SHIFT is a passionate team composed of board-certified physicians, registered dietitians, and physical therapists in Chicago who are committed to providing a more intelligent and effective approach to personalized healthcare.
By prioritizing a trusting relationship to better understand your values, motivations, stressors, and limitations, we identify health opportunities and provide individualized recommendations as a part of your personal health roadmap. Our nutrition, fitness, and recovery experts empower you to make sustainable health changes in your life.
Our approach emphasizes preventative care, continuous and collaborative health planning, and comprehensive treatment of acute medical needs and chronic health conditions. Our physicians and medical staff seek to understand your needs and address your specific health concerns. We provide you with the professional service, expert knowledge, and personalized care you deserve. SHIFT leverages strong relationships with outside experts to ensure you receive high-quality, specialized medical care when more complex issues arise. We go beyond traditional concierge medicine by working closely with you and external medical practitioners to coordinate your care, serving as your advocate, and guiding you through the most effective course of treatment.
Engaging in regular exercise creates changes in the brain that pave the way for greater physical and mental performance. Making physical activity a part of your daily routine is essential for building and maintaining health. SHIFT’s experts work in collaboration with you to design sensible fitness plans based on your personal health goals and physical abilities. By varying the intensity, duration, type, and frequency of workouts, we empower you to make gains in all areas of physical health, including cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, speed, and agility. These plans also account for existing medical conditions, specific goals, eating habits, and recovery activities to ensure safe and consistent progress.
We empower you to think differently about nutrition and to use food to improve health, performance, and energy levels. Our registered dietitians help you fuel with the appropriate balance of nutrient-dense foods at the optimal times to meet your needs and advise your goals. An important part of our work is supporting you to make food choices that nourish your body and mind in an easy and sustainable way. Promoting a healthy, balanced relationship with food, we design customized, evidence-based fueling plans that enhance your approach to nutrition and empower you to fuel with purpose.
Recovery is an essential but often overlooked and undervalued aspect of building health. Even as exercise and nutrition help to improve our health and performance, the daily allostatic load (wear-and-tear) can deplete our energy stores and damage physiological functions. Our physical therapists use a broad range of recovery tools and techniques to treat existing injuries, help restore vital functions, and optimize athletic performance. By giving mind and body the time and resources necessary to recuperate, we reduce the risk of injury, develop higher stress tolerance, enhance future fitness performance, and maximize energy levels, among other positive health outcomes.
