About Kaizen Health

Compassionate. Evidence-Based. Designed for Sustainable Change.

At Kaizen Health, we help you take control of your health through small, meaningful improvements that add up to lasting transformation.

The word Kaizen (改善) means “continuous improvement.” It’s more than our name — it’s the philosophy that guides everything we do.

We believe real health isn’t about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about progress — one intentional step at a time. Our mission is to make science-based, compassionate care accessible, empowering, and personalized for every individual we serve.

Controlled Substances (like testosterone and phentermine) can only be prescribed in Utah, Washington, and Arizona.

Our Approach

Whole-Person,
Root-Cause Medicine

We focus on seven key lifestyle pillars:

Our goal is to help your body function at its best — naturally and sustainably.

The Evidence

The Science Behind Our Care

Our model blends modern medical science with lifestyle optimization to create sustainable, measurable results.

We rely on current research from the fields of obesity medicine, metabolic physiology, and functional nutrition to guide every recommendation.

We also understand that the human body doesn’t operate in isolation — metabolism, hormones, mood, sleep, and immunity are deeply interconnected. By addressing the whole picture, we help your body find balance again.

Example evidence base:

• Hall et al., Science, 2021 – The biology of obesity and metabolic regulation
• Müller et al., Diabetologia, 2019 – GLP-1 signaling and appetite control
• Longo & Mattson, Cell Metabolism, 2014 – Fasting and longevity
• Medina et al., Nutrients, 2019 – Gut microbiota and metabolic health

A Note From Dr. Baum

“My goal with Kaizen Health is to help people feel truly seen, understood, and capable of change.
Every recommendation is grounded in science — but delivered with empathy.
Because real health isn’t just about numbers — it’s about energy, confidence, and living fully.”
