Meet Dr. Gaila
Welcome! I’m Dr. Gaila, a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Doctor of Natural
Medicine, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath, and Licensed Chiropractic Physician. I also hold a Master’s degree in Biology/Clinical Nutrition and have completed all coursework and hospital rotations toward an M.D. degree.
With 39 years of experience, I am passionate about helping people reclaim their health. Based in beautiful San Diego, I cherish time with my wonderful husband, our three children, and eight energetic grandchildren.
My Mission
I specialize in helping patients who struggle with a wide range of chronic and acute health problems. My approach is rooted in compassion, deep listening, and a commitment to uncovering the root causes of your symptoms—especially when conventional medicine hasn’t provided answers.
My Story
My journey into natural medicine began at age two, when I underwent an unnecessary exploratory surgery to find the cause of my severe abdominal pain. As I grew, I continued to suffer—spending countless hours doubled over in pain, missing out on life’s important moments. Despite seeing numerous doctors and undergoing endless tests, I was repeatedly told that nothing
was wrong, and that I simply needed to “live with it.”
If you’ve ever felt unheard or dismissed in your search for relief, I understand exactly how you feel.
My Breakthrough
Determined to find answers, I devoted years to studying and practicing natural medicine. Through this journey, I discovered that inflammation is at the core of pain, bloating, and most chronic health conditions. By addressing the root causes, true healing is possible.
Are you ready to be truly heard and find real solutions? I’m here to help you on your path to wellness.
