Dr. Ori Max Dula (Dr. Max)
Dr. Charlie’s Practitioner’s Directory
About
Dr. Max Dula, DC specializes in helping individuals with complex, chronic health issues who have not improved with conventional or fragmented approaches. His focus is on identifying and addressing the root drivers of dysfunction rather than chasing diagnoses or managing symptoms alone. Many patients present with conditions such as gut disorders, autoimmune issues, fatigue, or hormone imbalances, but care is centered on understanding why those conditions developed in the first place.
Using functional lab testing and systems-based analysis, Dr. Max creates structured, step-by-step protocols to restore physiology in the correct order. Treatment may include targeted herbs, nutraceuticals, peptides, and, when appropriate, pharmaceuticals prescribed through partner providers, allowing for a flexible and results-driven approach.
Approach & Care Model
Care is delivered through structured programs, typically over several months, to allow for proper assessment, intervention, and stabilization of results. The practice prioritizes efficiency, clarity, and a systems-based strategy—addressing the gut, immune system, nervous system, and metabolism together rather than in isolation.
This practice is best suited for individuals who are looking for a comprehensive, root-cause approach and are willing to follow a structured plan to achieve lasting results.
