Whole-Person Healing, Delivered Virtually Across California
At Cerulean Health & Wellness in Los Angeles, our functional medicine telehealth services are designed to do more than manage symptoms — we dig deeper to uncover the root causes of fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, chronic stress, and metabolic challenges.
All of our care is delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth visits, so you can heal from wherever you are in California. As a direct-pay practice, we offer longer appointments, personalized attention, and care plans built around your needs — not insurance limitations.
Our Functional Medicine Telehealth Services
Every functional medicine visit at Cerulean begins with listening. Our telehealth appointments are 60-90 minutes for new clients and 30-45 minutes for follow-ups — a far cry from the rushed 7-minute visits that have become standard in conventional healthcare.
During your visit, David Boyd, DNP will conduct a comprehensive health assessment that goes beyond your symptoms to explore your full health history, lifestyle, stress levels, nutrition, sleep patterns, and environmental exposures. Together, you'll develop a personalized care plan that addresses the root causes of what's making you feel unwell.
All appointments are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant video — available to adults anywhere in California.
✔️100% virtual appointments from anywhere in California
✔️Deep-dive health assessments (not just symptom checklists)
✔️ Root-cause investigation using functional medicine principles
✔️ Customized, actionable care plans
✔️ LGBTQIA+-affirming, judgment-free environment
Functional Medicine Telehealth Visits
Personalized care. Unrushed conversations. Real results.
Root-Cause Lab Testing & Interpretation
We test to understand — not just to confirm what's already obvious.
Standard bloodwork often misses the underlying imbalances that drive chronic symptoms. At Cerulean, we use advanced functional lab testing to get a complete picture of what's happening inside your body — and more importantly, why.
Our functional lab panels include:
Comprehensive hormone panels (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, progesterone)
GI-MAP stool testing for gut infections, dysbiosis, and digestive function
Micronutrient and vitamin deficiency testing
Food sensitivity and intolerance panels
Blood sugar, insulin resistance, and metabolic markers
Inflammation and autoimmune markers (CRP, ANA, homocysteine)
Every test comes with a clear, plain-language interpretation and a personalized action plan. We don't just hand you numbers — we explain what they mean and what to do about them.
If you've ever been told "your labs are normal" when you know something is wrong, this is the testing that finds what others miss.
Supplement & Prescription Support
Science-backed, individualized protocols — not a cabinet full of random supplements.
At Cerulean, we take a targeted approach to supplementation and prescriptions. Every recommendation is based on your lab results, health history, and specific goals — not generic protocols or trends.
✔️ Practitioner-grade supplement guidance based on your lab results
✔️ Thoughtful prescription use only when clinically necessary
✔️ Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) when appropriate
✔️ Fully integrated into your total wellness plan
We empower — not overprescribe. Our goal is to give your body what it needs to heal, then step back as you get stronger.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Plans
Food is medicine. Healing starts at the table.
Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools in functional medicine — but only when it's personalized to your body, your conditions, and your life. At Cerulean, we create custom nutrition and lifestyle plans based on your lab results, food sensitivities, and health goals.
Your plan may include:
Elimination and reintroduction protocols to identify trigger foods
Gut-healing nutrition strategies (for IBS, SIBO, leaky gut, and dysbiosis)
Hormone-balancing meal frameworks
Blood sugar stabilization plans for insulin resistance and metabolic health
Anti-inflammatory eating protocols
Mindful eating support and sustainable habit building
No fad diets. No shame. No one-size-fits-all meal plans. Just evidence-based nutrition guidance that works with your body and your lifestyle.
Stress Management & Nervous System Support
Support your body — without burnout.
Chronic stress doesn't just feel bad — it fundamentally changes your hormones, your gut health, your immune function, and your ability to heal. For LGBTQIA+ individuals, the compounding effects of minority stress, discrimination, and the emotional labor of navigating healthcare systems can create a physiological burden that conventional medicine rarely addresses.
At Cerulean, we provide gentle, effective strategies for:
Cortisol and adrenal health optimization
Nervous system regulation and vagal tone support
Sleep hygiene and circadian rhythm restoration
Breathwork, mindfulness, and stress-reduction techniques
Energy management for people dealing with chronic fatigue
We help you build a sustainable toolkit for managing stress — not just surviving it, but actually recovering from it.
