Taylor Medical Group — Atlanta, Georgia
Holistic Doctors in Atlanta, Georgia
Physician-led holistic medicine — hormone therapy, IV nutrition, medical weight loss, functional testing, and integrative psychiatry under one roof in Sandy Springs.
Most of our patients have seen three, four, sometimes six doctors before they find us. Their labs come back normal. They’re told nothing is wrong. But they still feel exhausted, foggy, heavy, or off in a way they can’t quite explain. That’s exactly who we built this practice for.
At Taylor Medical Group, our holistic doctors in Atlanta — among the most experienced in Georgia — combine conventional medicine with functional testing, hormone therapy, IV nutrition, and integrative psychiatry. Rather than guessing, we test first, then build a plan around what the results actually show.
In fact, holistic doctors understand that the mind and body are not separate systems — they constantly influence each other. Chronic stress raises cortisol, which disrupts hormones, impairs sleep, and drives weight gain. Depression and anxiety can also have hormonal or nutritional roots that no antidepressant will fix. Meanwhile, pain, fatigue, and inflammation can all be worsened by what’s happening emotionally. Treating one without addressing the other rarely produces lasting results.
As a result, holistic medicine looks at the total person — your hormones, your gut, your nutrient levels, your mental health, your stress, your sleep, and your environment — all at once. When you treat the whole picture, you often find that the symptoms driving someone toward medication, procedures, or even surgery have an underlying cause that nobody looked for.

What Holistic Medicine Actually Looks Like in Atlanta
The word “holistic” gets used loosely. For us, it has a specific meaning: we look at everything that could be driving your symptoms — not just the obvious things, but the ones most doctors never test for.
That means salivary hormone panels, not just standard blood work. Intracellular nutrient testing, not just a basic metabolic panel. Neurocognitive screening. Biological age markers. Arterial health. Body composition. Heavy metal levels. Food sensitivities. Gut function.
When we see what’s actually going on, we can do something about it. That might be hormone optimization, IV therapy, peptide therapy, detoxification, nutrition support, or integrative psychiatric care. Sometimes it’s a combination. Either way, it starts with real information — not assumptions.
This is what separates holistic medicine in Atlanta from a wellness center. We are physicians who run real diagnostic testing, prescribe treatments, and make clinical decisions. The difference is that we do it with the full picture in front of us.
Patients Who Come to Us
Our patients come in with a wide range of concerns. Some are dealing with chronic issues that haven’t responded to standard treatment. Others feel fine on paper but know something is off. Common reasons people seek holistic health care in Atlanta and surrounding areas:
- Fatigue, brain fog, or low energy that doesn’t improve with rest
- Hormone imbalances — perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone, thyroid problems, PMDD, PMS, PCOS, low or high cortisol, and growth hormone deficiency
- Metabolic diseases — type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and lipid storage disorders
- Weight gain that won’t budge despite doing everything right
- Anxiety, depression, or mood changes that may have a hormonal or nutritional root
- Autoimmune conditions or chronic inflammation
- Digestive problems, food sensitivities, or leaky gut
- Environmental toxin exposure or heavy metal burden
- Poor sleep, memory problems, or wanting to improve brain health
- Cardiovascular health support for those wanting an integrative approach
- Wanting to understand their biological age and slow the aging process
If you’ve been told your labs are normal but you still don’t feel right, then you’re a good candidate for what we do. However, you don’t need a chronic illness to benefit — many of our patients simply want to understand their health at a deeper level.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit with our holistic doctors in Atlanta is longer than what you’re probably used to. We take a full history — your sleep, stress, diet, hormone history, medications, and anything you think might be relevant. Then we run the right tests.
Testing We Run
- Salivary hormone testing — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol
- Intracellular nutrient analysis — what’s inside your cells, not just blood levels
- Diagnostic Screening Tests — neurocognitive, arterial health, body composition
- Biological age testing — epigenetic markers
- Heavy metal and toxin panels
- Food sensitivity and gut health testing
Once we have results, we sit down with you and build a treatment plan that fits your life and goals — not a generic protocol. Then, follow-up visits track your progress and adjust the plan as your body responds. Throughout this process, we stay involved.
Disciplines Within Holistic Medicine
Holistic medicine is the umbrella philosophy. Several specialized disciplines fall under it, each with its own focus and methodology. At Taylor Medical Group, we practice all of them together rather than in isolation.
The diagnostic methodology of holistic medicine. Functional medicine uses advanced testing — salivary hormone panels, intracellular nutrient analysis, gut health testing, heavy metal panels, biological age markers — to find the root causes driving your symptoms. Rather than matching a drug to a diagnosis, it asks why the problem developed in the first place.
The treatment philosophy of holistic medicine. Integrative medicine combines the best of conventional care with evidence-informed natural, nutritional, and alternative therapies. It doesn’t reject conventional medicine — it uses it alongside IV nutrition, hormone therapy, mind-body approaches, and other tools that conventional medicine typically doesn’t offer.
A specialty focus within holistic medicine aimed at slowing biological aging and extending healthspan — not just lifespan. Longevity medicine uses epigenetic age testing, peptide therapy, hormone optimization, NAD+ IV, and advanced cardiovascular markers to measure how fast you’re aging and build protocols to slow it down. Anti-aging medicine falls under this discipline.
Restorative Medicine
Focused on restoring optimal function rather than just managing decline. Restorative medicine includes regenerative therapies like PRP, ozone injections, peptide therapy, and hormone restoration — tools that help the body repair and rebuild rather than simply compensate for what’s been lost.
Energy Medicine
Therapies that work at the bioenergetic level to support healing, reduce inflammation, and restore cellular function. At Taylor Medical Group, energy medicine includes PEMF therapy, photobiomodulation (light therapy), infrared therapy, and ozone therapy — all of which influence how cells produce and use energy.
Holistic Medicine Services We Offer in Atlanta
Holistic medicine in Atlanta covers a wide range of services because both doctors have deep training across multiple disciplines — all from a single location.
Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement, testosterone therapy, thyroid treatment, adrenal support, menopause and perimenopause care. We test with salivary hormone panels and customize dosing to what your body actually needs.
IV Therapy
NAD+, glutathione, high-dose vitamin C, Myers Cocktail, iron, methylene blue, and more — all administered by physicians, not technicians. IV therapy bypasses the digestive system so nutrients reach your cells directly.
Medical Weight Loss
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, and hormone-optimized weight loss programs that treat the metabolic root cause, not just the number on the scale. Weight that won’t move often has a hormonal driver we can address.
Integrative Psychiatry
Talk therapy, ketamine therapy, and hormone-informed mental health care with a board certified psychiatrist on staff. Dr. Ava Bell-Taylor trained in both psychiatry and functional medicine — very few psychiatrists have that dual background.
Longevity Medicine
Biological age testing, epigenetic analysis, peptide therapy, and longevity protocols to slow aging at the root. We don’t just add years — we focus on making sure those years feel good.
Additional Services We Provide
Environmental Detox & Chelation
Heavy metal testing and IV chelation to remove lead, mercury, arsenic, and other toxins that standard labs miss. Environmental toxin burden is one of the most underappreciated drivers of chronic illness.
Chronic Disease & Integrative Medicine
Root-cause care for autoimmune conditions, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, leaky gut, and other chronic illnesses that conventional medicine manages but rarely resolves.
Pain, Injuries & Regenerative Therapies
Ozone injections, PRP, PEMF, photobiomodulation, and soundwave therapy for joint pain, sports injuries, and chronic inflammation — without relying on pain medications or rushing into surgery.
Integrative Cancer Support
High-dose vitamin C IV, mistletoe therapy, NAD+, and immune support protocols designed to work alongside your oncology team — not replace it.
Cosmetic Services
Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, microneedling, RF microneedling, chemical peels, and more — all performed by physicians, not aestheticians or nurses.
Ozone Insufflation Therapy
Rectal and ear ozone insufflation to support immune function, reduce inflammation, and improve gut health — a gentle, systemic delivery method that doesn’t require IV access.
Meet the Holistic Doctors at Our Atlanta Practice
Both doctors are directly involved in your care. That’s not something most practices can say.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a holistic doctor?
A holistic doctor is a licensed physician who looks at your whole health picture — not just one symptom in isolation. At Taylor Medical Group, our holistic doctors in Atlanta are licensed M.D.s who use advanced diagnostics, hormone therapy, IV nutrition, and integrative treatments alongside conventional medicine.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a cash-pay practice. Many of the tests and treatments we offer are not covered by insurance because they go beyond what conventional medicine provides. We can provide documentation for HSA or FSA reimbursement in some cases.
How is this different from a regular doctor?
Most doctors treat the symptom — high blood sugar gets metformin, low mood gets an antidepressant, pain gets a pill. We ask why. Then we treat the cause. Sometimes that means the same medications. Often it means something your regular doctor never considered.
Where are you located?
5901 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Suite C25, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA 30328. We see patients from Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Chamblee, and greater Atlanta.
