The People Behind Your Prevention Plan

I'm Ford Brewer, MD, MPH — preventive medicine physician and founder of PrevMed Health. I started as an ER doc watching heart attacks and strokes that coulda, woulda, shoulda never happened. I went to Johns Hopkins to learn prevention, did well, and ended up running their program as full-time faculty in teaching, research, and healthcare management.

I've served as Chief Medical Officer for Toyota North America, Premise Health, The Little Clinic at Kroger, MDLIVE, and KHealth — all focused on improving access to primary care and prevention.

Then I found plaque in my own arteries at 57. My arterial age was 73. Today it's 52. I reversed 21 years of arterial aging using the same protocol I build for every patient. I'm my own Patient Zero.

I built PrevMed Health because nobody should be blindsided the way I was. My YouTube channel has educated millions, and this practice brings cutting-edge, home-based preventive care to patients who are ready to stop guessing and start knowing.
