Description At my practice, I focus on patient-centered care that uncovers and addresses the root causes of health issues, with a commitment to holistic healing beyond symptom suppression. My expertise is guided by continuing education in the study of mold, Lyme disease, and other chronic inflammatory conditions, which are often overlooked in traditional medicine. I work with patients facing complex symptoms—chronic fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, and more—many of whom have been dismissed by conventional specialists. In our foundational 90-minute assessment, I review lab results, health histories, and results from diagnostic tools like the PNOĒ Breath Analysis and GlycoCheck to gain a full picture of each patient’s health. For those focused on brain health, I also offer the BrainSpan® test, which evaluates key nutritional and cognitive metrics. At the end of the visit, patients receive a tailored functional lab report with personalized recommendations for diet, supplements, exercise, and mindset, helping them regain control over their health.
Dr. Julia Ward is a compassionate and pioneering physician with over a decade of expertise in functional medicine, offering a holistic, patient-centered approach to health and wellness. After earning her medical degree from the University of Southern California and serving in the U.S. Navy, where she practiced general, urgent, and emergency medicine both domestically and abroad, she faced personal health challenges that led her to functional medicine. Frustrated by the limitations of conventional care, Dr. Ward embraced a root-cause approach, completing a fellowship with the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine in 2016. She has since dedicated her career to empowering patients with knowledge, promoting sustainable lifestyle changes, and integrating cutting-edge science into her practice to address physical and environmental factors impacting health. A devoted wife and mother of five, Dr. Ward combines her passion for medicine with a steadfast commitment to improving lives through transformative care.
