My journey to a plant rich lifestyle began over 20 years ago after being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was a very physically active 50 year old woman who found herself in horrible pain unable to perform daily tasks or movement without assistance or drugs. My family history is packed full of autoimmune conditions and fear of becoming disabled lead me in a different direction, digging deep for answers. My story is ongoing, for this decision lead me to a whole new world of possibilities, continued education and a lifestyle that set forth a healing in my body that is amazing and forever evolving.

We are all seeking more life in our years regardless of how many trips around the sun we have taken. Let me help to guide and inspire you on your journey. Feel free to call, email or text. Institute for Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Certification, PCRM.org Licensed Food for Life Instructor.

I am a family medicine and lifestyle medicine specialist who moved to Guam after losing my home and medical practice in the 2018 Camp Fire disaster in Paradise, California. After two years serving the people of Micronesia, I accepted a position as medical director of the Rocky Mountain Lifestyle Center in Denver, Colorado. I have now transitioned into a new position with AdventHealth as a primary care physician at Advent Health Family Medicine – Castle Pines in Castle Pines, Colorado. I am board-certified in family medicine and lifestyle medicine. I’m a founding member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I enjoy helping individuals regain health through plant-based nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle changes.

I obtained my medical degree at Loma Linda School of Medicine in Loma Linda, California. Following graduation from Loma Linda University, I completed residency training in family medicine at Hinsdale Hospital near Chicago. During residency, I gave health lectures in Poland, Russia, and Serbia.

​I became interested in lifestyle medicine while in residency. I enjoyed seeing patients experience dramatic health improvements at Lifestyle Center of America during six years of medical practice at this residential Intensive Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (ITLC) program in Sulphur, Oklahoma. Before joining AdventHealth, I served as medical director at Rocky Mountain Lifestyle Center in Denver, Colorado.

​To share with a wider audience principles leading to exciting health improvements, I co-hosted Total Health, a weekly radio talk show aired over 91.9 FM, JoyFM Radio Guam, and continued this passion in Denver on KPLS AM 1500. Also, I have authored the book, “Dr Arnott’s 24 Realistic Ways to Improve Your Health”, now also available in Spanish.

​I met my wife, Sylvia, while in residency training at Hinsdale Hospital. We have three children. We enjoy spending time together in nature, formerly in the coral reefs of Guam, and now in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I also enjoy scuba diving, backpacking, off-roading, bird watching, Pickleball, and medical mission trips with my family.

I am a board-certified cardiologist and health coach with over 25 years of experience caring for people with heart disease. After working for many years to diagnose and treat heart disease, I now focus on prevention. I practice Integrative Cardiology in person at my Monument, Colorado clinic and through telehealth in several states. I employ the latest advanced lab testing and diagnostic imaging to formulate an assessment of the client’s cardiac risk. Then, I use those findings to create a personalized plan using the Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine, which includes a whole-food, plant-based diet, to help people achieve holistic health. I am passionate about helping people prevent and reverse heart disease so they can enjoy a long, fulfilling life in good health.

Kim Scheuer, MD, began her career as a traditional Family Practice physician. Despite eating healthier than most Americans and believing she was fit, she struggled with weight issues until age 47. While searching for a way to decrease her family history of cancer risk, Kim read The China Study. What she learned started a long and “fruitful” journey of discovering how to use a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet and Lifestyle Medicine to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease’s root causes. For the first time in her career, she could genuinely help herself and her patients heal rather than merely treat the symptoms of illnesses. One of her favorite parts of her new way of practicing medicine is to de-prescribe medications and help her patients become “younger every year” by adopting healthier lifestyle choices.
Dr. Kim Scheuer is board certified in both Family Practice and Lifestyle Medicine. She is conversant in Spanish and American Sign Language. She is licensed to see patients in over 20 states. Kim now lives and benefits from the lifestyle she recommends for her patients. She loves to share what she has learned with all who want to be healthier and happier.
