“With the right information and motivation, people can get to the root cause of their illnesses and cure themselves”.
Dr. Pierce is passionate about using a whole food, plant-based diet and other lifestyle medicine modalities to help people get healthier, get off of medications, and live longer, fuller lives. His goal is to meet his patients where they are, and work with them at their pace to improve their health, one day at a time.
Since beginning his journey in plant-based medicine, he has been repeatedly amazed to learn how a very healthy diet and lifestyle habits can help prevent, treat, and even sometimes reverse illnesses such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease, among many others.
In addition to seeing patients interested in using healthy habits to address chronic illnesses, his special interests include using the power of lifestyle to help support healthy pregnancies, as well as how growing an edible garden promotes individual and community health.
Dr. Pierce was born and raised in South Texas. He went to the University of Texas - Pan American for undergraduate studies and then Baylor College of Medicine for medical school. He learned how to be a family doctor through his training at the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency in northern California, and later completed a fellowship in global health leadership at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital.
He has worked teaching residents and caring for patients in outpatient clinics, hospital wards, and emergency rooms in northern California, as well as working around the globe with a focus on HIV, tuberculosis, and tropical diseases.
In addition to his work in lifestyle medicine, he continues to practice and teach high risk and surgical obstetrics to family medicine residents at the Contra Costa Family Medicine Residency.
When not at work, Dr. Pierce can be found in his garden, where he and his family grow a lot of their own food.
Dr. Jeff Pierce is board certified in both Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine and is licensed to see patients in California, Florida, and Texas. He is currently accepting new patients at the amazing nationwide telemedicine practice, Love.Life Telehealth (love.life/tele....

Growing muscles will help you later in life more than you could ever realise so it’s best to act before it’s too late. Carbohydrates are the single best way to train hard and recover and grow those muscles you only grow about one to 4 g of muscle per day, so you must act now before it’s too late , Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

[@freddyheynssens1950]

I thought we needed protein and exercise to grow muscles. Have a great day.

[@COACH-CARBOHYDRATE]

@@freddyheynssens1950 you have been misled by the food and fitness industry to believing this. The most critical thing to want to exercise is to have lots of energy from eating lots of carbohydrates and a low-fat diet as greasy food makes you feel sluggish. You can’t push yourself to absolute failure and get fit fast, if you do not consume enough carbohydrates, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

@@freddyheynssens1950 - just be careful of the plant foods that damage the gut, Dr S Gundry is worth looking into as well. many foods have lectins. lol.
