Cardiometabolic & Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle Medicine is a branch of healthcare focused on using evidence-based lifestyle modifications to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic diseases. It emphasizes interventions such as healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, restorative sleep, avoidance of risky substances like tobacco and excessive alcohol, and positive social connections. The goal is to address the root causes of disease by promoting long-term sustainable health behaviors.
What we do in the Cardiometabolic & Lifestyle Medicine Clinic.
At One Health, we offer lifestyle medicine appointments for patients interested in improving their blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, and more through changes in eating, moving, sleeping, and stress reduction. Our goal is to improve your metabolic health without medication—and even stop medication! We achieve this through personalized lifestyle modification with discussions from Dr. Gorsuch on whole food plant-based eating patterns and Dr. Calkins focusing on low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets.

My name is Matt Calkins. I completed my undergraduate degree in physics and attended medical school at the University of Florida. Go gators!
