KOI Wellbeing - La Jolla

KOI Wellbeing operates as a naturopathic and functional medicine clinic in La Jolla, California, where licensed naturopathic doctors integrate peptide therapy with comprehensive wellness protocols since 2015. The clinic structures treatment around three core pillars: gastrointestinal restoration, hormone optimization, and metabolic health, delivering in-person consultations that combine diagnostic testing with therapeutic interventions including intravenous nutrient therapy and prescription peptide protocols.

The clinic's peptide offerings center on semaglutide for metabolic dysfunction and weight management, paired with NAD+ therapy administered through IV infusion for cellular energy support and mitochondrial function. Semaglutide programs at KOI Wellbeing include baseline metabolic panels, body composition analysis, and structured dosing protocols that naturopathic physicians adjust based on patient response and tolerance. NAD+ infusions are formulated at varying concentrations depending on treatment goals, whether addressing chronic fatigue, cognitive performance, or supporting recovery from substance dependence. These peptide therapies integrate with the clinic's broader hormone balancing services, which include testosterone replacement therapy for both men and women using bioidentical formulations, along with thyroid optimization and adrenal support protocols.

KOI Wellbeing's naturopathic doctors hold ND degrees from accredited four-year naturopathic medical programs and maintain California naturopathic medicine licenses, enabling them to order comprehensive lab panels, prescribe bioidentical hormones, and supervise peptide therapy protocols. The clinical team includes registered nurses who administer IV therapies and perform aesthetic procedures such as neuromodulator injections, creating a practice model that addresses both internal wellness and external appearance concerns. The gut health specialty involves functional stool testing, SIBO breath tests, and food sensitivity panels that inform personalized elimination diets, antimicrobial herbal protocols, and targeted probiotic selection—often combined with IV nutrient therapy to address malabsorption issues while the gastrointestinal lining heals.

Patients visiting the La Jolla location undergo initial consultations lasting 60 to 90 minutes, during which naturopathic doctors review medical history, current symptoms, and previous lab work before ordering additional functional medicine testing. Follow-up appointments track biomarker changes, adjust peptide dosing, and modify supplement protocols based on patient response. The clinic maintains an in-house dispensary stocked with pharmaceutical-grade supplements, allowing patients to obtain recommended products immediately rather than sourcing them independently. IV therapy sessions occur in dedicated infusion rooms where patients receive treatments ranging from basic hydration and vitamin C to more complex formulations containing glutathione, B vitamins, and amino acids, with NAD+ infusions typically requiring two to four hours depending on dosage and patient tolerance.

KOI Wellbeing differentiates itself in the San Diego County functional medicine landscape through its integration of naturopathic principles with prescription therapies including peptides and bioidentical hormones, a combination that requires both naturopathic medical training and California state licensure. The clinic does not offer telehealth services, maintaining an exclusively in-person model that allows for hands-on assessment, in-office procedures, and immediate IV therapy administration. This approach serves La Jolla residents and patients throughout San Diego County who prefer face-to-face clinical relationships and access to same-day treatments such as immune support IV infusions, hormone injections, or aesthetic procedures without coordinating separate appointments across multiple providers.
