Dr. Nicolas Maalouf is a board-certified internal medicine physician and founder of Elios Wellness, a telemedicine practice for weight loss and metabolic health serving all of California. As a hospitalist in Burbank, he sees daily where untreated diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol lead.

Plant-based for the past 10 years, Dr. Maalouf puts whole-food, plant-forward nutrition at the center of his care. He helps patients lower their weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar through personalized nutrition, movement, sleep, and lab-guided care, using GLP-1 medications when appropriate.

His approach is unhurried and relationship-based: long visits, direct physician access, and a plan built around each patient’s life. Whether you’re plant-based or plant-curious, you’ll have a doctor who lives what he recommends.
