Gut Health and Hormone Replacement Therapy in Scottsdale
There's a gap in conventional medicine. Your labs are normal.Your colonoscopy was fine. But you still feel terrible — and nobody can tell you why.
That gap is where Dr. Dan Wool works.
Dan is a naturopathic gastroenterologist practicing in Scottsdale, Arizona. He specializes in gut health, hormone optimization, and men's health — treating the conditions that fall between the cracks of standard care. IBS, SIBO, acid reflux, leaky gut, low testosterone, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalance, and fatigue that nobody has been able to explain.
He uses functional testing — including the GI-MAP stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, and comprehensive hormone panels — to find what routine bloodwork misses. Then he builds a personalized treatment plan using evidence-based natural medicine, targeted nutrition and peptide protocols like BPC-157, KPV, and GLP-1s.

Look, I’ve been there…
Most of my patients have already been everywhere.
They've seen their family doctor, a GI specialist, maybe a functional medicine provider.
They've tried elimination diets, supplements from social media, probiotics from Amazon, recommendations from AI bots and three different prescriptions.
They've had the colonoscopy (or endoscopy).
They've done the bloodwork.
And every single time, someone hands them a printout and says everything looks normal.
But nothing feels normal.
That moment — when the results say you're fine but your body says otherwise — is exactly why I became a naturopathic doctor. I've been in that seat. I know how exhausting it is to not be believed.
That ends here.

Highly Personalized Care
What working with Dr. Dan looks like
Your first visit isn't a 12-minute appointment with a clipboard. It's a conversation — up to 90 minutes — where we go through your full history, your symptoms, and everything you've already tried.
After that, we test. We review thoroughly. Then we build a plan. Based on the data. Not a protocol pulled from a template. An actual plan built around you, your life, and what your body needs to get well.
Most patients start noticing a difference within the first 60 days. Many tell us it's the first time they've felt genuinely heard by a doctor.
That's the standard here. Not the exception.

Making it Easy
Investing in Your Health
One of the main hurdles for many people to see a naturopathic doctor is the perceived cost. Most people use health insurance when they see a doctor, but Naturopathic doctors generally don’t take it (or rather, the insurance companies don’t take us).
Our practice is cash pay. We make no apology for that – it is the true cost of medical care and services – and that’s actually very freeing for both of us.
The difference between Dr. Wool and a traditional medical doctor is that he actually wants you well for the long term, without forever medications and costly procedures.
Done correctly your costs can be significantly lower than with traditional health insurance and medical care. You may pay more up front. But there’s the whole “actually solving your health problems” thing so you don’t have to keep spending long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a naturopathic doctor do for gut health?
A naturopathic doctor takes a root-cause approach to gut health rather than managing symptoms with long-term medication. Dr. Dan Wool uses functional testing, including the GI-MAP stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, and food sensitivity panels — to identify the underlying drivers of digestive problems like bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and constipation. Treatment plans typically combine targeted nutrition, evidence-based supplements, herbal medicine, and lifestyle protocols designed to restore healthy gut function naturally and durably.
How is Dr. Dan Wool different from a gastroenterologist?
A conventional gastroenterologist specializes in diagnosing and procedurally treating digestive diseases — colonoscopies, endoscopies, and prescription medications are their primary tools. Dr. Dan Wool, NMD is a naturopathic gastroenterologist who focuses on the functional and root-cause side of digestive health: why your gut isn't working properly, what's driving it, and how to fix it naturally. Many of his patients have already seen a GI specialist, received normal test results, and still feel terrible. That gap — between "nothing is wrong" and actually feeling well — is exactly where naturopathic gastroenterology works best. The two approaches are complementary, not competing.
Does Dr. Wool take insurance?
Dr. Wool's practice is cash-pay and does not accept health insurance. However, many patients use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds, and credit cards are accepted. While this requires more upfront investment than a typical insurance co-pay, the goal is to actually resolve your health issues rather than manage them indefinitely — which typically results in lower overall healthcare spending over time. A detailed pricing and packages page is available at drdanwool.com/investing-in-your-health.
What conditions does Dr. Dan Wool treat in Scottsdale?
Dr. Dan Wool treats a wide range of conditions at his Scottsdale, Arizona practice. On the digestive side these include IBS, SIBO, acid reflux and GERD, leaky gut, bloating, constipation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, and histamine intolerance. On the hormonal side he treats low testosterone, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, hot flashes, perimenopause and menopause, and provides bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (including BioTe Method pellet therapies) for both men and women. He also offers peptide therapy protocols, men's health services including erectile dysfunction, weight management and fatigue. New patients begin with a free 15-minute consultation.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body produces naturally — estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone being the most common. Unlike synthetic hormones used in conventional HRT, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and compounded to match each patient's specific hormonal needs based on lab testing. Dr. Wool prescribes BHRT for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline including fatigue, low libido, weight gain, mood changes, hot flashes, and poor sleep. Treatment is individualized and monitored with regular lab work.
Is naturopathic medicine effective for IBS?
Yes — naturopathic medicine has a strong evidence base for IBS treatment. The naturopathic approach identifies the specific subtype and underlying drivers of a patient's IBS, which may include SIBO, intestinal dysbiosis, food sensitivities, stress-related gut-brain axis dysfunction, or low digestive enzyme production. Rather than prescribing a blanket IBS medication, Dr. Wool uses functional GI testing, dietary modification, targeted probiotics, herbal antimicrobials, and gut-healing protocols tailored to each patient. Many patients see significant improvement within 8-12 weeks.
