Holiatry investigates the patterns underneath fatigue, weight resistance, hormone chaos, gut dysfunction, brain fog, and the hundred other symptoms your basic panel can't see.
Waking up exhausted after a full night of sleep
YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG
Crashing every afternoon, relying on caffeine
Brain fog — slow, unfocused, not yourself
Gaining weight despite doing everything right
Dismissed by doctors whose labs show "normal"
Nothing has stuck — tired of starting over
hormones,
You've been told it's stress,
or your age. We're trained to look
deeper.
The women who come to Holiatry have already done the work. They've sat in the appointment chair. They've taken the labs. They've left with the polite "everything looks fine" while their bodies kept telling them otherwise.
Most of them have been to two or three providers. Tried supplements they researched at 11 p.m. Switched diets. Started birth control. Stopped birth control. Pushed through. Pushed through again. And still feel like a stranger in their own body.
Functional dysfunction shows up before disease does. Most basic labs aren't built to find it. We are.
We run the panels your primary care doesn't order — hormone, thyroid, metabolic, gut, inflammation, nutrient, genetic when needed. We read them through the lens of the whole patient instead of one specialty. And we tell you what we see, in language you can actually use.
Conventional care is excellent at finding disease and treating it. That's a different job than ours. We're looking for the patterns — in your hormones, gut, thyroid, metabolism, nervous system, and inflammation markers — that are quietly driving how you feel long before any disease shows up on a screening.
That changes how we practice in four specific ways:
Most medicine is built to manage disease. We're built to investigate dysfunction.
HOW WE PRACTICE
1.
First visits are 45 minutes, not seven. We need the history, the symptom timeline, and the context. Rushing it doesn't work.
VISIT TIME
2.
Holiatry's initial workup runs over 100 markers, because the answer is usually in patterns and ratios that basic panels skip.
comprehensive testing
3.
Not a one-size protocol. Your plan reflects your labs, your history, your real life, and what your body is actually asking for.
data backed personalized plan
4.
Programs that walk you through the deeper restoration your body needs, more than just tests and pills.

Don't take our word for it
The patients who walk through our door are usually exhausted, dismissed, and out of options. A year later...
The body in front of us today is not the body we leave you with.
WHAT'S POSSIBLE
A 42-year-old nurse with months of nausea and chronic GI distress is back to cooking dinner for her family, down 40 pounds, and her gut is finally quiet.
A 48-year-old former cardiac nurse with a frightening family history is down 35 pounds with insulin resistance reversed and her cholesterol stabilized.
A 41-year-old widow grieving through fatigue and panic is down 40 pounds, energy restored, brain fog gone, parenting again with presence.
A 43-year-old contractor who walked in with a blood sugar of 500 mg/dL and refused hospitalization is in the prediabetic range now, working full days, on minimal medication.
A 60-year-old man whose blood pressure had become resistant despite multiple medications got a correct diagnosis (primary hyperaldosteronism) within his first lab review, and is now safely controlled on a single medication.
For the woman who knows something is off and is ready to stop guessing. Foundational testing, detox, hormone work, and lifestyle calibration.

Shelby Pope spent years practicing inside one of the largest healthcare systems in the country.
She watched patients come in exhausted, struggling, clearly not okay, and then leave with a prescription and no explanation. She kept pushing for more time with patients, more depth, more honesty about what was actually driving their symptoms.
Until she was told that visit lengths needed to be cut even shorter. Because efficiency mattered more than understanding.
That was the last day she practiced medicine that way.
She left. She bought a building in her own community and built Holiatry from scratch. Not because it was easy. Because she refused to keep practicing medicine in a way that was failing the people in front of her.
She built this practice because the system was failing you

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We operate as a direct-pay practice. This allows us to spend more time with patients and offer more comprehensive testing and care.
What happens at the first visit?
Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation where we review your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and previous labs. From there we identify patterns, determine whether additional testing is needed, and begin building your personalized plan.
What kinds of symptoms do you help with?
We commonly work with patients experiencing fatigue, hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, digestive problems, brain fog, sleep disturbances, and symptoms that persist despite “normal” lab results.
Is this approach right for me?
Holiatry is best suited for people who want to understand why their symptoms are happening and are willing to make meaningful lifestyle changes to restore their health.
What if my labs have been “normal”?
Many functional imbalances are missed on basic screening labs. We evaluate patterns and root causes that often go overlooked.
Do I need functional lab testing?
Not always. Some patients already have useful labs, while others benefit from deeper testing to uncover patterns that basic screening may miss. We determine what testing is appropriate based on your symptoms and history.
How long does it take to see results?
Every patient is different. Some notice improvements within weeks. Others require deeper investigation and longer-term restoration. This is why we offer a membership model that allows us to support you through the full healing process.
Will I have to stop seeing my primary care doctor?
No. Holiatry is designed to complement conventional care, not replace it. Many patients continue working with their primary care provider while we focus on deeper investigation and root-cause support.
Do you offer virtual visits?
Yes. Visits can be completed through secure telehealth, depending on your needs and location.
