MD Total Wellness: Changing Patients’ Lives

For those looking to improve their health and vitality, MDTW offers expert care for hormone health and weight loss

This year, put your health and wellness in the hands of medical professionals you can trust. 

In Orange County, Dr. David Oliak, a board-certified physician, and Allison Mollet, a board-certified Physician Associate, provide bioidentical hormone replacement and weight loss solutions at MD Total Wellness. 

After a 20-year career as a weight loss surgeon, Dr. Oliak teamed up with his long time associate Allison Mollet to start MD Total Wellness with the goal of bringing expert care to the wellness field. They both experienced the transformational effects of bioidentical hormone replacement for themselves and want to help others to transform their lives too. 

“Dr. Oliak has been a business owner in North Orange County since 2009, first with Oliak Center for Weight Loss, a private weight loss surgery practice, and now with MDTW since January 2024.” 

Allison Mollet has been in clinical practice since 2002 and has worked with Dr. Oliak since 2006.

“Allison was drawn to the hormonal wellness field after experiencing how symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are overlooked, trivialized, or mistreated by our healthcare system.”

MD Total Wellness offers expert care for bioidentical hormone replacement and GLP-1 weight loss. 

Hormone Levels

 As we age, our hormone levels decrease, and when we replace our hormones, using bioidentical hormones instead of synthetic hormones, patients often feel transformed.

Hormone replacement for men

“Low testosterone is common and gets more common as we age. Replacing testosterone with bioidentical testosterone can be transformational for men, with potentially life-changing cognitive and physical benefits. Men often feel like their younger selves again.”

Hormone replacement for women 

“Perimenopause and menopause cause a range of symptoms, such as hot flashes, irritability, fatigue, and brain fog. They also increase the risk of medical issues and contribute to aging changes throughout the body. Our healthcare system tends to either overlook or trivialize perimenopause and menopause, or treat symptoms with pharmaceuticals instead of natural bioidentical hormones.”

In addition to being the most effective treatment for symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, bioidentical hormone replacement has been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia, and prolong life when started within 10 years of menopause.

GLP-1 Weight Loss

Studies show that patients lose an average of 15-20% of their body weight with GLP-1 medications. 

“GLP-1 medications (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide) are game-changers for weight loss. They decrease hunger and cravings, enabling weight loss. Currently, because brand-name medications are in shortage, compounded versions of these medications are available. They contain the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as in the branded medications but at a lower cost.”

Some of the health and benefits of these weight loss medications include improved diabetes, less joint pain, lower cholesterol, and improved blood pressure. 

MD Total Wellness supports the greater community as a Member of the Brea Chamber of Commerce, as well as by extending cost-saving benefits to local heroes. 

“We are passionate about helping our first responders–all police and firefighters receive a 10% discount.”
