Did you ever wonder why I always check your vitamin D levels and ask if you’re taking your supplements? This blog, written by my colleague, Dr. Andrea Klemes, MDVIP’s chief medical officer, explains the importance of the sunshine vitamin.

When it comes to keeping our bodies functioning, Vitamin D plays a starring role. Often called the "sunshine vitamin," it's one of the 13 essential vitamins our bodies need for growth and maintenance. Yet, despite its importance, more than 40 percent of American adults don't get enough of it. Here.....

Members of MDVIP-affiliated practices experience 72% fewer hospitalizations compared to traditional primary care patients. The average hospital stay costs more than $17,000, and many visits can be much more expensive.

The MDVIP model of personalized preventive care allows the physician to take a more proactive, rather than reactive, approach; we believe this increased physician interaction is the reason for the lower hospital utilization and ultimately lower healthcare costs seen here.

Rice is a staple in many countries, but it can be controversial in the U.S. because it’s so highly processed. But rice is also gluten-free and rich in vitamins, minerals and flavonoids.

I strongly encourage my patients to eat whole foods; however, I realize that it’s not easy. Almost 50 percent of foods and 40 percent of beverages sold at supermarkets are considered ultra-processed. These foods have been tied to chronic diseases, and a recent study links them to premature death. Here are eight tips to help lower your consumption of ultra-processed foods.

Processed foods have gotten a bad rap over the last decade. Most of the food we buy at the supermarket is processed to some degree. Breads, pastas, frozen vegetables, dairy products and spices -- even baby carrots -- are processed.
