Citrin Wellness — Local services in Beverly Hills

I came to Dr. Citrin in July 2024 after drastic changes in my weight, digestion, mood and mental clarity.  I have always been petite and have never struggled with unexplained weight gain, and up to this point in my life found slight changes in diet or exercise could make me shed weight easily.  In less than 3 months, I had gained 15# with no change in diet or exercise, and my GI tract  felt sluggish, backed up and bloated.  Brain fog was becoming a daily occurrence, and I felt like I was struggling for the first time in my own medical career. After hearing his name from several trusted clients, I scheduled my initial consultation.  He listened attentively and took thorough detailed medical, genealogical and relevant personal history.  He recommend a battery of tests with follow up to discuss initial treatments.

Following my diagnostics of full blood work, hormones, Dutch test, Gut Zoomer and SIBO testing, I learned that I was gluten intolerant and in menopause at the age of 45 (which many doctors had told me was not a thing- I was too young).  Dr. Citrin put me on gut enzymes and a gluten free diet to start, and also encouraged weight lifting regimen- I lost 6# in just a few weeks and for the first time in almost a year, my GI signs began to resolve and I didn't feel bloated all the time.  At the next consult we began discussing HRT with the goal to try to get me out of menopause and into perimenopause.  I started transdermal estrogen patches and oral progesterone.  For the first time in nearly a decade, I began having a regular cycle.  Brain fog lifted, and my overall energy improved.  Within 6 months, I was down 10# and feeling better, but I really did want to aim for "best I have ever felt in my life." Dr. Citrin took these goals very seriously and began adding peptides, NAD, and a few other hormone tweaks.  I am now 10 months from my initial consult, and I am down over 20#, and have lost 11% body fat.  I did not lose even 0.5# of muscle during my weight loss due to a diet of high protein, high fiber, and weight training.  Somewhere in the mix, I also realized that my lifelong psoriasis has completely resolved. I have no plaques or "scars" that are normally evident even in periods of clear skin. My hair and nails are growing at an accelerated rate-- my hairstylist is seeing a ton of new growth and commented that my hair is growing faster.  Vitality and clarity are higher than I can remember even in my early twenties.

Dr. Citrin is very personable and attentive, his precision and attention to detail unparalleled. Nothing is ever rushed and medical decisions are made collaboratively.  Your medical issues are resolved from the root source and not masked with medications or brushed off as "natural/ normal for this stage of life."  He is a rare combination of scientific rigor and heartfelt compassion that has catalyzed meaningful change in my life.  His office staff are always kind and responsive.  I am so incredibly thankful to be under the care of this clinic.

Dr. Citrin completely cured my stomach problems when no other doctor could.

I’d been having constant and often severe bloating and nausea after every meal for about 3 years. I had seen multiple gastroenterologists and been diagnosed with several conditions, tried various different medications and diets that didn’t work. I was so frustrated and hopeless. The last opinion I’d gotten was that I had severe treatment resistant SIBO, and that the next step was the Elemental Diet, which is a fully powdered diet, for 2 weeks. The stories I’d seen online made it sound torturous, so I went looking for another opinion. Luckily I found Dr. Citrin.

He came recommended by my aunt, who had been having her own severe stomach problems her whole life until Dr. Citrin cured them. I was skeptical about naturopathy as a science, but from our very first meeting Dr. Citrin was more knowledgeable about the inner workings of the human body than any other doctor I’d met with. He started with like a wholistic interview about my life, random things I’d never considered from when I was a baby that apparently all affected my system. We did some tests and tried a few different treatment plans. There was definitely some trial and error, but through the whole process he was clear and direct and explained his thought process as we got new information, which was really helpful for me to feel like I knew what was going on.

After a couple months of trial and error he found I had a Candida infection in my stomach, a diagnosis I had not gotten before. He put me on a no sugar, no simple carb diet, in combination with certain medications and supplements. It took about 5 months, but I have been eating fully normally for about 2-3 weeks now and the problem is pretty much gone! It is such a relief I cannot even express how grateful I am I found Dr. Citrin. It was not an easy process, but I see now that a process that is long and hard because it really works is much better than a quick fix that doesn’t really do anything, which I feel like is all I was getting from the more mainstream doctors I was seeing.

His people are super nice and helpful, and though it was out of pocket/not covered by insurance, it was absolutely worth it and Dr. Citrin will work with you to stay within your financial means as much as possible.

When I was in my 20s and mid 30s I would eat in-n-out multiple times a week, ice cream most nights, a spread of Indian food (you get the idea) and not gain a pound. Fast forward to my late 30s, I couldn't eat a fraction of that. Brain fog and fatigue were also a regular part of my day. I tried so many things - none of which gave me the sustainable natural feeling of health and wealth I have today. Those include a personal trainer 4x week, a questionable mix of "supplements" throughout the day, modafinil (dangerous), cutting alcohol, power walking 4 miles a day, b-12 injections, infrared saunas and many more desperate attempts to just feel light on my feet and good. Thank god I wasn't willing to accept the way I felt as "aging" or "that's just how it is". I found Doctor Guy through a friend. He helped me understand 1) I needed a thyroid medicine 2) how to eat for nutrition not taste 3) an injectable weight loss medicine that I did at home to give me the discipline to choose healthy foods. Doctor Guy was hands down the best experience I've had yet. Not only were the prices so fair (I paid out of pocket because I don't believe in health insurance and I was raised as a Christian Scientist) but his patient portal system to book appointments or communicate with his staff was so modern and so easy to manage with my busy schedule. 8 weeks later, I feel amazing. I've lost 32 lbs and have a renewed natural source of energy. As I write this review I'm sipping a matcha latte and snacking on some mixed nuts feeling very grateful for Doctor Guy. He's a modern doctor who believes in blending east and western medicine while still offering affordable prices. Customer for life right here....
