About
At South Bay Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Elinora Madrid delivers primary care through the lens of evidence-based lifestyle medicine. She keeps her patient panel deliberately small, prioritizing depth of care over volume. Every visit runs at least 30 minutes, and the practice serves patients from infants through geriatrics. Dr. Madrid built the practice around six clinical pillars: nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connection. She offers three membership tiers alongside PPO-billed primary and urgent care. Services range from DEXA body composition scans and VO2 Max testing to kitchen transformation visits, at-home sleep assessments, and group medical appointments. Her goal is straightforward: help patients reverse chronic conditions so they no longer need her.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The practice bills primary and urgent care visits directly to PPO insurance, with no membership required. Memberships provide access to deeper lifestyle medicine programming and additional services beyond standard primary and urgent care.
The Concierge Membership includes everything in the lower membership tiers plus GI balance testing, micronutrient assessments, early cancer detection services, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, and unlimited sauna sessions. Members also receive 24/7 direct physician access. This tier has limited availability, so contact the practice to confirm openings.
Dr. Madrid schedules a minimum of 30 minutes per appointment. She built the practice around this standard after finding that shorter visits prevented her from truly understanding her patients. Members also receive unlimited follow-up visits.

South Bay Lifestyle Medicine offers bi-weekly shared medical appointments where patients receive care in a supportive group setting. The practice offers both insurance-covered and self-pay group visit options. These sessions allow patients to engage with Dr. Madrid while benefiting from the collective experience of others managing similar health concerns.
That is the explicit goal of the practice. Dr. Madrid uses evidence-based lifestyle interventions targeting nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and other factors to address the root causes of conditions like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Her aim is for patients to improve enough that they no longer require ongoing treatment.
South Bay Lifestyle Medicine provides VO2 Max testing, DEXA body composition scans, comprehensive cardiometabolic health assessments, GI balance testing, micronutrient assessments, and at-home sleep assessments. These tools help Dr. Madrid build a detailed clinical picture for each patient.
Dr. Madrid personally visits a patient's kitchen as part of the Chronic Healing Membership. She reviews the patient's food environment and provides hands-on guidance for optimizing it to support their health goals. The practice also offers personalized menus with recipes and grocery store or farmer's market tours.
The practice accepts PPO insurance for primary and urgent care visits, with no membership required. Membership fees are separate and not billed to insurance. Patients can use their PPO coverage for standard clinical visits while choosing a membership for lifestyle medicine programming.
