Dr. Van at Evolve Longevity Center has seriously changed my life. When I first met her, I had no energy, was on Adderall and anti-depressants, was unable to lose weight, my body was inflamed, I had brain fog, and felt sick all the time. Dr. Van, being the transformational healer she truly is, changed everything for me. I am 41 years old and thought I would never feel like my true self again.
After only four months, I feel like a new woman. Through HRT, IV treatment, and individualized supplements, I have been able to stop taking Adderall, lower my anti-depressant medications, lose weight, and, most importantly, have brain clarity and energy again!
Through extremely thorough testing, Dr. Van was able to bring my body back to its optimal potential.
Dr. Van truly changed my life. I can't thank her enough for taking the time to help me heal my body from the inside out. I would highly recommend any woman to see her. She will truly transform your life!

I’ve lived with fibromyalgia since I was 25, and now at 45 I can honestly say I’ve never experienced the level of care, attention, and the best results with Dr. Van at Evolve Longevity Center of Irvine.For years I felt like I was just “existing” — losing muscle mass, exhausted, no sex drive, my skin aging rapidly, and no real luster for life.
Since working with her, everything has changed. She spent a full hour going through my labs with me, explaining things no other doctor ever took the time to break down. She even adjusted her schedule so we could stay consistent with my IV therapy plan.
The results have been incredible. I went from losing muscle at an alarming rate to being in the gym six days a week, completing full workouts, and actually seeing muscle gain again. My energy, mood, skin, and overall sense of well‑being have all improved dramatically.
I finally feel like myself again — and honestly, better than I have in decades. I’m grateful for her expertise, her compassion, and her commitment to helping me heal. Truly a great experience, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Dr Van has changed my health/life in ways I didn't think were possible. I have a history of autoimmune/other serious medical issues and felt like I had tried everything to the point of wanting to just give up. So while I was interested in more natural ways of healing and optimizing my health, I was very skeptical about trying something new. However, what differentiated Dr Van for me in the beginning was her experience in both western medicine combined with functional medicine.
I've been working with Dr Van for ~6 months and she continues to surpass my expectations - for the first time in a long time, I'm sleeping better, feeling more energized, having more mental clarity and losing weight the safe way. I've never met a doctor who is so attentive to my unique needs, excellent at explaining complex things in simple terms to understand my options, and always available via phone/text to answer questions. I liked how her program has been deliberately build on phases or building blocks that help maximize results along the way as each phase stabilizes.
She started with extensive blood work to establish a baseline of my overall health instead of rushing/trying to sell me on the typical hormone/other therapies prematurely that likely would not have been successful w/o addressing the root of my baseline health needs first. Traditional bloodwork with my primary care doctor missed so many important imbalances in my hormones and my health.
Dr Van identified some surprising food allergies and other health imbalances, which helped shape what we started working on improving through diet refinement, supplements and IVs. From there, we progressed into hormone/other therapies. My journey is still going, but I am truly grateful for the noticeable improvements and new habits in my day to day life so far.

Life-Changing Care!
Working with Dr. Van over the past 14 months has been the best investment I’ve made in my health and wellbeing. I initially sought her help for hormone-related concerns, but what I received was far more comprehensive and transformative.
My journey began with extensive testing—far beyond what traditional medicine typically offers. The results were eye-opening, revealing imbalances and deficiencies in my gut, adrenal system, thyroid, and hormones. Dr. Van didn’t just hand over the results; she walked me through each detail, explaining what everything meant and patiently answering all of my questions.
She then crafted a personalized plan that included a gut reset, IV treatments, targeted supplements, peptides, and hormone replacement therapy. This wasn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—it was thoughtful, strategic, and tailored to me. I trusted the process, and today I feel better than ever: I have more energy, I sleep better, I’m genuinely happier, and my hormones are optimized.
There are a few key things that truly set Dr. Van apart. First, her deep knowledge and expertise in hormone therapy. Her unique background in both traditional and functional medicine, combined with years of experience and a specialization in women’s health, gave me natural, seamless options to reach my goals.
Second, her passion and dedication are unmatched. I’ve never had a doctor who checks in so regularly or is so consistently responsive and available. Dr. Van truly cares about improving lives—and I’m living proof of that.
Our journey is far from over, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her by my side.

I can't recommend Dr. Van at Evolve Longevity Clinic in Irvine, California enough. She has been absolutely instrumental in a life-changing experience for me, and I feel like a completely new person under her care.
Since working with Dr. Van, I've experienced incredible improvements in every aspect of my health—physically, mentally, and emotionally. My weight loss has been significant and sustainable, but even more important, I no longer struggle with any menopausal symptoms, which was a huge challenge for me before. The best part? Every time I get my blood work back, the results show exponential improvement. It’s clear her approach is not only effective but tailored specifically to my body’s unique needs.
Dr. Van’s approach goes beyond just treating symptoms. She digs deep to understand the root causes of any health concerns and works to address those at the core. She’s been a true mentor to me, always offering practical advice on how to optimize my diet, boost my emotional and physical vitality, and live my best life.
Her communication is outstanding—she always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and never makes me feel rushed. It’s like having a concierge doctor who is 100% invested in my long-term well-being.
Thanks to Dr. Van, I’m healthier, stronger, and more energized. My diet has improved, my body is visibly changing for the better, and I feel more balanced overall. If you're looking for a doctor who is a triple specialist, including hormones therapy, functional medicine, and general medicine she will treat you like a whole person and not just a set of symptoms, Dr. Van is absolutely the one to see. She has truly changed my life, and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done for me. I feel so lucky to have found her!!! Thank you, Dr. Van…you are a special human being. 🫶
