Hello, I'm Dr. Will Nields, MD
I spent most of my career in the places where people arrive already in trouble: the operating room, an emergency department running something like a hundred patients a day, the intensive care unit, years of correctional medicine, and then twelve years of primary care with the same families coming back every season.
Thousands of people have sat across from me. After enough of them return with the same problems over and over, you begin to see that something is broken in the medical system. The current system treats symptoms, not patients.
Headwaters is what I built instead. I take the time to hear your whole history and build a plan that goes after the cause. If this is not the right place for what brought you here, my team will tell you on the first call. You can read more about my background here.

A standard physical is built to find disease. A longevity workup is built to find direction. This article explains how the tests in a longevity workup differ from the tests in a standard physical.

Understanding your results
Your labs came back normal and you still feel off
Normal describes the population you were compared against. It does not describe you, and the gap between those two things explains a lot of frustration.
