“With the right information and motivation, people can get to the root cause of their illnesses and cure themselves.”
Dr. Pierce is a board certified family medicine physician. He is passionate about using a whole food, plant-based diet and other lifestyle medicine modalities to help people get healthier, get off of medications, and live longer, fuller lives. His goal is to meet his patients where they are, and work with them at their pace to improve their health, one day at a time.
Since beginning his journey in plant-based medicine, he has been repeatedly amazed to learn how a very healthy diet and lifestyle habits can help prevent, treat, and even sometimes reverse illnesses such as overweight and obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and colitis, as well as depression, early dementia, and some cancers.
In addition to seeing patients with the above mentioned chronic conditions, he also has a special interest in using the power of lifestyle to help support a healthy pregnancy.
Dr. Pierce was born and raised in South Texas. He went to the University of Texas - Pan American for undergraduate studies and then Baylor College of Medicine for medical school. He learned how to be a family doctor through his training at the Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency in northern California, and later completed a fellowship in global health leadership at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital.
He has worked teaching residents and caring for patients in outpatient clinics, hospital wards, and emergency rooms in northern California, as well as working extensively around the globe, including El Salvador, Honduras, Peru, the Philippines, Lesotho, Malawi, South Sudan, and Kenya.
In addition to his work in lifestyle medicine, he continues to practice and teach high risk and surgical obstetrics, mentor outstanding family residents in global health, and to teach point-of-care ultrasound through the Global Ultrasound Institute.
