Welcome to Live Fit Medicine and thank you for visiting our site. At Live Fit Medicine, we serve individuals who are committed to improving their overall health and well-being through medically sound nutrition, exercise, lifestyle advice and education. Your first question may be: "Why do you call yourselves 'Live Fit Medicine' anyway?" Good question. If you look up all three of the individual words in our name in the Merriam-Webster dictionary you will get multiple definitions. Here are the ones that resonate with us:
* Live: to exhibit vigor, gusto or enthusiasm
* Fit: sound physically and mentally
* Medicine: something that affects well-being
Put those definitions together and you get a sense of what we are all about.
At Live Fit Medicine we practice the principles of Functional Medicine. Functional medicine differs from traditional medicine in that it does not focus on the pathological state or disease, but rather the processes that underlie and precede it. For instance, if you are sitting on a tack, we do not suggest that you just take something to alleviate the pain. Instead, we identify what is causing the pain (in this case the tack) and then remove it to provide permanent relief. Whatever the cause of your health concern, we seek to identify and correct it so that you can achieve your ultimate health and fitness goals and live a life full of energy and vitality.
At Live Fit Medicine we act as your health, nutrition and lifestyle coach to educate you, guide you and empower you in your quest for a healthier, more active and fit life. We utilize nutritional analysis, conventional blood work and various innovative screening tests (i.e. vitamin, nutrient and toxic elements; food sensitivities; neurotransmitters and hormones) to develop a highly targeted program that can expedite the achievement of your health and fitness goals. Through a medical assessment and analysis of your current health, individual goals and lifestyle, we create personal strategies to help you develop healthy habits to last a lifetime.
We believe health is more than merely the absence of disease. It’s about feeling good every day - waking up and wanting to get going in the morning with the energy and vitality to do all the things you want to do. It’s living without pain or discomfort, performing at your best, and aging gracefully and healthfully. To help foster health and vitality, we use various modalities including whole foods (your first and best medicine), supplements, exercise, lifestyle changes, stress reduction techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy.
