Primary Focus- Whole You

Dr. Biggee's primary focus is to partner with those who wish to optimize their health through a lifestyle, ayurvedic, and integrative approach. With a foundation in traditional Rheumatology, she has special interests in autoimmune, inflammatory, gut health, and musculoskeletal issues. However, she recognizes the interconnectedness of the whole person and adopts a human-centered lifestyle medicine approach rather than focusing solely on diseases.

By adopting a proactive and preventive approach, Dr. Biggee recognizes the potential for early intervention to mitigate disease. Rather than solely focusing on a list of specific conditions, she acknowledges the importance of personalized care and tailoring plans in lifestyle and wellness to the unique needs of each person. This approach allows her to address individual risk factors, family history, and overall well-being, ensuring comprehensive care that goes beyond disease management alone. This inclusive approach encourages individuals with varying backgrounds and goals to seek her expertise and guidance in their pursuit of lifelong health and vitality.
