As a Family Physician, Julie Kissel M.D. has shared many of the same frustrations that her fellow affiliated physicians experienced with traditional medicine. Dr. Kissel transitioned into preventive medicine so she could step outside the box and prescribe treatments from a proactive standpoint, as opposed to the more reactive remedies used in conventional medicine. Dr. Kissel encourages her patients to make lifestyle changes to avoid harmful free radicals, inflammation, and stress-induced illness.
