Dr. Rebecca Chen is a Board-Certified Preventive Medicine physician and exercise physiologist with 15 years of clinical experience integrating lifestyle medicine, nutrition science, and functional fitness programming. She currently directs a preventive health clinic focused on chronic disease reversal through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Dr. Rebecca Chen completed her MD at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine followed by a residency in Preventive Medicine and a fellowship in Sports Medicine and Human Performance. She began her career in hospital-based primary care before transitioning to preventive practice after witnessing the limitations of treating lifestyle diseases with medications alone. Rebecca holds certifications in Lifestyle Medicine (DipABLM), Clinical Nutrition, and Functional Movement Systems, and has published peer-reviewed research on cardiovascular risk reduction through exercise prescription and dietary modification. Her clinical practice integrates telemedicine platforms, wearable health monitoring data interpretation, and personalized nutrition protocols based on metabolic health markers rather than one-size-fits-all guidelines. She works extensively with patients managing chronic conditions—hypertension, prediabetes, autoimmune inflammation—teaching them to use food, movement, sleep optimization, and stress management as primary interventions. Rebecca stays current through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, attends annual conferences on longevity research and nutritional biochemistry, and collaborates with strength coaches and physical therapists to provide comprehensive care. She writes to empower individuals to take ownership of their health trajectories, translating complex physiological mechanisms into practical daily habits that prevent disease, extend healthspan, and improve quality of life without relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions.
