Carolina Holistic Medicine
Carolina Holistic Medicine is a multi-provider functional and integrative medicine practice located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, founded and led by Dr. Yusuf (JP) Saleeby, MD. The clinical team also includes Chris Jackman, FNP-BC (COO and Lead Provider) and April Lenker, FNP-BC.
Dr. Saleeby is a physician (Holistic & Integrative) who spent nearly two decades in emergency, occupational, and family medicine before shifting his focus fully to functional and integrative medicine in 2013. He is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS, as a recognized Lyme Literate Medical Doctor), the Academy for Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine (AARM), and the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI). He also holds Senior Fellow status with the IMA (formerly FLCCC) and is a Certified Tribal Practitioner through the FNMB. The practice’s nurse practitioners are trained through Dr. Saleeby’s own Priority Health Academy, a functional medicine training program he founded in 2016, and he personally reviews and signs off on all new patient care plans.
The practice’s focus areas include hormone balance, chronic Lyme disease and co-infections, mold and mycotoxin illness, heavy metal toxicity, chronic viral illness, EMF/RF sensitivity, food allergies and sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, medication and iatrogenic injury, and general chronic and complex illness that has not resolved with conventional care. This range of stated specialties, particularly mold illness, heavy metal and environmental toxicity, and EMF sensitivity, along with ISEAI membership, points to direct clinical familiarity with environmentally acquired illness. The website describes a root-cause approach that combines conventional diagnostic tools with functional, genomic, hormonal, and predictive lab testing to identify underlying drivers of symptoms, followed by individualized treatment protocols rather than symptom management alone.
Services include extended new patient visits (60 minutes or longer), advanced diagnostic and functional lab testing, natural hormone replacement, nutritional coaching, prescribing when appropriate, and referrals to an affiliated network for services such as HBOT, IV therapy, and other treatments not offered on-site. The practice operates as a Direct Primary Care membership model and has offered telemedicine since 2013, serving patients nationwide in addition to in-person visits at its Mt. Pleasant office; the website does not list specific states excluded from telehealth. The practice does not accept insurance or Medicare but provides a superbill for possible reimbursement through private insurers, and does not mention HSA/FSA eligibility. The website does not describe a free discovery call, though prospective patients are invited to call or email with questions before scheduling.
