Dr. Veeravagu's practice combines western and Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, clinical nutrition, homeopathy and lifestyle counseling to address the root cause of symptoms and disease utilizing the vis medicatrix naturae, or "healing power of nature".  He has a general naturopathic practice, with a focus on digestive wellness, stress-induced illness, hormonal imbalances, and detoxification.  He also completed his naturopathic thesis on the extremely common but largely unrecognized condition of non-celiac gluten intolerance.

Originally from New York, Dr. Veeravagu completed his undergraduate degree in genetics at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts and was a genetic researcher at the University of California at Berkeley before discovering his interest in natural medicine.  He founded Sage Clinic with his wife Dr. Samantha Gray, ND in June 2002.  His interests outside of the clinic include soccer, tennis, world music, ashtanga yoga, and hiking with Samantha and their daughters Uma and Layla.
