What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a primary healthcare approach that emphasizes prevention, the body’s innate healing capacity, and the use of nutrition, lifestyle, and natural therapies. The aim is to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while addressing the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
Within our scope of practice, naturopathic care may include targeted lab testing (blood, saliva, urine, or stool) and imaging review; personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations; nutrient, botanical, and homeopathic therapies when appropriate; and prescriptions and referrals coordinated with your other clinicians. We combine time-honored principles with current research to create clear, step-by-step plans tailored to your goals.
Dr. Vahe Melikyan is the founder of Innergy Integrative Medicine (est. 2017). He is a state-licensed, board-certified naturopathic doctor in California and Arizona. His journey into medicine began at the University of California, San Diego, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Physiology & Neuroscience.
While at UCSD, Dr. Melikyan began questioning prevailing philosophical and scientific approaches to care. He observed that much of conventional practice had shifted toward brief, 15-minute, symptom-focused visits—often treating diagnoses without fully investigating the root contributors to illness.
Rather than pursuing a traditional allopathic route, he chose naturopathic medical training because its core principles aligned with his view of prevention and whole-person healing. He completed the four-year postgraduate Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program at Bastyr University in San Diego, California.
Dr. Melikyan’s ultimate goal is to help patients achieve lasting, optimal wellness through thoughtful, evidence-informed care and to advance naturopathic medicine in his community and around the world.

Dr. Lusine Simonyan, NMD
Dr. Lusine Simonyan is a licensed, board-certified naturopathic doctor practicing in California with additional training in functional medicine. She earned her B.S. in Biochemistry from California State University, Los Angeles, where an herbal-medicine elective introduced her to naturopathic care and its guiding principles. Drawn to an approach that seeks root causes and supports the body’s innate healing, she completed her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University California and pursued further coursework through the Institute for Functional Medicine.
Dr. Simonyan views naturopathic medicine as both science and art—grounded in evidence, enriched by individualized care. She blends nutrition, lifestyle counseling, botanical medicine, and targeted supplementation, and incorporates conventional diagnostics and medications when appropriate. Her visits emphasize time to listen, thorough assessment, and clear education so patients understand their options and feel confident in each step.
Committed to whole-person care, she attends to physical health alongside mental and emotional well-being. She partners closely with patients to translate complex lab findings into practical, sustainable plans and tracks progress over time with compassion and clarity.
