HOL+ Expands Functional Medicine with Focus on Pediatric and Men's Health Needs

ATLANTA, June 17, 2026 – In an innovative move, hol+, the integrative and functional medicine practice founded by Dr. Tasneem Bhatia, known as Dr. Taz, has announced the expansion of its clinical programming to include specialized pediatric and men's health services. This initiative responds to the increasing demands from men and families seeking comprehensive solutions to pressing health issues.

For millions of men grappling with concerns over low testosterone, chronic fatigue, and cognitive cloudiness, as well as families with children facing challenges like gut health issues and anxiety, this development is timely. Hol+ now provides targeted programs at its Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles locations, supplemented by a national telehealth platform led by Dr. Taz and her team of certified professionals.

Understanding the Need

Dr. Taz emphasizes the crisis faced by men in America today. With only a small fraction of men achieving optimal cardiometabolic health, questions such as "Why am I tired even with sufficient rest?" and "What can I do about low testosterone in my 30s?" resonate with many. A startling fact is that fewer than 7% of American men are considered to have optimal health metrics.

Men's health issues often stem from a relentless cycle of stress, commonly referred to as the 'Cortisol Loop.' This cycle includes chronic stress that suppresses testosterone levels and leads to inflammation and metabolic decline.

The situation for children and teenagers is equally alarming, with unprecedented rates of burnout, hormonal imbalances, and gut health disruptions making headlines. Conventional pediatrics often overlook the deeper biological factors at play, and hol+ aims to bridge this gap.

Introducing the New Programs

For individuals questioning how to increase testosterone levels naturally or why they may be experiencing fatigue and weight gain, the hol+ Men's Health Program has been meticulously structured. This program incorporates Dr. Taz's framework known as the Four Pillars of Men's Health, focusing on:

- Hormonal balance
- Metabolic health
- Musculoskeletal and cardiovascular wellness
- Mental health and cognitive resilience

Each patient begins their journey with a thorough diagnostic workup covering a range of assessments including cortisol mapping, advanced lipid and metabolic markers, testosterone and endocrine panels, as well as gut health evaluations. The emphasis is on creating individualized treatment plans that target root causes rather than merely alleviating symptoms. This holistic approach includes advanced options like peptide therapy, functional nutrition, and mind-body medicine tailored to individual needs.

Similarly, the hol+ Pediatric and Family Integrative Medicine Program extends this rigor to children and adolescents. It examines gut health, hormonal imbalances, chronic illnesses, and other conditions that are often neglected in traditional pediatric care.

Both programs leverage Dr. Taz's PowerRx® methodology, which blends evidence-based medicine with holistic practices like acupuncture and Ayurveda, showcasing a unique East-West integration that has characterized Dr. Taz's work for over two decades.

Dr. Taz stresses, "Whether it’s a 45-year-old man seeking answers for his persistent fatigue or a 16-year-old grappling with anxiety and gut issues, we focus on discovering the underlying causes of these problems. That is the primary mission of hol+."

New patient consultations for these innovative programs are now available at holplus.co, offering a pathway to comprehensive health management for both men and children alike. As hol+ sets out to reshape healthcare narratives around men's and children's health, it positions itself at the forefront of integrative medicine.
