A Pioneering Physician with an Integrative Vision

Hugo Rodier, MD has an Integrative Health Clinic in Sandy, Utah. He is an integrative physician who specializes in healing chronic disease at the cellular level by blending proper nutrition, lifestyle changes, & allopathic practices when necessary. By nutritionally restoring STOMACH, LIVER, AND INTESTINAL HEALTH practically all patients are able to stop their prescription drugs for their chronic problems. He feels the key is to optimize the health of the MICROBIOME, or the health bacteria that lives in our intestines. Doing so addresses the underlying problems of Dysbiosis, and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth,) which lead to Inflammation, and Leaky Gut. The latter are at the root of practically ALL health problems, not just Intestinal issues.

Dr. Rodier has a special interest in addressing ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY. Salt Lake City has some of the most contaminated air in the nation, so his work raises awareness of the role of toxins in the environment and how they contribute to many chronic diseases ranging from asthma and autism to diabetes and obesity.

He leads a simple life, enjoying the mountains and deserts of Utah, practicing yoga, biking and walking, reading voraciously, and finding delight in his family, which includes children and the entertaining antics of his cat, dogs, and one pig. Healthy and paid to do what he loves, he considers himself blessed in life.

Dr. Rodier was born in Chile with paternal roots in France and immigrated to the United States at the age of 16. His unique upbringing not only left him fluent in Spanish and French, but also gave him a grounded perspective on life and love that he carries into his practice.

For his clinical work, Dr. Rodier reads 50 medical journals each month and keeps extensive lists of citations to demonstrate the evidence-based science behind the nutritional approaches he uses. Take a look at his NEWSLETTER and BLOGS where he posts the most interesting references he finds for you to study.

Testimonials

I came to see you in June 2015 at PCM Clinic after a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. You helped me to realize that I had to choose between western medicine drugs (prednisone, methotrexate) or the natural approach of healing my gut. I chose to stay off the drugs and I followed your plan. I have been gradually getting better and last week I had some good news. I repeated my inflammation blood tests and they were in normal range! I am back to running and hiking and also do Bikram Yoga every week. I have removed gluten, dairy and sugar from my diet for the past year and I plan to continue with that. I have been taking probiotics daily and also L-Glutamine along with various other supplements. I considered a fecal transplant but since I continued to get better with just dietary changes I wanted to see how much better I could get.I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would not be feeling this great today if it weren't for you. You got me on the right track and helped me realize what my body needed. If you ever need a testimonial let me know. I am living proof that drugs are not needed to put RA into remission.

Thank you,Virginia Andrews
Dr. Rodier was a lifesaver. I had gone to every doctor imaginable and my life kept disintegrating right before my eyes, and I was only in my thirties. Dr. Rodier helped me recover from something I had never heard of - small intestinal bacterial overgrowth - and he taught me how to maintain my health through diet and nutrition. Probiotics and a low-glycemic diet were the keys to my recovery and staying well.
Dr. Rodier is a bit of a throwback to a time when medicine was about keeping people well and not so much about the business of making money. I love that he is always looking for the most affordable solutions possible.
As a patient, I appreciate that Dr. Rodier has always been able to explain what is happening in my body, especially after other physicians have just shrugged or referred me out to some new specialist. Dr. Rodier devised a protocol that helped me overcome chronic fatigue, and I feel like myself again. I will always be grateful.
Hugo Rodier is a rare clinican in general practice. He studies the scientific literature as thoroughly as an academic researcher. I do my own research, and he never ceases to amaze me with what he knows and can cite from memory.
