About Dr. Catalina
Dr. Giselle Catalina is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor who graduated from Bastyr University in San Diego. Growing up in rural New England set the stage for a lifelong appreciation of the intricate balance between science and nature. She graduated with a B.A. in Sociology and Spanish language and literature from Georgetown University and is fluent in Spanish. Her ten-year teaching career in Madrid, Spain, taught her how to motivate, support, and inspire confidence in others.
As a child, she suffered from recurrent infections and as an adult, chronic acne, PCOS, and a multitude of digestive problems. Years of suppressive treatments and dismissive doctors left her always wondering why her body wasn't working as it should. After finally discovering compassion and lasting solutions through holistic medicine, she set out on an inspiring path to heal others.
In keeping with Naturopathic philosophy, she emphasizes understanding and treating the whole person. she looks at all aspects of a person's concerns - mental, emotional, and physical - plus their environment, genetics, and lifestyle to create a personalized and dynamic treatment plan in line with patient goals. she applies her extensive training in functional medicine and advanced labs to identify the pathways that are not working, treat root causes of symptoms, and pave the road to optimal health.
She treats a wide variety of conditions, including digestive disorders, autoimmune disease, stress resilience and adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, insulin resistance, heart disease, PCOS and obesity. she recognizes how hormonal and nutrient imbalances, mental and emotional factors, untreated infections, toxicities, and inflammation can set the stage for all kinds of symptom patterns in chronic complex disease.
She utilizes a range of modalities including botanical medicine, nutrition, counseling, bioidentical hormones, IV therapy and PRP aesthetics to heal patients from the inside out.
Many people approach their health from a place of fear and frustration. She understands the struggle of getting to the bottom of one's health issues. Her goal for her patients is to acquire the knowledge and confidence they need to make informed decisions and thrive as their best selves.
