History
Established in 1996.
We began as a chiropractic clinic helping patients only on the outside. Then, in 2010, we expanded to include Functional medicine. Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership.
We noticed that most disease comes from inflammation caused by what people ate. Then, we thought, what if we helped people change what they ate, would it help eliminate disease? Not only did it help eliminate disease, but it helped patients lose excess weight. We custom build your weight loss program with acceleration boosters to work with the body and release excess weight.
As a functional medicine doctor, Dr. Ian Yamane, incorporated how each patient's differences determine which weight loss protocol to prescribe. We see results because of the customized approach and we are excited for the progression of our weight loss clinic.
Valhalla Wellness and Medical Centers is a multidisciplinary healthcare center providing the best inintegrative and "whole person" care for each patient.
Dr. Ian Yamane was born in San Diego County. His mother was ill for more than 20 years. His father witnessed the spirited and energetic woman being held back by her sick body. He was forced to stay in bed with her.
Her vitality was low and she was constantly sick. His father took over the care of his wife and raised a family while he worked full-time. As he hoped that the pills would cure his wife, it was difficult for Dr. Yamane when his parents returned from each doctor's visit.
There were moments when she seemed to be cured. But, slowly she returned to her bed. She died at an early age after meeting with top medical specialists. Since that time, Dr.
Yamane has had an intense desire to begin his quest to find a solution for people suffering from chronic or difficult-to-treat conditions. He wants all family members to have optimal health. His research and development in patient care will ensure that every person within a family does not suffer from the same debilitating illness that kept his family away from the happiness they would have enjoyed. He graduated from medical school with high honors in 1993 and realized his goal of becoming a doctor.
