Raphael Kellman, MD
Holistic/Functional Medicine and Age Management
Raphael Kellman, M.D. received his BS in philosophy of science and is a graduate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. While he trained in internal medicine, he is considered a pioneer in holistic medicine. He is the author of two books on health and healing, Gut Reactions and Matrix Healing, and is an acclaimed speaker on a wide variety of topics, ranging from environmental medicine and autism to a new understanding of mind and matter.
Dr. Kellman is known not only for his skillful ability to integrate conventional and holistic medicine but also for his vision and understanding of how we heal. While the type of medicine Dr. Kellman practices is commonly called holistic medicine or functional medicine, Dr. Kellman prefers the term regenerative medicine since with the use of nutraceuticals or natural compounds, some of which are found on our own cells, and various technologies, cellular health and function can significantly improve.
Some of the compounds and technology Dr. Kellman uses have been shown to increase energy production, change genetic expression and stimulate cellular function. This approach has helped so many of his patients with a wide variety of health problems and diseases, such as fatigue, unexplained health problems, diabetes neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, strokes, and neurodevelopment disorders, such as autism.
Because of Dr. Kellman knowledge of environmental medicine and endocrine disruptors and its effects on the endocrine and immune systems, he treats many patients with hormonal and immunological disorders.
Dr. Kellman pioneered the use of the more sensitive thyroid test, the TRH Stimulation Test, which can detect an underactive thyroid frequently missed by routine tests. This test has helped thousands of patients who are suffering with fatigue and metabolic dysfunction, manifested as weight gain, difficulty concentrating and focusing, depressed mood, hair loss, etc. finally get to the root cause of their problem and feel better again.
With the use of more sophisticated tests that can detect cellular dysfunction, immunological and hormonal imbalances, environmental toxicity, etc. Dr. Kellman frequently uncovers the root causes of his patients' medical problems. This can help prevent the need and the use of a wide variety of pharmacological medicines, which only treat the symptoms.
Most importantly Dr. Kellman believes that first and foremost the purpose of medicine is to alleviate suffering and improve the lives of others, and this is his deepest passion.
