“Ivy Branin is super smart, knowledgeable, and a true professional. I engaged her for nutritional issues I’ve had for years. Due to her expertise, her recommendations made a huge difference. She researches extensively and is deeply committed to her patients. I’ve also recommended her to my clients, who were extremely pleased with the results. Ivy is a total pro.”

I have been working with Dr.Ivy for a little over 2 years now. She has truly changed my life and health. She is extremely knowledgeable , professional & personable. I have PCOS & have struggled with the symptoms for 15 years. After working with her i almost immediately saw improvement. After 2 years, I’m able to manage my symptoms and live a more enjoyable life. All while doing it naturally !!! She truly is amazing .

I deliberated for years about seeing someone for my skin issues. I had relatively minor hormonal acne that became a much bigger issue after ending birth control. I knew the problem was internal but didnt have the tools to address it. Dr. Ivy is very experienced in her work. After our first visit, she was able to curate the right supplement and dietary recommendations to start managing my issue. After being on the plan for 2.5 months, my cystic acne has gone away and the other trouble areas have fully cleared. Anyone dealing with skin, gut, or other health issues knows that it can be mentally/socially and physically uncomfortable to deal with the symptoms. It is such a joy and relief to know that my body is correcting itself and I can be comfortable in my own skin. I really cant express how extremely grateful I am to Dr. Ivy for sharing her knowledge and guidance. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help in this regard.

Dr. Ivy is one of the most caring and thorough doctors I have ever met. My daughter who had been diagnosed with PCOS found Dr. Ivy online and Dr. Ivy was able to get my daughter’s period back! When I stared to get hot flashes and night sweats I turned to Dr. Ivy. It took 4 weeks and it all disappeared. I felt like a cry baby because I couldn’t sleep well every night but Dr. Ivy walked me through why this happens and how to fix it. If you are looking for a kind, caring and thorough doctor, Dr. Ivy is the best.

Working with Ivy was a terrific experience. I had a tough microbiome issue, and nothing Id done had helped. Ivy spent time listening to all of my anxieties, and doubts, and put me on a protocol that completely turned my health around. Whenever I had a hard time with a dietary restriction or new habit to learn, she patiently guided me through alternatives, and gave me ideas for how to make things go more smoothly. She is responsive, kind, and really knows her stuff.

Dr. Ivy is great. I have been suffering from Hashimoto’s for a while now, and many doctors failed to diagnose it properly. One of the underlying issues I had was SIBO. No doctor even thought to test for it! Sure enough, upon Dr. Ivy’s instruction, I got tested using the three hour breath test. I was positive and for the first time I feel like I’m getting better. She truly wants to help her patients, and I appreciate the natural approach. Antibiotics put me in a terrible place, and I am still healing from all the unnecessary antibiotics I took. Many doctors I’ve seen didn’t know how to treat me or what to test for. Dr. Ivy is worth the investment. Naturopathic medicine works!

Over the years I’ve met many naturopaths but I have to say that Dr Branin is the real deal. She has a solid background in science and is a diligent and thoughtful diagnostician. She has a specialty in natural women’s health and hormones. She is also experienced with anxiety and depression. As a psychotherapist I feel comfortable referring patients who are seeking alternatives to medication. She is very articulate and insightful. I was a guest on her program Mental Health Mondays and I discussed the impact of the pandemic and social distancing on couples. As an interviewer she put me at ease and we had a fun and lively discussion on a topic that could be painful. Dr. Branin is an amazing naturopathic doctor, speaker and person, and I can’t say enough good things about her.

Dr. Ivy is very wonderful to work with. I mainly visited with her via phone as I live out of state and work in remote areas for extended periods of time. She was very responsive and compassionate, and was a delight to work with. She helped me to rid HPV with a comprehensive naturopathic vitamin/supplement regime and diet. I highly recommend working with her. Thanks Dr. Ivy!

I came to Dr. Ivy to try to get my period back after missing it for over 7 months and suffering from PCOS symptoms for 7 years, and within a month of starting her protocol I got my period! Dr. Ivy is incredibly thorough and clearly cares about her patients. Ive gone to countless ob/gyns and naturopaths and this is by far the best experience (and results) I have ever had. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Dr Ivy is wonderful, extremely thorough and compassionate. We worked together virtually as I currently live in Bali and I highly recommend her. Her holistic approach and comprehensive instructions empowered me to heal my body from within. I encourage anyone with health challenges to contact her!

Dr. Ivy is the only doctor I fully trust and would recommend to friends and family. Not only is she super kind, supportive and attentive but she’s extremely intelligent and always gets back to me right away, no matter what. She cured my hormonal issues from birth control within weeks of my first appt. Whenever I need a doctor, I go to her first!

Dr. Ivy is a very gifted practitioner. I first met her when I signed up for a detox. It was scientifically sound, and got me to a better nutritional intake and off a sugar addiction. I lost 40 pounds and have been able to keep up this healthy way of eating effortlessly for over a year now. She also caught issues with my medication regimen that no one else did, and I am feeling more calm and balanced as a result. She is extremely knowledgeable and follows up with the latest information. She is open to communicating with practitioners who follow the medical model, so her approach is truly integrative. She also has a wealth of contacts to make referrals. I heartily recommend her services!

I’ve never visited a naturopath before but decided to try natural remedies for my issue. Dr. Ivy was very wonderful and professional to work with. She put me on a vitamin regimen and helped to create a recommended dietary plan for me as well. Dr. Ivy listens and is very thorough with everything. She is fast to send out your plan the very same day. I got my results back from the doctor and my issue was resolved thanks to Dr. Ivy! Highly recommend her!

As an entrepreneur, it is important to me to maintain my health so that I can run my business with intention and focus. When I started to lose almost a week of working days every month because there were more days feeling down than the days I was feeling driven and productive, I reached out to Dr. Ivy. It was so nice to really talk and be heard instead of just being examined. Dr. Ivy made me feel comfortable so that I was able to communicate all my concerns including my health and lifestyle with her without feeling being judged. If you feel like youre losing your focus or feeling down longer than you usually are, contact Dr. Ivy today. She will be able to help you get back to your driven and motivated self in no time!

Visiting Simplicity Health Associates helped me get in tune with my body and helped me resolve several different issues that had been bothering me for years. Finally I was able to find a doctor who listened, and cared for my entire being, not just component parts. I would highly recommend Dr. Ivy to anyone who wants to explore naturopathic medicine.

I had amazing success with Dr. Ivy Branin of Simplicity Health Associates. She has a warm and caring bedside manner and was an excellent listener to my host of problems. Her solutions were easy to implement and quite successful. I would happily use her again except that she resolved my concerns so I have been free of the problems that brought me to her in the first place for some time. I can offer the highest recommendation to Dr. Ivys practice.

Working with Dr. Ivy gave me the tools to improve my health and my eating. She provided meal guidelines and tailored them to what was honestly achievable — making success and positive change real possibilities.More than the typical doctor, Ivy looks at the whole person. Whats more, she loves learning, so if her intuition leads her to something that could help, shell investigate and figure out how it can make a difference for you. She also is hugely empathetic and has a great sense of humor.

Dr. Ivy was able to help me identify and treat my PMDD (Pre-menstrual dysmorphia disorder) which had been a chronic and mysterious issue for me for YEARS. Simply through analyzing blood work and asking the right questions, she created a personalized vitamin regimen for me that has completely changed my emotional and hormonal landscape and eliminated symptoms that ranged from suicidal thoughts, depression, migraines, gastro intestinal discomfort and asthma. Highly recommend!

I had great success with Dr. Ivy. I had several body issue like numbness, tingling and muscles inflammation all over my body. After few years with Ivy following her diet and taking some supplements my pain went from 9 to 1. I love her cause she is very simple and a good listener using only holistic natural medicine. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! As long as you will follow her plan I’m quite sure you will see results and improvement soon.Luca V.

Dr. Ivy is extremely knowledgable and thorough. When you go to a conventional doctor, they take about 2 minutes to diagnose you and send you off with some type of prescription medicine that often masks the symptoms but does not actually cure the illness (not to mention the side effects that are often coupled w these). My husband and I have consulted with Dr. Ivy for several reasons and have been blown away by her expertise. She takes her time to get to know you and your daily habits so that she can recommend supplements that will work for you . My husband and I were trying to conceive last spring and consulted with her to help us expedite the process. Needless to say, I was pregnant within a month of following her regimen! I am now mother to a beautiful, healthy 5.5 month old baby girl and I give Dr. Ivy much of the credit. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Ivy. She does not mask issues with medications, but instead, helps find long term solutions for whats causing the issues.

Dr. Ivy changed my life! Im so grateful. After nearly two years of struggling with chronic infections, depression, anxiety, insatiable cravings, weight gain, digestive problems, and insomnia, Dr. Ivys attentive care and thorough treatment plan has me feeling like a whole new woman. Ive rediscovered my energy, passion, joy, healthy sleep patterns, normal digestion, and balanced appetite. Its amazing! Thank you!!!

Dr. Ivy is the best! I spent over a year working with doctors who tried (and failed) to treat my Amenorrhea before contacting Dr. Ivy... and it took less than 6 months of working with her to get my cycle back. Im now off the medication I had been on for over 10 years to treat PCOS and feeling great. So grateful for her time and knowledge... and you will be, too!

I was grateful to have found Dr. IVY through a friend who turned to her for help after her renowned doctors in Manhattan couldn’t successfully treat her Thyriod disease. My friend even had radioactive iodine to kill her thyroid and she still didn’t seek any relief until she decided to take matters into her own hands and explore a more holistic route. I could see under the guidance of Dr. Ivy her years of suffering finally came to an end. It was amazing to see!!I immediately contacted Dr. Ivy for guidance in issues I started experiencing after turning the age of 30; lack of energy (which I tested positive for adrenal fatigue), weight gain and rosecea. I spent my 20’s in a demanding job and as a result, I neglected my health. Not that I was unhealthy, I just didn’t feel the best I knew I could. I was ready to seek guidance to help structure a healthy lifestyle tailored personally for me. I chose her “Strive to Thrive” multiple session plan. When it was over, I renewed and continued several more sessions...that’s how great she is. We would talk in our one hour sessions as if she was my health “therapist”. She would listen and immediately email me my tailored plan. I would come in the next session and discuss what worked and what didn’t. She recommended specific health supplements to treat my adrenal fatigue which I took daily. For weight loss, she gave me lists of foods and broke down tailored eating times and portion control. Recommended exercise plans that we tweaked as I tried out different things. It was not easy but if you put in all of the hard work, you will see Dr. Ivy knows her stuff and will guide you successfully through any issue. I have since recommended her to several people.

My experience with Dr. Ivy was excellent. I met her in person once but continued with Skype and consultations since I like in the Middle East. She is very thorough and organized and would always respond to any of my queries promptly. She also connected me to several healing therapies that added to my wellbeing. I did a couple of the sugar detoxes with her, this helped jump start my metabolism.

I took by teenage daughter to see Dr. Ivy for a stubborn skin condition. She was very attentive during the visit and provided us with a very easy to follow protocol. Within weeks my daughters skin condition was clear and she was immensely relieved. I highly recommend Dr. Ivy, she is professional, knowledgeable and supportive.

Review №29

I had a severe case of reflux. As well as general pain and inflammation, it had caused a lesion on my vocal cords. An MD was treating me, in addition to adjusting diet, with large dosages of over the counter anti acids. Things improved for a couple months when they plateaued then got worse again. The drugs ceased working and seemed to backfire, the lesion and symptoms got worse. The MDs were anxious to operate to remove the lesion by surgery, even though the cause [reflux] had not been tamed. I was not crazy about the idea of surgery in general, especially on such a delicate organ.I was referred to Dr. Ivy by a friend. She began by questioning me about diet, lifestyle, work, stress, other medical matters. After a few sessions, designed a regimen of supplements. It took about 4-5 months, but the MDs were pleasantly shocked to see the lesion was gone and the general inflammation of the entire area had subsided. My painful reflux and other symptoms had gone away too. Very happy to be have cured both the cause and symptoms with Dr. Ivys help, and of course, avoided surgery. I of course continue my regimen to stay healthy.
