I am a practicing OB/GYN with particular focus on primary care of women through all stages of life. I have been the acting director of reproductive medicine (caring for infertility)for many years and in that context have developed a lifestyle program ( The LIFE PROGRAM) which has evolved to cover a full range of evidence-based prevention encompassing the gamut of chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, dementia, cancers and many others. We now have compelling evidence that these epidemic-wide problems are preventable and in some cases reversible. 
On a personal note, my family and I try to be as self sufficient as possible. We raise much of our own food by tending a large organic garden and orchard based on regenerative agriculture. Gardening is a metaphor for health, figuratively and literally. The health of soil is not unlike the micro biome we carry within us.

Driven by an unwavering dedication to health and well-being, Niki Davis, MD, made a transformative shift from a career in rocket science to become a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician. Her journey began as a young teen when she conscientiously started eliminating animal products from her diet due to health concerns. Despite earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering and contributing significantly to the space shuttle program, her true passion was rooted in health and nutrition. Motivated by the aspiration to enhance both her own and her family’s well-being, she wholeheartedly embraced a plant-based lifestyle.

She graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017 and completed a rigorous Family Medicine residency program in 2020.

Dr. Davis is a sought-after speaker at national and virtual plant-based events and has had the privilege of learning from esteemed mentors such as Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Anthony Lim, Dr. Laurie Marbas, and Dr. Alan Goldhamer, among others.

Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies via eCornell, and is certified in The Starch Solution. She is on the board of directors for Plant Based Support.
