WHOLE-PERSON NATUROPATHIC TELEMEDICINE
A different way of understanding your health.
Sometimes the answer isn't another diagnosis. It's understanding how the different pieces of your health fit together. I help people with complex, chronic symptoms understand why they developed and how their systems are communicating, so the body can adapt and recover.

WHY STILLPOINT
Your symptoms aren't the problem. They're information
Most of the people I work with arrive with a confusing collection of symptoms and a stack of tests that never quite added up. The body isn't broken. It's intelligent and adaptive, constantly responding to its internal and external environment. Symptoms are often signs of that response, not random failures.
A stillpoint is the calm center from which a whole system can finally be seen clearly. My work is to step back with you, make sense of how the different pieces of your health fit together, and understand why your symptoms developed in the first place, so together we can create the conditions for resilience and recovery.
Health depends on communication and coordination across the entire system. Light, movement, nutrition, sleep, environment, hydration, relationships, and metabolism all influence how effectively the body adapts and functions.
The whole system
I look for the whole story
Seemingly unrelated symptoms often connect into one underlying pattern. Finding that pattern is where meaningful change begins.
Adaptive & capable
The body can recover
Given the right conditions, your physiology has a real capacity to regulate, adapt, and rebuild resilience over time.
Collaborative care
You'll understand your health
You leave understanding what's influencing how you feel and why, not just following a list of instructions.
WHERE THESE PATTERNS SHOW UP
Common reasons people seek care
These are the diagnoses people often arrive with, but the real work is understanding the patterns connecting them. Many people I help have spent years searching for answers across several of these at once.

MY APPROACH
A stillpoint is the place from which a system can be seen clearly
The body is always adapting to the world around it. By stepping back from individual symptoms and looking at the broader patterns, it becomes possible to find real opportunities for change.
01
Understand your story
I start with your full history, symptoms, life circumstances, sleep, stress, nutrition, and environment.
02
See the whole picture
Rather than symptoms in isolation, I look for the patterns connecting the whole story.
03
Address the foundations
An individualized plan supporting the systems that regulate energy, function, and resilience.
04
Restore & sustain
Practical changes that help healing occur and protect your wellbeing over time.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

MEET YOUR PRACTITIONER
Dr. Michael Palladino, ND
I'm a licensed naturopathic doctor focused on complex, chronic health concerns. My work combines careful, whole-person investigation with an unhurried, collaborative style, the time and attention that meaningful answers usually require.
I earned my doctorate at Bastyr University and completed my residency at the UC Irvine Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute, where I later served as an attending naturopathic doctor, caring for patients with a wide range of complex and chronic conditions.

I came under Dr. Palladino's care at a time when my health had reached an all-time low due to undiagnosed mold toxicity, MCAS, and SIBO. He listened closely to my history, asked thoughtful questions, and took the time to clearly explain every aspect of my care plan. For the first time in years, I felt truly understood as a patient — and he helped me regain a level of health I hadn't experienced in years.

Dr. Palladino has been incredibly helpful with his thoughtful care while I navigated the complexities of long COVID — MCAS, ME/CFS, and POTS. Not an easy journey, and I'm so glad to have found this care. Important to note you can access it virtually in California, which is so important with these complex needs. Thank you!
