About

Anna Emanuel, MD leads Next Health's Los Angeles clinical programs across West Hollywood, Century City, and Studio City. She is double-boarded in family medicine and integrative medicine, with training from Loma Linda University Health, an academic integrative medicine fellowship at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and physician acupuncture certification from Helms Medical Institute. Her work centers on physician-led plans that connect hormones, digestion, metabolism, weight, sleep, nutrition, and prevention.

What to Know

Signature approach

Emanuel reads labs and symptoms as connected patterns: hormones, cardiometabolic markers, digestion, sleep, weight, nutrition, stress, and prevention all inform the plan. Her family-medicine training keeps the work grounded in conventional diagnosis, while her integrative background adds functional lab interpretation, nutrigenomics, mind-body medicine, and physician acupuncture.

What sets them apart

  • Two relevant board certifications. She is board-certified in both family medicine and integrative medicine, a useful pairing for patients who want longevity care without losing conventional medical oversight.
  • LA program leadership. She is not only an individual provider at one clinic; she leads Next Health's precision-medicine work across West Hollywood, Century City, and Studio City.
  • Operational experience in the category. Before Next Health, she helped build the medical infrastructure for Love.Life's Los Angeles center, giving her experience with how integrative wellness programs actually run.
  • Multilingual care. Fluent Polish and Spanish, plus working French, may matter for patients who want a more direct clinical conversation.

Before You Book

  • Confirm location and schedule. She is tied to West Hollywood, Century City, and Studio City, and availability may vary because she also serves as LA Medical Director.
  • Plan for self-pay care. Provider visits and follow-up protocols can add cost beyond memberships and a la carte testing; she has opted out of Medicare.
  • Match the visit to the question. Choose her for physician interpretation around hormones, metabolism, digestion, sleep, or prevention; simpler wellness visits may route through the broader clinic team.
