Live Fit Medicine practices the principals 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), 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.

To determine the core root of your health concern and formulate an effective plan, we use a comprehensive health history questionnaire, 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.

To bring balance 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.  All are powerful modulators of your health and work in concert with each other to bring your body back into balance.  We also explain why you are experiencing a certain symptom and how your food, exercise and lifestyle choices are influencing it.  It is our aim to educate and empower you so you can  make better decisions when it comes to your health and well being.  We believe this is one of the key reasons why our clients achieve long term success!


What Makes Us Different

We are not your typical doctor's office.  Live Fit Medicine is a professional practice run by a dedicated physician who spends time with you one-on-one to help make lasting changes to your health and fitness.  The practice design is based on the concepts of an "ideal medical practice"- a low overhead (minimal staff), low volume, highly efficient, highly technology-leveraged system.  Through this website, you are able to schedule your appointments (coming soon!) and communicate with the doctor online.  And when you do come in for appointments, you'll have plenty of time to discuss all of your concerns and have all of your questions answerd - no 10 or 15 minute visits here!  We are not rushed.  You are not rushed.  We have plenty of time to collaborate with you to help you achieve the health and vitality you deserve.

We act as your health, nutritional and lifestyle coach and focus on education and empowerment.  We will teach you, guide you and provide you the support you need to change your life and health for the better.  And since sometimes we all need a little "tough love" when making changes in our lives, we will push you when needed in order to keep your progress on track.  We are as committed to having fun as we are to helping you get results. When it comes to the work of building new dietary, health and lifestyle habits, having a light attitude is not only desirable, it helps keep you motivated and inspired!
