CV link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tGc7pa_KjPkz6rfQYu_EfP-3sQe4ibCU/view Who is Dr. Freeman? A native of Eastern Virginia, Dr. Freeman has over 30 years of primary care, Ob/Gyn, endocrinology and research experience.He suffered a career changing injury and was forced to abandon his surgical practice in 2001. Forced to reinvent himself, he retrained in clinical research and began serving as an investigator in clinical trials upon relocation back to Virginia. At that time, despite following all the recommendations of modern medicine, he found himself obese, pre-diabetic, on 2 blood pressure drugs and cholesterol drugs. His father had suffered a stroke in his mid-40's. Dr. Freeman was forced to hit the books.

Saving Himself/ Helping You To save himself from many erroneous concepts taught in medicine, he immersed himself in paleopathology, evolutionary medicine, alternative medicine and lots of biochemistry. He lost 39 pounds from a 5ft 6inch frame and had blood chemistry numbers to sing about. He knows the biochemistry and he knows how to get you there! As a contributing investigator to over 200 research trials, he has learned the limitations of pharmaceuticals and the vast power of environment and some supplementation. In 2008 he opened Healthspan of Hampton Roads on a small scale to help people like you. The recent ability to provide telemedicine (internet video) consultation across the state of Virginia allows him to reach more of those who need help. healthspanhr@gmail.com |
His Philosophy Most laboratory normal values are skewed by an inherently unhealthy group of people that set the norms. Many normal values were merely statistically derived without reference to symptoms. The concept of "that's normal for your age" creeped in. Many lab tests such as thyroid, testosterone, adrenal hormones, and various measure of metabolic health, are better in the young than in the aging population. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the norms of a vital 21 year old athlete? Perhaps we should strive for that? He can't wait to help you reach your goals! In almost all cases a knowledgeable review of metabolism markers can reveal the essence of one's weight challenges and often unlocks the secret of fatigue.He is willing to explore new concepts in longevity including off label rapamycin and other mTor manipulators for longevity. "You deserve fee transparency, and hours of productive time with an experienced physician. You deserve to have a doctor who knows that most are living on a budget and want the most from their health care dollar. I love spending at least an hour and a half with every patient, either in person or by computer video link!"-Dr. Freeman healthspanhr@gmail.com |
