Philosophy:

Health is a state of balance which is reflected in our physical wellbeing, emotional states and lifestyle habits.  We are sophisticated, but ancient animals living modern lives, and there is an art and science to living well and manifesting our unique essence.  Aging is a natural process; diminished vitality, health decline and dis-ease are not.  

Through careful listening, thoughtful questioning, and appropriate testing, we gather a composite assessment of your health, uncover underlying imbalances, and offer evidence-based, natural and effective therapies and strategies to sustain or restore health.   My assessment offers a unique perspective that I hope will bring a deeper level of engagement and awareness to your health and wellbeing.

Patient Endorsements

"Justin has a comprehensive and, in my experience, unique view and concept of the human body. His approach is to get the most possible performance out of our bodies in any and all realms. This translates, for all intents and purposes, to getting the most out of life. In my sixty-two years, I have never had a doctor I trusted and worked with who remotely matches his talents. How's that for an endorsement?"
Bob Weir, Musician

"I've had plenty of blood tests, but never had any MD sit down and go over every inch of the results, showing me more than a dozen ways to make me healthier based upon what he learned from my blood test. Wow. Dr. Mager is what healthcare SHOULD be. Science and nutrition from one source. Very powerful. I predict this fellow will help reshape healthcare if he gets his message out there."
Chet Holmes, NY Times best selling Author and advisor to 60 Fortune 500 clients.

"Dr. Justin Mager brought me back to a state of physical and mental wellness that for years had been relegated to memories of my 13 years in the NFL. My treatment has my physical appearance and performance back to where I was in my mid thirties. All the good parts are still working fine, and I no longer need cholesterol medication. Thanks  Doc."

"As important as it is for me to have an experienced and professional medical doctor treating me, it is equally as important to have a caring and dedicated partner in my health with whom I can speak candidly about the holistic big health picture; mind, body, soul.  Justin epitomizes this individual, and I am very happy to have found him."
