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.

SUZANNAH BOZZONE, MD For years, I was prescribing medicine I wouldn’t take myself and frustrated by the seemingly incurable state of our most prevalent, deadly and costly chronic diseases. Finally, I found Lifestyle Medicine, which is not only strongly evidence-based, but resonates with my desire to treat myself, my family and my patients more in accordance with nature’s guidance and, most importantly, addressing diseases from their root causes, rather than covering up symptoms. Best of all, this method empowers patients, rather than dictating dependence on our pharmaceutically-driven medical system. Dr. Bozzone moved to the Chattanooga area from Sonoma, CA, where she worked for six years in private practice and community health. She previously served as the Medical Director of Wellness at Sonoma Valley Hospital.
