Stanford-Trained Surgeon & Functional Medicine
Dr. James Rosing is a Stanford-trained, FACS-certified plastic surgeon with over 14 years of experience in aesthetic and functional medicine. His surgical precision and deep understanding of human physiology uniquely position him to address the interconnected systems that determine health outcomes.
His practice integrates advanced diagnostic testing, hormone optimization, peptide therapeutics, and regenerative medicine into comprehensive treatment protocols. Dr. Rosing's approach reflects a commitment to evidence-based medicine that treats the whole patient rather than isolated symptoms.
Functional medicine identifies and addresses the root causes of disease rather than managing symptoms alone. At Allure MD, we use comprehensive laboratory testing, advanced genetic analysis, and individualized treatment protocols to optimize every system in your body. Traditional medicine often treats conditions in isolation; functional medicine recognizes that your hormones, metabolism, gut health, and neurological function are deeply interconnected.
Our functional medicine practice addresses a wide spectrum of health concerns including hormonal imbalances, cardiometabolic dysfunction, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, hair loss, autoimmune conditions, and accelerated aging. We also offer advanced peptide therapeutics and epigenetic optimization for patients seeking proactive health enhancement.
Your initial consultation spans 60 to 90 minutes and includes a thorough review of your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and goals. Dr. Rosing will order targeted diagnostic testing, which may include comprehensive hormone panels, advanced lipid analysis, genetic testing, inflammatory markers, and nutrient assessments. Based on results, he develops a personalized treatment protocol addressing your specific imbalances.
Many patients notice improvements in energy and sleep quality within two to four weeks. Hormone optimization and metabolic changes typically produce measurable results within eight to twelve weeks. More complex conditions such as autoimmune modulation or epigenetic interventions may require three to six months of consistent treatment. We monitor your progress with follow-up labs and adjust protocols as your body responds.
Yes. Peptide therapeutics are a cornerstone of our advanced functional medicine protocols. We utilize evidence-based peptides for tissue repair, immune modulation, cognitive enhancement, metabolic optimization, and growth hormone support. Our team maintains current expertise through our peptide research platform at NewportBeachPeptides.com, ensuring patients receive the most current, evidence-based peptide protocols available.
Some functional medicine services, including certain laboratory tests and office visits, may be covered by insurance. Advanced testing, peptide therapies, and elective optimization services are typically considered out-of-network or self-pay. We provide detailed superbills for insurance submission and offer financing options to make comprehensive treatment accessible.
Functional medicine benefits anyone seeking to understand and optimize their health at a deeper level. Common candidates include patients with chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, or those who feel their conventional doctors have not identified the root cause of their symptoms. We also work with high-performing professionals and athletes who want to optimize cognitive function, energy, and longevity proactively.
We utilize advanced diagnostic panels beyond standard blood work. These include comprehensive hormone panels (DUTCH testing), advanced lipid particle analysis (NMR LipoProfile), inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, homocysteine), nutrient assessments (vitamin D, B12, magnesium, zinc), thyroid panels (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, antibodies), genetic testing (MTHFR, pharmacogenomics), and organic acids testing. These targeted diagnostics reveal imbalances that standard labs often miss.
While both approaches emphasize root-cause treatment, functional medicine at Allure MD is practiced by a board-certified physician (MD, FACS) with surgical training. Dr. Rosing combines conventional medical expertise with advanced functional diagnostics, ensuring treatments are evidence-based and medically supervised. This means we can integrate pharmaceutical interventions when appropriate alongside natural therapies, peptide protocols, and lifestyle modifications.
Yes. Longevity optimization is a core focus of our practice. We address the biological drivers of aging through hormone optimization, mitochondrial support, epigenetic interventions, peptide therapy (NAD+ precursors, growth hormone secretagogues), and metabolic optimization. Our approach targets cellular aging at its source, helping patients maintain vitality, cognitive sharpness, and physical performance well into later decades.
