Case Studies & Reviews
Hearing from and seeing smiles on my patients' faces is WHY I got into functional medicine and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
I've said it a 1000 times and I won't stop any time soon- you don't have to accept your symptoms as "normal."
I am passionate about helping men and women address the root cause of their symptoms, whether through gut healing, hormone replacement, toxicities, allergies, or nutrient deficiencies.

I highly recommend this incredible gem in Pasadena, the employees are incredible and knowledgeable. I purchased the Myers Cocktail + Glutathione Push which is very invigorating. The office is beautiful and the service is catered to perfection. Thank you for the beautiful experience I will be back for more.

When I first met with Dr. Taylor, she suggested taking a test to see how my hormone levels were doing. This was great because no other doctor had suggested this before. Come to find out they were extremely low, both estrogen & progesterone. She informed me that this is key for having a successful pregnancy & pregnancies sometimes end in miscarriage because of low progesterone from the mother. WOW! Finally an answer that makes sense!
Through months of estrogen creams & progesterone supplements we began to work toward balancing my levels. I am so happy to report that I am currently 7 weeks pregnant! Last week we went to the OBGYN & saw & heard the heartbeat on the ultrasound. It was amazing! I feel really confident with this pregnancy that it is going to go full term because I have Dr. Taylor in my corner & she is monitoring my hormones every step of the way. Thank you so much & I would highly recommend her to anyone who is having challenges getting & staying pregnant.

It was during my initial consultation with Dr. Taylor, as she poured over my test results, that I realized she was different from the other doctors I had seen. Her comprehensive approach and thorough knowledge of gut health was impressive. She diagnosed my condition and explained in detail the treatment plan – which included herbal antibiotics and a special diet. Everything she said made sense to me and I wondered why no other doctor had provided me with this course of treatment. After three months of following her plan, I’m already feeling so much better and have the test results to prove it. I’m so happy I decided to see Dr. Taylor, I only wish I had done it sooner.

I will definitely be back and will tell me friends to visit as well

Dr. Julie is great at creating a welcoming atmosphere for new patients. I typically dread doctor visits, but the staff and atmosphere is very welcoming. I’m also impressed with the organization and I like getting the reminder email of my next visit. Go with Dr. Julie if you are looking in the Pasadena area.

The girls here are fantastic! They have been able to help me on many levels from hormones to dietary patterns! Both Julie and Whitney really know what they’re doing. I’d highly recommend them if you need a lifestyle shift and have been feeling off your game, or sick all the time.

Never in a million years did I think I would become a plant based advocate or believer, but with education and the reality of my health I am on board for life. I have lost 45 lbs in 5 months just by removing meat, oil and dairy from my diet. My cholesterol and A1C are lower than ever and i feel great.
Dr Taylor and her staff (Bridgett/Whitney or Brittany) are the best, thank you Dr Taylor you have a Patient for life!
Gloria
I’m very grateful for Dr. Taylor’s care and especially enjoy the Metagenics supplements. They have really helped with my hormonal imbalances! I also learned a lot from Whitney, the nutritionist in her office.

As a 51 year old wife and mother of 2 young boys, I wasn’t feeling myself. My sleep was horrible and I couldn’t go back to sleep if woken by any little thing… I felt major anxiety and had a hard time being in enclosed spaces- even elevators. This was unusual for me as I had never experienced anything like this and was always a great sleeper of 8 to 9 hours a night.
Gradually as I approached 50, these symptoms worsened until I could take it no longer.
After reading Susanne Somers book “I’m too young for this” I became intrigued by BHRT and began to seek out a doctor.
After doing some research, I was pleasantly surprised to find Julie Taylor’s practice right in my own back yard practically.
After receiving the initial BHRT pellet, everything changed! I literally was falling asleep and staying asleep for 9 hours again! My feelings of anxiety and panic completely went away and I overall felt much younger and happier.
In addition to feeling much better, I feel confident with my BHRT program as I feel like I am doing the best to prevent premature aging and reduce my risk of many cancers.
Julie Taylor takes the time to really understand you and your unique situation. She will study your blood work, talk with you about your life and health goals and create a wellness plan for you that may also include vitamin therapy.
I would recommend her and her beautiful practice to anyone seeking relief from ANY type of menopausal symptoms or even to just feel healthier and happier!
She truly is LIFE CHANGING!!

I came here as someone who was struggling with mental illness and who could not lose weight no matter how strict or attentive I was with my fitness and meal plan. Ultimately the health problems that I addressed with Dr. Taylor have turned my life around completely. I have never in my life felt this good, my depression is completely manageable, a huge increase in mental clarity, I sleep like a rock, my body fat percentage is in a healthy range, I have been seeing gains in the gym, the people around me tell me I am like a different person, the quality of my work has even improved! The list goes on and on!
Dr. Taylor herself is easy to talk to and explains things in a simple to-the-point way which is easy to understand. She listens to what you say and doesn’t rush you when you have trouble explaining something, because she cares about what she does, and communicates effectively. The times I have e-mailed the office I received an almost immediate response. The office itself is really nicely decorated, welcoming, neat, and clean. Dr. Taylor and her staff are awesome. This has been a transformative experience for me and I couldn’t be happier with the results 🙂

Dr. Julie Taylor is amazing. The hormone plan she has placed me on has changed my life for the better. No more crazy mood swings for me. Everyone in my life should send Dr. Taylor a gift as I am back to the lovely princes I used to be. Bridget is great also! Thank you!

Dr. Taylor has also been really helpful to me! We balanced my hormones, and I started to feel better and my energy levels increased dramatically. I no longer struggle with depression and was able to phase out an anti-depressant that had made me feel flatlined. She also discovered that my thyroid was a little off – so we fixed that as well as my vitamin D levels. Now all my numbers look great and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my quality of life! I now have motivation, energy, and feel back to my old self. I haven’t felt this good in years.

I was routinely suffering from exhaustion, weakness and weight gain. I also found myself in a mild funk, nothing really excited me anymore. In addition, I have two young boys and it was becoming harder and harder to keep up with them. Just taking them to the park, took a maximum effort from me. All in all, I felt I wasn’t being the husband and father I wanted to be.
So, I finally went to my GP for a full physical and listed all my issues. I had also researched low thyroid (family history) and low testosterone (A few years back I had a diagnoses). My GP ordered all the blood work and tests. When the results came back, my GP informed me that all my results were “normal”, including cholesterol, thyroid and testosterone. I debated my GP about the lab results, my symptoms, my family history etc. for half an hour. The best my GP could do for was a laminated picture of a “dieters” plate. My mother who is an R.N. warned me about this interpretation of the lab results from the GP because she had been dealing with GP’s and “old-school understanding” about her low thyroid issue for years. She suggested I find a specialist.
That’s when I found Dr. Taylor and I’m so lucky I did. I took the same lab results to her and she immediately picked up on the low thyroid and low testosterone. I hadn’t mentioned the experience I had with my GP yet. She listened, as I explained all my issues and concerns. She ordered a few additional blood tests to be thorough. Once those results were back, we discussed my symptoms in detail and the various treatment options. I really like that she was interested in finding treatment(s) that would work best for me and my busy schedule. For her, it’s about treating the whole patient not just the symptoms. She really understands the importance of proper hormone balance and having a healthy mind and body.
All I can say is WOW, I feel incredible now. My energy is back, I feel stronger and things are looking up. I realize now, I had forgotten how good it is to feel “GOOD!”. It’s not a miracle cure, as Dr. Taylor and I discussed. I still need to exercise and work on my nutrition but I’m in such a better place that it all seems doable now. My wife and kids have also noticed the new “spark” in dad which is awesome too. As far as I’m concerned Dr. Taylor is incredible. I highly recommend a visit to her office

I feel so grateful to have found Dr. Taylor. Not only is she an intelligent and knowledgable doctor, she has taken thoughtful care of me and my individual needs. Another thing about her that I love is that she advocates a plant-based diet. Being a vegan, it is very important that my doctor shares these core values with me. Dr. Taylor is also an educator on plant-based nutrition at a medical clinic. I find that very admirable.
The bioidenticals supplementation has been amazing. I feel like I have my old, energetic self back and my life back. Dr. Taylor doesn’t just prescribe according to the results on your blood and saliva texts. She takes into consideration your own feelings and observations about your own body.
I’m a person with a lot of questions so I have emailed her with questions on several occasions, and she has always gotten back to me in a timely manner, usually within a few hours. She’s a very busy doctor so I appreciate that.
Bioidenticals are a godsend and finding the right doctor is very important. I have referred Dr. Taylor to a couple of girlfriends. One of them had seen a “famous” bioidenticals doctor on the westside (drove far to see her) who she didn’t like at all. This doctor had a know-it-all attitude and didn’t listen to her individual needs. She stopped seeing this doctor and gave up on bioidenticals. It is a shame that a doctor can turn one off to this wonderful treatment, but it happens. A doctor’s bedside manner is so important. My definition of a good doctor is based on 50% knowledge, expertise and alignment in values and 50% accessibility and bedside manner (how comfortable and well taken care of they make you feel). Dr. Taylor has all these qualities. I feel fortunate that I found her and that her office is conveniently located in Pasadena (another bonus).

I did a lot of research before coming to Dr Taylor and realized that functional medicine was the way I wanted to go. Dr Taylor practice was the best decision I made, I feel like the old me. My energy is back, I’m not in a constant state of sweat which was the most uncomfortable and embarrassing of all the symptoms.
If you’re questioning whether this is right for you, let me just say, DO IT and stop thinking about! It is so worth it!! My life is so enriched!
I also see Whitney Catalano the RDN who is helping me with the long battle I’ve had with food. She is absolutely amazing, I have so much admiration for her amazing outlook and coaching. I’ve been so hard on myself for so long and let me tell each visit I learn so much about myself.
Thank you Dr Taylor and Whitney, you’re both an incredible gift in my life, truly!!
Thank you a million times over!

After getting blood tests, receiving the correct Bio-Identical hormones
and recommended vitamin supplements MY WHOLE LIFE HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. I have energy, no sweats at all, no depression and my libido has increased. I have no idea what the bad yelps are about. People it takes a little time, testing, changing your levels of hormones to get it right. I had no quality of life before going to Dr. Taylor, and no it is not covered by insurance, but I am worth it!!!
Dr. Taylor has asked several questions, asked if I had any questions and was never in a rush. She never tried to sell me anything. I truly felt she really cared about how I am feeling and does everything in her power to improve my health. If you are suffering from menopause symptoms, I highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Taylor approaches whatever your concern may be in a way that I have rarely experienced before-she looks at the full picture of what is going on and then finds an effective treatment plan. Not to mention, the care and respect she treats patients with. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor.

I haven’t felt this healthy in years! Dr Taylor is highly knowledgeable and has great communication skills. She was able to get me off all my prescriptions and treat me holistically. Her concern for her patient’s health is clearly her passion. I’ve referred all my friends and family and they couldn’t be happier!
