Our Philosophy
vim inspires, instructs, and empowers you along the path towards optimal health and well being.
Performance Medicine
You have incredible potential. To realize it, you must take control of your health.
Traditional medicine diagnoses and manages “dis-ease.” Biohackers take health to an unscientific extreme. Both leave most of us stranded in the middle, confused about how to craft a health plan for our unique physiology, psychology, and priorities.
At vim, we practice what we call “Performance Medicine", which integrates your medical care with cutting-edge practices in human performance to enhance your functioning in arenas of your daily life. The blend of evidence-based medicine with lifestyle design, behavior change, and tailored training of the mind and body empowers you to perform optimally.
The objectives of Performance Medicine include the following:
A focus on maintaining and increasing an individual’s adaptive capacity throughout life through the incremental application of targeted stress, paired with optimal recovery.
A greater sense of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing that enables one to contribute to the greater good of humanity
The adoption of strategies that increase an individual’s capacity to postpone physical decline, prevent and reverse disease, and protect against injury
Proactive healthcare
Your health needs are currently aided by siloed industries: traditional health care and medicine, pharmaceuticals and supplements, “wellness,” etc. etc. As a result, your health strategy is mediocre, fragmented, and reactive. You are likely operating, feeling, and living below your capacity.
Your health plan should be personalized, holistic, and proactive. It isn’t.
Your health care providers should promote and prescribe health-enhancing practices for your everyday life. They don’t.
