“I have been interested in pathological aging and metabolic health starting well before my formal medical education.” 

​

As a hospitalist caring for serious acute illnesses and for chronic progressive diseases, Dr. Causey is a daily witness to many devastating but preventable metabolic diseases.  He feels the evidence is now indisputable, connecting diet and body weight to metabolic diseases and even cardiovascular health.  Metabolic diseases include type 2 diabetes, premature hardening of the arteries, elevated blood pressure, low thyroid, and elevated blood lipids.  In his role at Causey Med Aesthetic, he has the opportunity to intervene before these metabolic diseases and their downstream effects strike, providing motivated patients with knowledge, noninvasive treatments, and encouragement to improve their weight and overall health.

“I do not intend to replace your PCP, cardiologist, or endocrinologist.  However, my complementary focus on your weight, lifestyle and metabolic health should make their job much easier and allow you to take far less medication.”
