Dr Monica Xu is a US trained naturopathic doctor who chooses the best of conventional and natural therapies when treating age-related illnesses.
Prior to relocating to Hong Kong, Dr Xu has been practicing naturopathic medicine and regenerative treatments in the US. Having suffered from age-related health conditions and being a patient herself, Dr Xu understands the importance of integrative approach and continuous care.
Although Dr Xu has the privilege to prescribe pharmaceuticals, she prefers and specializes in using nontoxic, natural compounds to promote the healing of age-related degenerative changes. These include formulated herbal extracts, compounded vitamins and minerals, natural hormones, diet and lifestyle modifications.
In her practice, she listens to her patients’ needs, identifies the root cause of their problems often using appropriate lab and functional medicine tests, followed by individualized treatment plans and continued support. Her dedicated care and integrative treatments have helped her patients to reclaim ownership of their health, regain their confidence and welcome more joy into their lives.
Prior to becoming a naturopathic doctor, Dr Xu has worked with Johns Hopkins University and CDC epidemiologists conducting research regarding perinatal mortality caused by iron deficiency anaemia in West Africa.
Outside of work, she leads an active lifestyle as an avid hiker, capoeirista, and swimmer.
