Empowering Wellness through Direct Primary Care and Lifestyle Medicine
Our Lifestyle Medicine Approach
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly or annual fee directly to their primary care physician, providing a healthcare experience that is not hindered by limitations of the traditional model. This model offers numerous benefits, including more time with your doctor, reduced administrative burdens, and simplified billing processes. Patients enjoy unlimited office visits, same-day or next-day appointments, and personalized care tailored to their needs. DPC fosters stronger patient-physician relationships and allows for a focus on preventive care and overall well-being. DPC provides a more flexible, accessible, and patient-centered approach to primary care.
We believe in addressing the root cause of health issues. Lifestyle Medicine is an evidence-based approach that helps treat, reverse, and prevent chronic diseases by promoting healthy lifestyle choices.
Our approach focuses on six pillars of health:
-
Nutrition: Emphasizing a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern.
-
Physical Activity: Encouraging regular exercise that fits your lifestyle.
-
Restorative Sleep: Promoting healthy sleep habits for optimal well-being.
-
Stress Management: Offering techniques to help you manage stress effectively.
-
Avoidance of Risky Substances: Supporting you in avoiding harmful substances.
-
Positive Social Connections: Fostering supportive relationships for emotional well-being.
-
By integrating these pillars into your care, we aim to enhance your overall quality of life.
