Reviews
What to Know
Signature approach
Tolentino works through a functional-medicine lens: hormones, gut health, thyroid and adrenal patterns, metabolism, immune function, women's health, and lifestyle inputs. Her role is to connect comprehensive labs and symptoms into a plan that fits Love.Life's broader care team, including nutrition, coaching, PT, behavioral health, recovery, and fitness.
What sets them apart
- Parsley Health background. She helped build one of the better-known functional-medicine brands before leading Love.Life's medical team.
- Hormone-optimization depth. Perimenopause, menopause, fertility-adjacent care, thyroid, adrenal, and sex-hormone work are a natural fit.
- Family medicine base. Board certification keeps the work anchored in primary-care training.
- Public education footprint. Media, podcast, and teaching roles reinforce her position as a visible functional-medicine voice.
Before You Book
- Membership context. Patients see her through Love.Life medical membership rather than a normal insurance visit.
- Telehealth limits. Her telemedicine access is tied to state licensure, currently California and Florida.
- Care boundary. Functional and integrative primary care can coordinate a lot, but emergency care, procedures, hospital care, and specialists route outside Love.Life.
