Holon offers an array of advanced health services as part of their mission to guide clients towards optimal health and wellness, utilizing oxygen therapy, virtual reality, compression boots, and more. Visitors can experience hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a treatment used by elite athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and Novak Djokovic to enhance their careers and maintain peak performance. The clinic also offers Vielight, a type of red light therapy that targets brain health and may even alleviate symptoms of conditions like Alzheimer’s, according to recent research.
Located next to an ice bath set at five degrees, Holon’s infrared sauna is designed to improve muscle recovery, boost blood circulation, and aid in detoxification. Additional services, such as compression boots, yoga sessions, and virtual reality meditation, help clients achieve a balance between mind and body. The center’s treatments are popular not only among athletes but also individuals dealing with everyday issues like brain fog and digestive problems. To provide comprehensive care, Holon offers testing for toxins such as mold and heavy metals, along with standard markers like hormone levels, which can contribute to these health concerns. For chronic conditions, clients can consult with Holon’s functional medicine partners in California through virtual appointments.
Joshua, the founder, was previously the CEO of Consciousness Hacking, a San Francisco-based company focused on developing next-generation technology for mental health treatment. Now back in Glasgow, Joshua aims to leverage his experience at the intersection of health and innovation to help as many people as possible.
Joshua, a former amateur boxer, explains: “Although we’re new to Glasgow, the principles of healing we practice are well established in functional medicine, also known as ‘root-cause medicine’. We consider the whole picture of what affects a person’s well-being—not just exercise, food, and sleep, but also factors like toxins, micronutrients, gut health, light exposure, and the nervous system.” Holon’s methods are supported by a board of advisors, including experts like Dr. Michael Ferguson, an Instructor in Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Brianna Stubbs, an elite British rower with a PhD in Metabolic Physiology from the University of Oxford. One of America’s leading naturopathic doctors, Dr. Heather Sandison, who specializes in neurocognitive medicine and neurohacking, also serves on Holon’s advisory board.
Inside the clinic on Great Western Road, non-toxic paint, smooth architectural curves, color-changing lights designed by NASA engineers to support circadian rhythms, and hospital-grade air filters all contribute to a space that’s “designed with wellbeing science in mind” across three floors.
Joshua’s journey into functional medicine, in-depth diagnostics, and wellness technologies began in the U.S.A., where these interventions helped him recover from a prolonged period of ill health. Now feeling better than ever, he’s passionate about bringing elements of his healing journey back to his hometown.
He adds, “Many of us experience fatigue, a lack of well-being, or struggle to consistently perform at our best in sports. Chronic disease rates are skyrocketing, and our current health system often falls short for those who need it most. At the same time, there’s an overwhelming amount of information online about how to improve health and performance, but it’s often confusing and lacks personalized guidance. This leaves many people feeling isolated and unsure of how to access the latest treatments that could help them.
“I believe the traditional medical model—where we’re often prescribed a pill to manage symptoms—is useful but incomplete. Research shows that functional medicine interventions can support even the most challenging diagnoses, but mainstream medicine has yet to fully integrate these insights.”
“With Holon, we aim to democratize access to these cutting-edge technologies and diagnostics, helping people in Glasgow get back to feeling their best.”
