About Holistic Solutions

Holistic Solutions in San Diego takes a comprehensive, integrative approach to weight loss that addresses the interconnected aspects of health including metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and emotional well-being. Our team of naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, and wellness practitioners believes that sustainable weight loss requires healing the whole person, not just focusing on calories and exercise. We combine traditional naturopathic medicine with modern diagnostic tools to uncover and treat the root causes of weight gain.

Since 2012, we've helped thousands of patients achieve lasting weight loss by addressing underlying health imbalances that conventional approaches often miss. Our holistic philosophy recognizes that weight struggles are often symptoms of deeper health issues such as hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or emotional eating patterns. We create personalized treatment plans that restore balance and support your body's natural ability to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive approach begins with extensive functional medicine testing to identify underlying factors contributing to weight gain. We offer hormone balancing treatments including bioidentical hormone therapy for both men and women experiencing weight gain related to hormonal changes. Our nutritional medicine programs include personalized elimination diets, food sensitivity testing, and targeted supplementation based on individual deficiencies. Acupuncture treatments help regulate metabolism, reduce cravings, and support emotional balance during weight loss. We provide herbal medicine prescriptions tailored to individual constitutions and health needs. Detoxification programs help eliminate toxins that can interfere with metabolism and weight loss. Stress management techniques including meditation instruction and biofeedback help address emotional eating patterns. We also offer IV nutrient therapy to correct deficiencies and support metabolic function. Our pain management services address chronic pain conditions that may interfere with physical activity and contribute to weight gain.

What to Expect

Your healing journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll discuss your complete health history, weight loss challenges, and overall wellness goals. We typically recommend functional medicine testing to assess hormone levels, nutrient status, food sensitivities, and metabolic markers. Based on your test results and assessment, we'll create an integrated treatment plan that may include nutritional modifications, targeted supplements, herbal medicines, and therapeutic treatments.

Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and adjust treatments as your body responds and heals. We emphasize gradual, sustainable changes that support long-term health and weight maintenance. Our team provides education and resources to help you to take an active role in your healing process.

Why Choose Holistic Solutions

Our integrative approach addresses the root causes of weight gain rather than just treating symptoms. Our team's extensive training in both conventional and alternative medicine allows us to provide comprehensive care that bridges the best of both worlds. We take time to understand each patient's unique health picture and create truly personalized treatment plans. Patients appreciate our thorough approach to testing and our commitment to education and support. Our success comes from treating the whole person and supporting the body's natural healing abilities. We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where patients feel heard and understood in their health journey.

Insurance & Pricing

We work with most major insurance plans and will verify coverage for applicable services during your consultation. Many naturopathic consultations and some testing may be covered depending on your plan. Acupuncture treatments are often covered by insurance plans that include alternative medicine benefits. For services not covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and payment plans. Initial comprehensive consultations range from $300-450, with follow-up visits typically $150-250. Laboratory testing and supplements are additional costs that vary based on individual needs and testing requirements.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, complete all intake forms and gather any recent lab work, medication lists, and supplement information. Consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary for at least a week prior to your appointment. Come prepared to discuss your health history in detail, including any patterns you've noticed related to your weight and overall health. Be open about your lifestyle, stress levels, and emotional relationship with food.

Success with our approach requires patience as natural healing takes time and commitment to recommended dietary and lifestyle changes. Take supplements and herbal medicines as prescribed and communicate any concerns or questions promptly. Attend all scheduled appointments as consistent monitoring is important for adjusting treatments and ensuring progress. We encourage active participation in your healing process and provide resources to support your journey between visits.
