Dr. Dominique Fradin Read | VitaLifeMD
My name is Dominique Fradin-Read. I practice in Santa Monica, California. I’m originally from France, came in America 10 years ago and my field is mostly preventive medicine anti-aging and regenerative medicine.
As a physician, I got interested when I saw that conventional medicine was not really helpful to keep my patient healthy. So, I moved towards a more holistic approach to health, aiming at improving optimal health in all my patients and non-genetic. I have finished my fellowship program. I did it quite quickly in one year. I wanted to really learn as much as possible as quickly as possible to be able to offer to my patients the best care possible to keep them healthy. So, in my practice, I offer a comprehensive approach to health, which includes first lifestyle optimizing, diet nutrition, recommending exercise, helping people quit smoking. Then I, of course, optimized all the biochemistry hormone replacement therapy.
I use a lot of bioidentical hormones. I also use natural supplements to enhance longevity and prevent disease. I also use some new technologies that are very well used in Europe from early detection of disease and especially cardiovascular disease. And I also focus on helping people who had severe illnesses recover from those illnesses. We have a cancer recovery program that is very helpful for patients after they underwent either chemotherapy or surgery.
What I like with anti-aging medicine is first the connection with my patient. I really feel that it’s a different kind of medicine where you can help patients go deeper in their health objectives and goals. You have patients who really want to work on their health and, basically, most of them are so rewarding from the results they get, from the happiness to get back. I see so many results in terms of neurotransmitters balancing and mood improvement. All my patients tell me, I couldn’t believe that that was still possible, even at the level of their mental, their emotions. So, I think that’s what probably I like the best, but I like it all.
When you see patients having their risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Go down when you have patients within 75 pounds and being able to go back running. When you have patients, who are able to tell you my testosterone is now back to normal and I am having fantastic sex. I am able to go exercise five days a week and I eat healthy. I wasn’t able to do that before. It’s very rewarding!
So, I think that optimal health includes also another dimension. My patients once they feel good, if they’re healthy, now they tell me, I want to reach optimal beauty, which is part of optimal health. From my previous education in France, I am able to offer some new skin treatments that are totally non-invasive with a product that are going to be able to enhance your skin tone, reduce your wrinkles. It’s the part that I really love to work with my patients once they have reached their optimal health as a basis. — Dominique Fradin-Read
