A Medical Transformation

In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance.

Throughout this time of intensive research and study, Dr. Minkoff gained through expertise in functional and biological medicine and the role of the environment in the disease process.

This led him into further fields of research and intensive study such as:

  • heavy metal detoxification
  • pesticides & environmental toxins
  • detoxification protocols
  • regenerative medicine
  • hormone replacement therapy
  • functional medicine
  • energy medicine
  • neural and prolotherapy
  • homeopathy
  • diet
  • optimum nutrition.

Dr. Minkoff studied under some of the most preeminent doctors in each of these disciplines until he finally became an expert in his own right.

Dr. Minkoff and his wife sue

Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States.

 

Dr. David Minkoff Establishes LifeWorks Wellness Center

LifeWorks Wellness Center was established to offer the very best medical treatments available and to expand the focus beyond the biomedical health model which explains that illnesses are caused by biology.

The goal was to expand this incomplete view and take into consideration what today is widely known, that social, psychological, and environmental factors also play a role in the disease process.

This opens up many more non-invasive treatment options that have a long history of assisting in the prevention, treatment, and cure of disease. While we fully use and embrace the wonders and successes of modern medicine, we also recognize that there is a wealth of both old and new technologies and treatment options that people can use today in a complementary manner to achieve even better outcomes.

Beyond the Limits of Health Insurance

Traditional health insurance companies aren’t interested in doctors spending lots of time with patients and looking for the social, psychological, and environmental factors that may be contributing or even causing their disease. This approach does not conform to their world-view of disease and current standard of care mandates.

As most anyone can attest who has been treated or seen under this system, most feel the doctor is rushing them, doesn’t give them an adequate amount of time, and are often ready with their prescription pads to “treat” their symptoms.

Healthcare, the Right Way

Just like organic food used to be the norm, healthcare treatment in ages past was much different as well. Doctors were able to offer very personalized care but in today’s hectic insurance-driven healthcare system, it’s simply not possible.

We decided we were going to do things differently and we did. Unshackled by the restraints of health insurance we could offer the kind of healthcare we felt was best for our patients.

Instead of merely masking symptoms and handing out medications as the primary treatment option, Dr. David Minkoff decided he wanted to change the face of healthcare by offering personalized healthcare in a way that wasn’t being practiced. By spending ample time with patients, looking for the underlying causes of disease, and then treating them, his successes with patients grew and word of mouth spread like wildfire.

A new model of disease treatment, health enhancement, and wellness emerged that predicated itself on removing antagonistic substances from the environment and body of the person under treatment and restoring their immune system, repairing gut issues, restoring mitochondrial function, detecting and eliminating hidden sources pathogens, viruses and microbes and supporting the immune system through diet and nutrition. All while offering more therapies under one roof than any other integrative clinic in the U.S.
