Welcome! I’m Dr. Max Dula. Using Holistic Functional Medicine I Help You Efficiently Reverse Illness and Restore Your Innate Resilience.
My Journey with Chronic Illness
I am Dr. Max Dula, a Holistic Physician trained in Chiropractic Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Brain Retraining. Growing up, I faced multiple gut and autoimmune conditions, including Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and more. These health challenges were a constant presence in my life, influencing my day-to-day activities and shaping my understanding of chronic illnesses from an early age.
A Turning Point on Wall Street
After graduating from UC Berkeley, I moved to New York to pursue my “dream job” on Wall Street. However, the demanding lifestyle soon took a toll on my health. I began to experience a decline in my well-being, developing additional “mysterious” chronic illnesses such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Brain Fog, Tinnitus, and Joint Pain. These conditions significantly impacted my ability to perform at work and enjoy life.
Struggles with Conventional Medicine
Seeking relief, I consulted numerous doctors specializing in chronic diseases. Despite their best efforts, they were equally frustrated by their inability to help me. By the time I was 24, I was deemed “permanently disabled” and had to return to live with my mother. This marked the beginning of my healing journey, driven by a desperate need to find answers and improve my quality of life.
My Path to Becoming a Holistic Physician
Over the next eight years, I visited countless healthcare providers, from mainstream doctors to alternative practitioners. My quest for answers led me to explore a variety of treatment modalities, but it was only when I decided to help others with similar conditions that I found my true calling. I pursued a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and spent hundreds of hours in post-graduate education, focusing on Functional Medicine, Brain Retraining, and other holistic healing techniques.
A Unique Perspective on Healing
My experiences with diverse treatment approaches ranging from conventional medicine, eastern medicine, homeopathy, bioenergetics, and psychoneuroplasticity have provided me with a broad and inclusive view of disease reversal and disease prevention.
Comprehensive Care with a Personal Touch
In my practice, I integrate my extensive training with the invaluable lessons I’ve learned as a patient. When you become a client, I consider your case from a holistic standpoint, drawing on everything I’ve been exposed to both professionally and personally. If I ever feel that I’m not the best fit for your needs, I will do my utmost to refer you to a specialist who can provide the care you require. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to ensuring you receive the best possible treatment.
Functional Medicine and Telehealth
Understanding the need for accessible healthcare, I offer telehealth services that bring holistic functional medicine directly to you, no matter where you are. Telehealth allows for flexible, convenient consultations that fit into your schedule, making it easier to maintain consistent and personalized care. This approach ensures that you receive the same level of attention and expertise as an in-person visit but with the added convenience of remote access.
Empowering Patients through Education
Education is a cornerstone of my practice. I believe that informed patients are empowered patients. I take the time to explain the underlying causes of your symptoms and the rationale behind each aspect of your treatment plan. Through educational resources, workshops, and one-on-one consultations, I aim to equip you with the knowledge you need to take control of your health journey.
A Commitment to Continuous Learning
The field of functional medicine is ever-evolving, and I am committed to staying at the forefront of these advancements. I regularly attend continuing education seminars and engage with the latest research to ensure that my practice incorporates the most effective and innovative treatments available. This dedication to lifelong learning enables me to provide you with the highest standard of care.
Let's embark on your healing journey together, holistically, and with confidence.
I invite you to join me on a journey towards better health and well-being. Together, we will explore the root causes of your health challenges and develop a comprehensive, personalized plan to address them.
