What Clients Are Saying:

“Dr. Murali has truly changed my life! I have PCOS and spent years dealing with symptoms traditional doctors dismissed. Her personalized, holistic approach addressed the root causes. My symptoms have improved dramatically, my energy is higher, and I feel in control of my health. I can’t recommend her enough!”

I did the detox for 4 weeks. I’m glad the doctor altered the length of the detox so it does not shock the body. I was feeling sluggish and having digestive issues-bloating, gassy and didn’t sleep well. The detox helped me understand my body and the symptoms went away. I lost 11 pounds and felt healthy and energized. I found great ways to eat healthy with recipes from the book. I felt reassured with the weekly visits with the doctor. I did get some constipation during the process and should have eaten more vegetables instead of too much fruit. Overall I’m glad I did and recommend to all my family and friends.

Patient
I have really enjoyed the detox process. It has taught me to eat properly, add more veggies into my diet, and in the correct proportion for a balanced diet. I have seen a difference in my mood, I sleep better, and I am also losing weight. I will take a lot of the lessons learned during detox and make that a regular part of my everyday life. Thank you.

I am so happy that the program is working for me. As a result,my diabetes medication is significantly reduced; my blood pressure is down and medication reduced. I am sleeping better and lost almost 10lbs.

Patient
My experience in this detox has been so hard, yet so worth it. I have seen so many good results, my body feels lighter, and I don’t forget things as easily now. I do not have as many headaches and I don’t have a lot of words right now, but I know this detox has been good for me and I’ve lost a lot of weight.

Gut Restoration Program

This program is for those seeking a long-term, root-cause solution for their digestive issues, rather than temporary relief. It’s designed for clients experiencing chronic problems like IBS (gas, bloating, constipation), acid reflux (GERD), Candida imbalances, or general abdominal discomfort.

 

Our approach uses the proven 5R process (Remove, Replace, Re-Inoculate, Repair, Rebalance) to support and rebalance the gut. We utilize specialty lab testing, targeted nutrition, and lifestyle guidance to address the “why” behind your symptoms. This program may also support those with related issues like autoimmune conditions, skin problems, or hormonal imbalances, as these often stem from the gut. We may also integrate Red Light Therapy and Homeopathy into your plan.

What Clients Are Saying:

Dr. Murali is a functional medicine doctor!! it’s my first time consulting with a functional medicine specialist. I am so glad I consulted her.

Prior to this phase, I had been suffering with IBS according to regular GI in the area and I seldom had a normal stool. Dr. Murali healed me inside out. I was tested for allergies and deficiencies. I was given supplements and treatments according to my gut needs. Today I’m very happy to share that my gut healed and I feel so blessed to have know her!!

If you are tired of regular allopathy doctors and haven’t gotten any relief please do reach out to Dr. Murali! she can help!!

Patient
I sought out help from Dr. Murali for severe GERD/ hiatal hernia/reflux and was taking too many antacids which had led to osteopenia and several broken bones.

However, I was also suffering from asthmatic bronchitis (severe coughing) and shortness of breath, breakthrough migraines (despite many medications) and quite severe dryness everywhere mouth, eyes, skin etc.

After only 2 months on the diet she gave me, I was down to 1-2/day of Prilosec (from 4-6). But my asthma, migraines, dryness, chronic bronchitis have all pretty much cleared up or at least improved greatly which was not expected at all!! While I was considering surgery for the hernia repair before, that is definitely off the table now and Dr. Murali was a real heroine for me. Thank you so much!

What Clients Are Saying:

"I started seeing Dr. Murali to consider Functional Medicine to address several health conditions that I had not been able to address through conventional medicine and medications. My primary focus was a Fatty Liver, high blood pressure and being pre-diabetic.

I enrolled in her 3-month intensive program. She was very available to meet in person or online as well as communicate as needed over the phone and through the medical chart. The exams she conducted, provided me with a better understanding health deficiency as it pointed to the root of the problems. Together we began to address the health concerns through nutrition and supplements.

Following her advice and coaching, I have been able to lose weight, my liver enzymes are better than they have been in months and my blood pressure is lower than it has every been. I also have more energy as I am able to sleep better. The results contributed to my decision to continue to see her for another year. "

Homeopathy: A Gentle Path to Natural Balance

Homeopathy is a holistic, individualized system of medicine that works with your body’s natural ability to improve health—not by suppressing symptoms, but by stimulating your innate response. It treats the person as a whole, looking at your physical, emotional, and mental patterns to select a remedy that most closely matches your unique symptom picture.

A combination of homeopathy and functional root-cause medicine works very well. We offer this as part of all our other programs, as it is synergistic with our functional medicine approach.

Most patients come to us with multiple diagnoses, medications, needs vary from patient to patient and so do the responses. It is possible sometimes as you get better to have setbacks in your treatments, as we are adjusting your diet periodically. Our goal is to eventually get to the best possible health.
