Alexis Anvekar, MD, ABIHM

"Dr. Alexis Anvekar was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated with honors from UC San Diego, obtaining degrees in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, with a minor in Psychology. She did not have support to attend college due to her gender, so she left home at age 18 and financed 100% of her room, board and education. She was very active in leadership roles throughout college and medical school.  Some roles included Student Body President, Student Body Vice-President, Editor in Chief of college newspaper, Co-Editor in Chief of medical school newspaper, Co-Founder of Student Organization for the Medical Awareness of AIDS, Delegate for American Medical Association (AMA) and American Medical Women's Association (AMWA). She received a national leadership award with AMWA given to the most promising female physician-in-training in the country.   As a senior at the medical school, she was invited along with the top 0.01% of graduating seniors to complete a coveted leadership fellowship called the USC Presidential Fellowship ran by USC's Marshall School of Business. She was also the sole person in her medical school class selected into USC's highest secret honor society."

"We've lost ourselves. Hippocrates had it right when he said, "let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food."  Today we obtain most of our food from boxes and bags which take up about 75% of the space in most grocery stores.  More and more research articles are showing that our brains are shrinking, our hearts are getting clogged up, and we are developing more cancer due to our poor lifestyle choices.

Enter Integrative Medicine. Some call it a movement. We call it the right way to practice medicine.  Integrative Medicine combines holistic with conventional medicine therapies.  It cherry-picks supplements, educates you on how to reverse disease with diet and exercise, even treats you based on your DNA results to optimize your health on the cellular level. It's truly the best of both worlds.  The National Institute of Health agrees. Click here for more info.
