Description

Soon after starting his career in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Mason became frustrated with our Health Care system in that it seemed like it was all set up to sit around waiting for people to get sick and - even worse - in many ways, keep them sick, as opposed to helping them stay healthy and live their best lives. Staying healthy and out of the ER and hospital. Not needing to use their health insurance. Staying off or reducing their reliance on their medications. And the best part, fully understanding and appreciating how powerful they really are in that they are strong, meant to do hard things and they, themselves, are the ones who can define and live their very best life.

This naturally drew Dr. Mason to the practice of Lifestyle Medicine and launching Old Mission Lifestyle Medicine, a health wellness and longevity medical practice.

In addition to the 6 core fundamentals of Lifestyle Medicine - exercise, nutrition, supplements, mindfulness, sleep and relationships - Medical Aesthetics and IV Nutrition is a natural fit for living your best, fully optimized life and taking care of your mind, body and spirit, its inside and out, which is actually the greatest gift you can give to those you love and care about the most.

Dr. Mason’s work in Lifestyle Medicine lead to an expansion into Medical Aesthetics and IV Nutrition Therapy, not only because of the terrific fit with health, wellness and longevity yet also an enormous legal, accounting, business coaching/support and Medical Direction issue for Med Spa and IV Nutrition clinic owners across the country.

In 38 states, it is illegal for anyone other than a physician (or NP in the few states authorizing independent practice) to own a Med Spa or IV Clinic. To that end it is also illegal for a non-physician to employ or contract with a physician as Medical Director. This is called the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine (CPOM). It’s even more treacherous in states that do not follow this doctrine as they can simply make the rules up as they go.

Dr. Mason draws upon his Lifestyle Medicine and leadership skills, abilities and experience by providing a turn-key business model, leadership, coaching, medical direction and more to Med Spas and IV Nutrition Clinics across the country and welcomes you. Transform yourself. Live your best. Life. Optimized.
