Meliorem Health (meaning "improved
health") is a private freestanding practice specializing in the application of lifestyle medicine, psychology and behavioral change to positively impact the health and wellness of individuals. Our services offer supportive and compassionate care to meet the needs of our patients and clients. Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of the Salt Lake City and surrounding communities we serve by providing excellent and affordable care that is accessible to all. Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach demonstrated to prevent and treat diseases related to lifestyle. It treats the underlying cause of disease rather than its symptoms that are too often addressed with ever increasing quantities of pills and procedures. This doesn’t mean “anti-medication” and doesn’t mean that lifestyle medicine is the only way. It means that the focus is treating the cause, and in many situations, means working closely with your personal physician to increase the chances of successful treatment and improved health.
Our primary operating philosophy is total wellness.
Meliorem Health's approach to treatment is based upon evidence based medicine in which comprehensive lifestyle changes are used to prevent, treat, and reverse the progression of chronic diseases by addressing their underlying cause. This is accomplished through interventions such as health risk assessment screening, health behavior change coaching, and the clinical application of lifestyle modifications. The relationship between our behaviors and mental and physical health. Our philosophy is that many of the common and chronic symptoms, conditions, illnesses and diseases are directly associated with behaviors and habits in which we engage. Thus, the behaviors we choose play a significant (and often critical) role in our physical and mental health. Positive, healthy behaviors tend to increase the chance of mental and physical health...whereas, negative, unhealthy behaviors tend to decrease mental and physical health.
The following model provides a basic overview of common negative physical and mental results of poor eating and nutrition. Specifically, it reflects how unhealthy behaviors can lead to negative, unhealthy impact on mental and physical health...and when those behaviors continue (and are not changed), often lead to mental and physical illness and disease.

A Different Approach. At Meliorem Health, we approach health and wellness on an individual basis. Rather than focusing on diagnostics and prescriptions, we help individuals identify, understand, and treat the underlying physical and psychological health conditions. Treatment is designed to be practical and achievable, as well as advancing in smaller, manageable steps. We have found that patients often have better success when working on the various pieces, as opposed to all-at-once.
We would independently with patients, as well as collaboratively with patient primary healthcare physicians. We are not anti-prescriptions, but many patients are able to reduce their dependence upon prescriptions over time (under direction of their primary healthcare physician). 
Your Journey to Mental, Emotional, Physical and Behavioral Health and Wellness Begins Here. When it comes to dealing with various factors that have negative impact on our mental, emotional, physical and behavioral well-being and health, it is not uncommon to experience roadblocks, barriers, and challenges that prohibit us from moving from unhealthy to healthy. When we experience these challenges, such areas of our lives as work, school, finances, friends, family, and relationships can (and often) suffer. At Meliorem Health, we provide individuals with real-time, actionable solutions to overcome those barriers to achieve the health, wellness and balance that they want and deserve.
