degree both at the University of Bridgeport. She has also been trained in

David Levi, ND (Cand)
David Levi, a 4th year Naturopathic Medical student at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine, (UBCNM), lives in Bridgeport, CT with his wife and three children. After graduating from Hunter College in New York City with a Bachelor of Arts Cum Laude in Hebraic Studies, he moved his entire family to Bridgeport in order to pursue his training in naturopathic medicine. David’s strong desire to ensure that the public becomes aware of the holistic approach to chronic degenerative diseases by treating the underlying cause is manifested in his own lifestyle and in the lives of his family. David truly believes that the cornerstone of his naturopathic training is that food is the best medicine and that many medical conditions are treated more effectively with food and nutraceuticals circumventing the complications and side effects brought on by the use of pharmaceuticals.
