iThriveMD Encinitas
iThriveMD Encinitas sits on North El Camino Real and opens seven days a week, serving Encinitas, Carlsbad, Solana Beach and Cardiff. The menu names the molecule in almost every case: semaglutide, tirzepatide, sermorelin, PT-141, metformin, methylene blue, low-dose naltrexone, NAD+ and enclomiphene. Labs and a whole-body MRI sit under Diagnostics, and twelve clinicians are named across the group.
The care team
Every clinician the operator publishes by name, with their role exactly as the operator states it.
iThriveMD publishes one care team across the whole group, rendered identically on every location page under the heading 'Meet our care team'. No clinician is tied to Encinitas or to any other location, and none is presented here as the clinician a patient would see. Each name links to an individual biography page, and each entry below carries only what the roster itself prints. Eleven of the twelve are published as Naturopathic Doctors; the founder is published as an MD.
