About Us
We left the system because it was failing our patients.
Olympus Health exists because two doctors got tired of practicing medicine that didn't actually create health. This is the story of what they built instead.
The Journey
We got tired of practicing medicine that didn't actually create health.
We became doctors because we wanted to help people live better — not just survive longer on a growing list of medications.
We quickly realized that the biggest drivers of long-term health aren't prescriptions or procedures. Lasting health is built through training, nutrition, movement, recovery, and lifestyle. It's not a procedure to be purchased — it's the product of habits and effort done consistently and intelligently.
When we practiced with this in mind, we almost immediately witnessed the difference.
- Our patients got stronger
- Chronic conditions reversed
- Medications were reduced or eliminated
- People felt capable in their bodies again
Why We Left
The system wasn't built for the problems we needed to solve.
Insurance-based medicine pays doctors for volume, not outcomes. We weren't solving problems — we were following orders. We weren't working for patients — we were working for payors.
Once we accepted that our autonomy and our patients' best interests had been hijacked by a system built for a totally different purpose, we made the only decision that made sense. We left it behind and built something new.
- 01
"15-minute appointments where you only get about 2 minutes with your actual doctor."
- 02
"Insurance companies making medical decisions regardless of what you and your doctor want."
- 03
"Reducing a multifaceted human life into a single diagnosis and a predefined treatment plan."
So we built Olympus Health — a practice where the patient's needs and goals are the only guiding principle.
Our Mission
Guide patients to live with as little medical intervention as possible.
We focus on three core areas that, when working together, create the foundation for a body that performs for life.
Metabolic Health
Getting your body's systems working properly — blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, and the hormonal environment that controls your weight and energy.
Musculoskeletal Health
Building strength and capability that lasts — movement quality, injury resilience, and physical competence that doesn't decline with age.
Hormone Health
Optimizing the chemical messengers that control everything — testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, and the systems that affect how you feel, think, and perform.
Our Philosophy
"Training first. Medication as strategic support. Never the other way around."
We coach training programs with the diligence traditionally reserved for prescription medications. We manage medications with the same long-term thinking expected of a coach. This marriage of movement and medicine is what makes Olympus different from everything else you've tried.
