Dr. David Minkoff is not only a renowned medical professional but also a visionary in the field of complementary and alternative medicine.
His journey has been characterized by a thirst for knowledge, leading him to explore a diverse array of disciplines, including heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, and more. Driven by his wife Sue’s growing interest in nutrition and biochemistry, he transitioned from Emergency Medicine into the realm of complementary and alternative medicine to uncover new pathways to healing and optimization.
His quest for answers led to the establishment of the LifeWorks Wellness Center in 1997, which swiftly grew to become a cornerstone of complementary and alternative medicine in the U.S.
Recognizing the demand for the cutting-edge products and protocols he developed, Dr. Minkoff founded BodyHealth in 2000.
