Hi, I’m Dr. Joan Ibitoye-Ifarinde

General Physician + Pediatrician + Virtual Functional Medicine Doctor + Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner + Founder of Ilana Medical

I Understand What It’s Like to Struggle with Your Health and Not Know Where to Turn.

That’s why I’ve dedicated over 30 years to helping individuals like you uncover the root causes of their health concerns and reclaim their vitality through personalized, functional medicine care. At Ilana Medical, we go beyond surface-level symptom management to create a deep, individualized understanding of your health challenges.

Whether you're battling chronic fatigue, digestive discomfort, hormonal imbalances, or simply feel disconnected from your best self, I’m here to help you navigate your journey to healing. Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan designed to address your unique needs, empower you with the tools to take control of your health, and restore balance to your life.

Because at the heart of what I do is a simple belief: you deserve to feel your best and live fully—and I’m here to help make that possible.

My Journey to Functional Medicine & Lasting Health

My passion for functional medicine is rooted in both my experience as a physician and my deep desire to see my patients truly thrive. Over my 30-year career in general medicine and pediatrics, I often met patients who felt unheard—frustrated by quick fixes and a lack of real answers. I knew there had to be a better way.

That’s when I discovered functional medicine — a holistic, patient-centered approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover what lies beneath them. This shift transformed my practice and reignited my love for medicine. I became deeply committed to empowering patients with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their own health and find lasting wellness.

What Sets My Approach Apart

I take the time to truly listen to you. Your story, your experiences, and your concerns are central to my process. I combine advanced diagnostic tools with a compassionate, collaborative approach to develop personalized care plans that are as unique as you are.

Unlike traditional practices that often treat symptoms in isolation, I focus on the interconnectedness of your body’s systems, considering factors like nutrition, lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being.

This comprehensive approach allows us to create meaningful, sustainable changes that restore balance to your life.
