Daniel Thomas, DO

The path to good health starts with finding the right doctor. My name is Dr. Daniel Thomas. I exemplify what intelligent people want most in a doctor: Excellent credentials, years of experience, and the ability to target the root cause of disease instead of masking the symptoms. I am a leader in metabolic and nutritional medicine, and over the past 30 years, I have helped thousands of patients prevent and overcome chronic disease, and achieve better health and increased longevity.
Here are my promises to you: I will listen closely to understand your needs. After uncovering your true state of health, I will give you straight answers so you can make intelligent decisions about your health. I will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and offer the needed tools and strategies to combat the underlying biological mechanisms that make you old, sick, and unfit.
Before you consult with any doctor, you should know their credentials. Here are mine: I earned my medical degree from Des Moines University and served my hospital internship at Northwest General Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Because medical education only begins in medical school, I didn’t stop there. In addition to a medical degree, I earned a post-doctoral Master of Science degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida College of Medicine. This advanced degree provided a deeper understanding of cellular biochemistry and human physiology than was taught in medical school.
The Master’s degree gave me a greater understanding of the intimate connections between aging and disease, and metabolic dysfunction and faulty nutrition. It allowed me to provide even better care to my patients by giving me the knowledge on how to use the science of metabolic and nutritional medicine to prevent and reverse age-related diseases, and stimulate metabolism, immunity, and cellular rejuvenation. Out of the 900,000 physicians in the United States, less than 0.01% have this important and cutting-edge degree.
In addition to a Master’s degree, I have a post-doctoral Graduate Certificate in Metabolic Endocrinology and another in Brain Fitness & Memory Management—both from the University of South Florida College of Medicine. This was followed by a Fellowship in Integrative Cancer Therapy with the Metabolic Medical Institute. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Andrews University as well as a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. I am currently serving a two-year Fellowship in Advanced Metabolic Cardiology under the tutelage of Drs. Mark Houston and Stephen Sinatra.
Why so much education? Because medical school and residency are no longer enough. With scientific research proceeding at a pace that grows ever more rapid, by the time a doctor enters practice, medical knowledge has advanced at least a decade. To stay on the cutting-edge of integrative medicine and provide the most effective, evidence-based therapies to our patients, conscientious and forward-thinking doctors like myself have chosen to go back to school.
In my medical practice, I see patients 3½ days per week. I spend the rest of the week poring over medical journals, reading medical books, listening to lectures, collaborating with colleagues, writing health blogs, and attending scientific conferences. As an active clinical researcher and lifelong learner, I have spent over 30,000 hours outside of the office thus far searching for medical information that can have far-reaching effects on your health and longevity.
