterologist.
He’s the first physician in California to be board certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. In addition to being a diplomat of the American board of integrative medicine, he’s currently one of two integrative gastroenterologists in the United States to carry all three of these endorsements.
Dr. Marv is the director of integrative gastroenterology at the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute at UC Irvine, as well as a voluntary system clinical professor at UC San Diego in the department of family medicine and public health.
Dr. Marv is dedicated to guide his patients to optimal wellness by using the most cutting-edge technologies to design highly personalized precision based protocols.
