Dr. Michael Lonardo is the Founder and Co-President of Primal Integrative Health Group, where he leads with a passion for natural, personalized, and wellness-focused care. A father to two wonderful girls and two wonderful boys, he brings both professional experience and personal conviction to his work, with a deep commitment to helping men, women, and children pursue greater health emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Dr. Lonardo is board certified as a Doctor of Natural Medicine, a Doctor of Holistic Medicine, and a Hypnotherapist. He also holds credentials as a Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy and a Certified Cryo-Sculpting Therapist. His professional interests include alternative medicine psychiatry, sexual wellness support for men and women, fertility support, autoimmune and thyroid-related wellness concerns, and healthy weight management.

In his work, Dr. Lonardo draws from a range of natural and integrative modalities, including naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbology, homeopathy, and essential oils. His approach is rooted in the belief that each individual is unique and deserves thoughtful, individualized support rather than a one-size-fits-all path.

MORE ABOUT DR MICHAEL LONARDO

Dr. Lonardo has extensive experience with the body’s natural healing ability and a longstanding passion for understanding the deeper factors that influence health and wellness. Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual’s genetic, biochemical, structural, and emotional makeup, he believes meaningful progress begins with looking beyond surface-level concerns and seeking to understand the bigger picture.

His passion for this work was shaped in part by watching someone very close to him move through diagnosis after diagnosis, with each new label often followed by another prescription and another layer of side effects, yet without truly addressing the underlying issue. That experience deeply influenced his calling and strengthened his belief in a more thoughtful, root-focused, wellness-centered approach.

Dr. Lonardo is deeply inspired by the body’s design and its remarkable capacity for restoration when given the right support. The more he studies the body, cellular communication, and the complexity of human health, the more he is reminded of both its wisdom and the importance of continuing to learn. He considers it a privilege to walk alongside those seeking meaningful change and greater wellness in every area of life.

He is especially encouraged by seeing positive life change, personal growth, renewed energy, and greater confidence in those who are committed to improving their health and well-being. His mission is not only to support individuals in moving toward better wellness, but to do so in a way that is compassionate, personalized, and grounded in purpose.
