Dr. Lifestyle

The practice takes a root-cause approach, stating that short-term symptom relief without addressing underlying causes often results in symptoms returning or shifting elsewhere, and that integrative medicine looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand how lifestyle, environment, nutrition, and physiology interact. Primary specialty areas include rheumatology and autoimmune disease, integrative and functional medicine, integrative psychiatry, holistic weight loss, hormone balancing, and direct primary care.

Both in-person visits at the Newport Beach clinic and telemedicine are available. Dr. Mondala sees patients in California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Idaho, while Dr. Yu sees patients in California, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, Utah, and Washington. International patients are also served via telemedicine. The practice does not accept insurance and is out of network with all commercial insurance and opted out of Medicare, though superbills are provided for self-submission to insurance. The website does not mention HSA/FSA eligibility or a free discovery call, though a direct primary care model with longer 45 to 60 minute visits is emphasized.
