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.
