What Makes Us Different
Precision & Comprehensive Medical Care
We do not treat just based on your symptoms alone. We will work with your body. We will not slam it into submission with pills.
Many conditions may not have specific symptoms, or these can mimic various health conditions. We empower you with the specific knowledge of how your body is functioning. We evaluate your gut microbiome in its relation to your levels of inflammation, toxic burden, neurological status, your body’s ability to detox and its impact on cellular health and impact on longevity.
Most likely, you have seen many doctors or other healthcare providers who have all thrown different prescriptions at you—hoping something “would stick”. In other words, you have experienced the “pill for an ill” paradigm of healthcare.
You call your healthcare provider, and you reach the receptionist who asks your date of birth or your medical record number. You have now gotten on the conveyor belt of modern medicine. On your appointment time, you will be led into a small exam room where you will be left, occasionally the medical assistant or another aide will stop in, and then finally the PA or nurse will be there—and this is who you will see, unless you are seeing a specialist—who you may see for a very short amount of time. However, no matter who you will see; the ultimate treatment course will be a pill…or a different pill.
We will change that scenario. This is not healthcare, and this is not what we do. We refuse to be a part of this healthcare paradigm.
Be open to an incredible opportunity for the attention, education, treatment, and healing results we offer. You will experience true healing at its best!

My Ebook
I believe that the current model of healthcare is to prescribe a pill for whatever ails you. If that result is less than adequate then the next alternative is surgery, which may or may not be of benefit. We believe that a new model of healthcare is on the horizon, and this is what we offer here at Sholo Healing Center. There is always a cause and effect, and this is why we use Functional Medicine at its best to determine the root cause of your illness. We then work to address the physiology of your complaints; we use epigenetics, genomics and precision nutrigenomics to address your issues at the root level. We evaluate your specific microbiome, and we will treat at a cellular level to elicit a response that will enable you to heal.
To improve your health, we need to move the standard of care, we need to do better than the acceptable norm. We feel that if you do what you have always done, then you will continue to get what you have always got. It is a challenge to invest and believe in something different, especially if it differs from what you have always known. Our vision for you within our standard of care is an integral part of creating a healthy body where you utilize our care in preventing and treating illness and disease. We are here for you every step of the way. We want to change the standard of care, to being the standard of excellent care.
The Savage Diet:
Moving Through Your Diet in the 21st Century
An Excerpt
I want to thank you for taking the time to invest in your health. I understand why people believe they are investing in their healthcare when they pay their insurance bill each month. However, I take a very different view of healthcare, and I feel it is so much more than helping you age. I feel emphatically it is my job to ensure that you are given every opportunity to not age; but to be a vital, vibrant and imposing force throughout your life. I also think that it is far better to avoid the pitfalls of aging by preventative care. I think on how to improve your health, I will not be thinking on ways to keep you on or to begin new medications. The years are not important if you feel good and are an active member of your community. I refuse to enable someone to be destined to sit in a wheelchair drooling on their chin and peeing in their pants.
My goal in writing this book is to make sure you know and can fully see that while it may entail some difficult day to day decisions, it is completely within your power to turn your current state of health around to increase your energy level, to increase your vital force and if you are currently on medications, many of those can be taken away as your health improves. These things will take some time, but as they say, it all begins with one step. Any forward progress is good and positive. It is important for you to be able to see the possibility of living a very healthy and long life that is not burdened with disease of any kind. I want you to see beyond the insurance model of health and open your heart and mind up to achieving more than what is expected or what you can even imagine.
Essentially, I will bring you to a state of optimum health and well-being. We will work closely together. This is not a diet. I am asking you to adopt a bold, different proactive way of living your life.

"5 stars seem hardly enough!"
I believe when good service is rendered, it should be recognized. That being said, I would add, Covid has created many obstacles to true health care.
Having had to work around the medical restriction I personally found it difficult to find any one in Cottonwood willing to work WITH me. Then I met the people at Sholo Healing Center, and I was blown away. This group of ladies are not only remarkable, but from a relationship stand point, they are friendly, generous with their time, compassionate, and exceptional in everyway. Ones relationship with their physicians, and staff is paramount to ones overall health. You will find it all at Sholo Healing Center.
Their prices are extremely reasonable, as well.
After 2 years of working on my health issues, I know I am on the right track, my health over the last 3 months working WITH Sholo is remarkably improved, to the extent that even friends and acquaintances have noticed. It would be well worth the time to contact them if you are not satisfied with the treatment, you are currently receiving.
To say I love my Dr, is an understatement, 5 stars seem hardly enough!

"I'm on my way back to amazing health."
I contacted Dr. Mendoza because I was tired of the experience going to normal doctors and them prescribing a pill to mask the underlying issues. I needed help with controlling inflammation in my body and I made a great choice in finding Dr. Mendoza. Since I've started visiting with her through carefully prescribed blood screenings and allergy testing for both food and substances, I'm happy to say that I'm on my way back to amazing health.
After my first meeting with Dr. Mendoza and her prescribing a simple diet in the interim, I lost almost 7 lb in one week just by removing certain foods. Visiting a naturopathic practitioner doctor was the best thing I ever did. Additionally, I also saw Dr. Mendoza for IV supplement treatments, which have sent my energy levels through the roof.
Thank you, Dr. Mendoza, for everything you've helped me accomplish with my body!

"She finally brought me relief."
Dr. Dianna Mendoza is the most professional, intelligent and intuitive naturopath that I have worked with.
I initially reached out after months of being treated for recurring/ongoing sinus infection. From that first visit, I could see she was thinking as she was speaking. She was very thoughtful in her words and advice. I am very impressed by her perseverance in dealing with my issue.
Through a combination of acupuncture, a physical procedure and medication, she finally brought me relief.
I appreciate that she was always very conscious of costs involved with either tests or medications.
I’m continuing to work with her on ongoing preventative medicine and weight loss. I have no doubt, with her advice, I will succeed with both goals.
