About Dr. Brandi Holmes NMD 

Welcome to LOEA Wellness! I’m Dr. B, and I’m thrilled to help you unlock your full potential through a holistic approach to health and physical performance. My mission is to guide you in optimizing your well-being by addressing the interconnectedness of your body’s systems.

I began my journey at San Diego State University, where I earned undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology and Cellular and Molecular Biology. While pursuing my studies, I gained invaluable hands-on experience working at a physical therapy clinic for five years. There, I honed my skills in rehabilitative interventions, including aquatic therapy, Pilates, electrotherapeutic devices, and functional movement assessments.

My passion for integrative medicine led me to Bastyr University California in San Diego, where I earned my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. At Bastyr, I embraced a holistic perspective on health, learning to assess and treat medical conditions using whole-body medicine and the least invasive methods. My training included diverse therapies such as herbal medicine, nutrient supplementation, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and more. I also acquired additional expertise in physical medicine, including soft tissue manipulation, therapeutic exercise, and electrotherapy treatments.

While my love for sports medicine grew throughout my time at Bastyr, I discovered that true performance enhancement goes beyond rehabilitation. Science reveals that the musculoskeletal system interacts with and is influenced by all of the body’s organ systems. This understanding shapes my approach: assessing and optimizing the functionality of multiple organ systems to achieve whole-body health and peak performance.

At LOEA Wellness, I’m dedicated to helping you thrive by addressing your unique needs with personalized, evidence-based care. Whether you’re an athlete striving for peak performance or someone looking to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this journey to health and vitality together!

It is important to repair the cellular and tissue integrity in order for the body to function properly. This can be achieved with diet, nutritive therapy, herbs, injections, sleep assessment and more.

Rehabilitate

Once the integrity of the tissues are repaired, the next step is to rehabilitate, tonify, and/or strengthen the target area and surrounding tissues. There’s many different ways to approach this including exercise and physical medicine.

Prevention

Lastly, in order to maintain normal function of the tissue, it is important to adopt habits to prevent the injury from happening again. This can be done by lifestyle assessment, diet, exercise, herbs, supplements, and so on.
