About us
It’s your life. You know that, and so do we. But at Life Medicine, we know that making a change – a real change – can sometimes be pretty tough, and can often feel impossible. But fear not, fellow change-cravers, because Life Medicine has invented a magic (and freshly patented) pill to guarantee happiness, health, and eternal bliss. No need to lift a finger.
Just kidding.
No magic pills here, and no band-aids either. At Life Medicine, we figure out what’s really going on in your life that feels stuck – and then we help you figure out why. We talk about things like your nutrition, exercise habits, interpersonal dynamics, and mental/emotional makeup. Together, we map out a personalized treatment plan for your medical and/or mental health needs. Then we actually go and do it.*
