About VitaMed LA

VitaMed LA was founded by Daphna Shalom, PA-C, a board-certified Physician Assistant with over a decade of clinical experience and a passion for helping patients take a proactive approach to their health.

​

Throughout her career, Daphna recognized a common pattern: many patients were told their laboratory results were "normal," yet they continued to struggle with fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, digestive concerns, poor recovery, hormonal symptoms, and other issues that affected their quality of life. While traditional medicine excels at diagnosing and treating disease, there is often limited time during routine appointments to focus on prevention, optimization, and the lifestyle factors that influence long-term health.

​

That realization inspired the creation of VitaMed LA.

​

Rather than replacing primary care, VitaMed LA was designed to complement it by offering a more personalized and comprehensive approach to preventative health. Through in-depth wellness and naturopathic medicine consultations, individualized laboratory evaluations, personalized wellness plans, and ongoing follow-up, we help patients better understand their health, identify areas that may benefit from additional support, and make informed decisions about their long-term well-being.​​

​

Depending on your individual needs, recommendations may include nutrition and lifestyle strategies, targeted supplementation, weight and metabolic health support, peptide therapy when appropriate, IV and injectable nutrient therapy, and additional testing or evaluation when indicated. Every wellness plan is individualized based on your health history, laboratory findings, symptoms, risk factors, and personal goals.​

​

At VitaMed LA, we are committed to practicing with integrity, transparency, and evidence-informed care. Our goal is to give you the time, education, and guidance to better understand your health and take a more proactive role in your long-term wellness.

​

VitaMed LA is designed to complement—not replace—your primary care physician or specialists. We encourage our patients to maintain routine medical care with their existing healthcare providers and, when appropriate, work alongside their healthcare team to support a more complete picture of their health.

​

Because living longer is important—but living healthier is our ultimate goal.
