A longer view of your health.

Living Care is for people who want to understand where their health stands now and improve it over time. I bring your history, symptoms, medications, family risk, and past results together, then stay involved as we decide what to change and whether it helped.

  • Prevention and long-term risk
  • Sleep, energy, and recovery
  • Strength, bone health, and fitness
  • Symptoms, medications, and next steps

Care starts with the Living Care Foundation.

The Foundation is one-time, not a membership. Ongoing care is offered separately if I have room. Nothing renews automatically.

Start here

Living Care Foundation

I review what you already have, meet with you for an hour, and leave you with a written plan. I also follow the first results I order.

  • Records and prior results reviewed before we meet
  • A 60-minute video visit
  • Initial orders or prescriptions when appropriate
  • A written plan and follow-up on initial results

Later, if invited

Living Care Membership

If I invite you to continue, we usually meet every three months and adjust the plan as your health changes. You choose whether to join. Finishing the Foundation does not start a membership or recurring billing.

What ongoing care includes
  • A physician visit about every three months
  • Review of labs, symptoms, medications, and progress
  • An updated plan and follow-up testing when needed
  • Brief nonurgent questions between visits
  • Straightforward prior authorization help
  • No separate charge for routine membership visits
  • One extra visit at no added charge when needed and available

When testing can help

Testing is one part of the work. I use it when the result could change what we do.

A few real examples

Heart and metabolism

Could my heart risk be higher than basic cholesterol suggests?

Tests I may consider

  • ApoB, lipoprotein(a), A1c or fasting glucose, and kidney and liver tests.
  • A coronary calcium scan for selected prevention decisions; coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for symptoms or when we need a closer look.

How I would use the result

Whether medication, cardiology input, or another test would help.

Muscle, bone, and fitness

How are my muscle, bone, and fitness changing?

Tests I may consider

  • Whole-body DEXA for lean mass and visceral fat; bone-density DXA for bone health.
  • VO₂ max or another fitness test when useful.

How I would use the result

Training, protein, and whether a bone finding needs local follow-up.

Fatigue and recovery

Could fatigue or poor recovery have a treatable cause?

Tests I may consider

  • Blood count, iron and ferritin, B12 and folate, thyroid, or vitamin D, depending on symptoms.
  • Short-term glucose monitoring, a sleep evaluation, or specialist referral when indicated.

How I would use the result

Whether to treat a deficiency, change medication, or involve a specialist.

Before ordering anything, we discuss what the result could change and what it may cost.

Who this is for

This practice complements, but does not replace, local primary and specialty care.

This may work well if

  • You want more than an annual visit.
  • You are ready to make changes and track the results.
  • You want one physician to connect your history, testing, and treatment.

You need a different kind of care if

  • You need urgent or after-hours care.
  • You need only a single order or prescription.
  • You need virtual care to replace your local doctors.

Common questions

Are visits in person?

No. Visits are by video, and I can provide care only when you are physically in a state where I am licensed. The practice runs on Eastern time.

How soon can I be seen?

I read every inquiry. If it looks like a fit and I have room, I send a private link where you can review the Foundation price and decide whether to purchase. Secure intake comes after payment, and scheduling follows intake; an inquiry does not hold an appointment.

How are tests and imaging paid for?

You pay the lab or imaging center directly. I explain what we are looking for and what the result could change. Cost, coverage, availability, and authorization vary.

Do you take insurance?

No. The practice is direct-pay. I can provide a superbill for clinical visits, but membership fees generally cannot be submitted to insurance.

How will we communicate?

Brief, nonurgent questions can go to the practice inbox. New symptoms or larger decisions may need a visit. Urgent needs stay local.

What happens after the Foundation?

You receive a plan. Ongoing Living Care starts only if I offer it and you choose it; the Foundation never starts recurring billing.

What is the cancellation policy?

The Foundation does not renew. If you later join Living Care, you can stop the next renewal; the current term continues. See the Terms for annual-plan exceptions. Billing changes do not automatically end clinical care.

Start with a short note.

This form is only to check fit, so please do not include medical details. I read every message myself. If it looks like a fit and I have room, I will email a private link where you can review the Foundation price and decide whether to purchase. Secure intake comes after payment, and scheduling follows intake.

I can provide virtual care only in the states listed. Choose Other and I will let you know if there is another useful next step.

Before you send

Submitting an inquiry does not create a physician-patient relationship or guarantee an appointment.
