Blessings! I am Dr. Lupita Haro, a medical surgeon specializing in Integrative Medicine based in Mexico. In my practice, I integrate advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques, including Neural Therapy, Homeopathy, Ozone Therapy, Immunotherapy, Quantum Medicine, and the use of stem cells. I offer remote consultations through my website: www.dralupitaharo.com . I am dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle by incorporating a whole-food, plant-based diet as a core component of my treatments. My approach is designed not only to treat diseases but also to enhance the quality of life of my patients, supporting comprehensive and sustained recovery.

For over 25 years, I have been a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist in Atlanta. Over the years, my personal journey for improved health and disease recovery led to practicing a whole-food plant-based, no oil eating style in 2021. Finding dramatic health benefits, I became increasingly interested in helping people achieve and sustain changes in their lifestyle to improve their health. Following my retirement from clinical psychiatric practice in 2023, I became board certified in Lifestyle Medicine. Partnering with our existing program, Kinetik Focus, we are launching Kinetik Health which focuses not only on education regarding the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, but also provides skills for behavioral change, accountability, coaching and community support to make the necessary changes for improved health.

I am a board certified Family Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician. In addition, I am certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. 
 
At Coastal Vitality MD, I work with people who want to lose excess weight, prevent or reverse chronic disease, or simply promote health and longevity.  Using a customized combination of powerful lifestyle tools — especially whole food plant-based nutrition — supplemented by weight loss medication when appropriate, I help each of my clients live their healthiest life.

I am devoted to addressing the ever increasing prevalence of chronic conditions in our population. I grew frustrated over the years with how chronic conditions are approached in our current healthcare paradigm. I sought further training in areas such as lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, plant-based nutrition, health coaching, and adopted a new approach by combining this knowledge. After transforming my own health, I decided it was time to offer this approach to my patients as well. I am grateful to have found similarly minded peers in healthcare, who continue to inspire and teach me through sharing experiences and knowledge. Finding opportunities to learn and grow is one of my favorite things to do, and when I feel the most alive. I am excited to announce that very soon I will be opening the doors to my passion project: The Healthy Conditions clinic.

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.
