Dr. Axe grew up in Troy, Ohio. He graduated with a Bachelors of Science from Excelsior College. He then received his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University which has equipped and empowered him to pursue his life mission to improve patients quality of life.  As a child, Dr. Axe constantly suffered with ear infections, sinus infections, low energy, and chronic skin conditions.He found out on a first hand basis that being sick drastically lowers your quality of life!

At this early point in his life, Dr. Axe knew very little about the different treatment options available for his conditions; however, like most Americans, he thought the only means of treatment was the traditional medical system. Following the “standard of care,” Dr. Axe was sent to medical specialist after medical specialist with no true answers to his issues. At the age of 14, he started taking antibiotics for his sinus infections and additional medication for his severe acne. Several months after beginning this regimen, Dr. Axe’s body grew accustomed to those medications, and he was forced to begin taking even stronger meds. Dr. Axe was then diagnosed with eczema and a hypothyroid condition known as Hashimotos Thyroiditis.

The path he was taking of more doctors’ visits and more medications was only making him sicker. Dr. Axe knew he had to figure out another course of action. Through several years of research and drastic lifestyle changes, Dr. Axe is proud to announce that today he is the healthiest he has ever been! He is free of all of his skin conditions, Hashimotos, chronic fatigue, and frequent digestive problems.

It was his own life experience and finally getting to the root of his issues that led Dr. Axe down the path of becoming a functional medicine practitioner. With the memories of the many years of frustration and agony due to his own conditions, Dr. Axe is driven on a daily basis to restore hope to his patients and help them get to the root cause of their issues!

Dr. Aleisha Mondina is a dedicated practitioner of functional medicine and chiropractic care at Axe Holistic Medicine. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Dr. Mondina studied Exercise Science and Biomedical Sciences during her undergraduate years, where she also excelled as a college lacrosse player in Palm Beach, Florida. She earned her Doctorate from the National University of Health Sciences, further solidifying her commitment to holistic health.

With over 10 years of experience in the health and wellness field, Dr. Mondina’s journey began long before her formal education. Prior to her undergraduate studies, she worked as a massage therapist and certified personal trainer, gaining invaluable insights into the body’s mechanics and the importance of a holistic approach to health.

Dr. Mondina’s passion for root cause medicine is deeply rooted in her personal health challenges. As a child, she faced chronic illnesses that resulted in frequent antibiotic treatments. Later, she battled the chronic effects of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), chronic migraines, and hormonal imbalances. These experiences motivated her to seek out effective, integrative solutions that addressed the underlying root causes of health issues, rather than just treating and covering symptoms.

At Axe Holistic Medicine, Dr. Mondina focuses on creating personalized treatment plans that empower her patients to achieve optimal health. By combining functional medicine and/ or chiropractic care, she addresses the unique needs of each individual, helping them restore balance and improve their overall well-being.
