Daniel Stickler

Dr. Daniel Stickler practice general medicine including: functional medicine, nutrition medicine (functional/Paleo nutrition), age management, weight loss, and disease management.

I run a concierge health and wellness practice called Physiologix Wellness Institute (www.physiologix.org), this is Functional Medicine/Concierge care. We strive to optimize health through nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and hormone replacement therapy.

In private practice, my focus shifted toward advanced laparoscopic techniques and weight loss surgery. I performed the first laparoscopic gastric bypass in West Virginia and became a national speaker and educator. I travelled around the country teaching the technique.

I also developed one of the top programs for comprehensive treatment of obesity – at one point we had two nurses, two physician assistants, two dietitians and two exercise physiologists. After 3000 weight loss surgery operations and up to 10 years of follow-up, I concluded it is not the answer. We had a non-surgical weight loss program that incorporated the comprehensive lifestyle approach and we were seeing similar long-term results.
