Our Happy Patients

Dr. Julia is top-notch - a highly intelligent MD with a calm disposition, an expert listener who explains things in layperson terms and genuinely partners with you to achieve your health goals.

- Lori P.
I was having all sorts of symptoms caused by improper eating and immunity issues--bloating, brain fog, sinus and skin issues, tiredness, and more--and Dr. Julia used her expertise to help me find keys to better health and to MUCH happier living.

- Amy S.
Dr. Buchkina is the epitome of what a physician should be: a skilled and compassionate listener, a wise healer, a constant learner. She provided me guidance and treatment that addressed complex thyroid problems through a combination of diet and medicine and helped my energy levels immensely. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

$Learn the science of building muscle - and how to keep it - in our January Muscle Building Challenge! Sign up now for early access to the protocol so you are ready to hit the ground running on January 1 - see link in bio. You will be guided step-by-step with group health coaching support to make lifestyle changes that support muscle growth. There will be cash prizes for most muscle built! Why build more skeletal muscle? There are numerous benefits! 1. Skeletal muscle is metabolically active, meaning it burns more calories at rest than fat tissue. Building more muscle mass can lead to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR), helping with weight management and fat loss. 2. Resistance training, which is essential for muscle building, has been shown to increase bone density. This is particularly important for preventing osteoporosis and reducing the risk of fractures. 3. Muscle tissue plays a role in glucose metabolism. Increasing muscle mass can improve insulin sensitivity, helping to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. 4. Strong muscles provide better support to joints, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of injuries 5. Resistance training improves flexibility and range of motion, which help to prevent age-related decline in mobility and functional independence.$
