ABOUT REED

I am a board certified Internal Medicine physician, international Life and Wellness coach with a long history of Disease Reversal coaching. My areas of interests are prevention, longevity, treating obesity naturally, using Life, Life Purpose and Relationship coaching to open the door to optimum health and exceptional life performance.

I am the founder of Optimum Health, PA, a medical practice located just outside of San Antonio, Texas which focuses on reversal and prevention of chronic diseases, longevity, weight loss and wellness by applying the most valid science from the fields of nutrition, psychology, exercise and sleep physiology. I’m licensed in the state of Texas. I employ coaching models and principles as set forth by the International Coaching Federation to help patients and clients make sustainable changes in their life.

I’m a seventh generation Texan, received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Science in Molecular Biology/Immunology from Texas A&M University. My research focus at that time was on histones and DNA packaging in dinoflagellates. My Master’s thesis was on “Oncogene Activation.” I subsequently did research on G protein receptor ligand binding at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.

 

After completing my Master’s training, a friend and I embarked on a cycling tour from Austin, TX to the Grand Canyon. Along the way we experienced considerable hardship in West Texas. One evening after a 110 mile ride in 100 degree heat, I received news that my grand-mother was dying. To get home I called a rancher named Wayne Joiner who we had met the day before. When I asked Wayne if he could drive us to the nearest airport a 100 miles away if we paid him, he paused for what seemed like eternity and said, “Nah… ain’t going to do that … I’m taking you home.” He drove us nonstop through the Texas night- over 600+ miles. He refused any form of compensation inclu- ding gas money. When we got “home,” my grandmother was on the ventilator but fully lucid and I was able to say “Goodbye.” She died that night. A week later we resumed the ride. Wayne’s selfless service and countless other acts of kindness by people we met along the way transformed my life. It renewed my faith in people and inspired me to enter Medical School. I went on a bike ride and became a doctor.

 

While attending Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for medical school I developed an interest in nutrition and preventive medicine. John Robbins’ “Diet for a New America” inspired me to learn more and apply nutritional plant-based strategies to the practice of medicine. I completed training in Internal Medicine at Providence Portland Medical Center in Portland, Oregon and for several years helped develop and grow an integrative medical practice in Portland with a diverse group of practitioners that included cardiologist, primary care, chiropractic, counseling social work and acupuncture. Due to the declining health of my father, I returned to Texas and founded Optimum Health.

My Hobbies include: Hiking, Aviation, camping, cycling, swimming, running, travel, gardening, photography, spending time in nature and making deeper connections with family, friends and new friends.
