About WellMD®
Pioneering personalized preventive healthcare since 1999, focused on addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms.
Our Story
WellMD® was founded in 1999 by Dr. Leon Hodes, a Board Certified practicing physician on Long Island, New York, specializing in internal medicine and prevention.
Early in his medical career, Dr. Hodes became fascinated how chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia could be curtailed and even prevented with lifestyle modification. Dr. Hodes started focusing on the root cause of disease rather than just treating the symptoms, and started helping his patients adopt and sustain healthy behaviors that would improve quality of life.
With the WellMD® methodology he found great success prescribing personalized exercise programs and nutritional lifestyle and stress management protocols.
A Message From Our Founder
“The US healthcare system is broken, piling more and more medication for treating many preventable chronic diseases. I founded WellMD® to try and fix this craziness by utilizing data-driven, evidence-based data, technology, nutrition, and exercise to reduce our reliance on pills and unnecessary treatment, so we can live fuller longer healthier lives.
