ENTREPRENEUR PROFILE – Marvin Singh

The number one thing on mankind’s mind right now is health. Now more than ever we are in need of guidance on how to stay in the best shape of our lives.  But, too often people in search of a healthy lifestyle find themselves on winding and twisting roads that lead to the wrong place. Starting off on the journey to wellness takes proper guidance. It takes expert leadership. One of the best guides on this tricky road called life is world-renowned wellness concierge Marvin Singh, M.D.

The California-based medical expert knows from years of experience how to get your medical record on track. Not long ago the doctor himself was overweight, feeling tired, low on energy, and had metabolic syndrome. He took a moment to reflect, and at a serendipitous suggestion of his wife he decided to do what he does best – learn more. He found the missing ingredient and is now using his knowledge to change lives across the planet.

Tell us a little bit about your medical background.

I practice as an integrative gastroenterologist in San Diego, California. I am a diplomat of the American Board of Integrative Medicine, board certified internist and gastroenterologist. I was trained by Dr. Andrew Weil, a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine, at the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine.

I am actively involved in the American Gastroenterological Association and American Medical Association. In addition, I am co-editing the textbook of Integrative Gastroenterology second edition. And, I already have written several chapters of my book that will launch next year.

What makes you different from other doctors in terms of the way you specifically practice?

I am truly dedicated to guiding my patients toward optimal wellness every step of the way. I use cutting-edge tests and personally designed protocols to develop individualized plans based on genetics, microbiome, metabolism, and lifestyle.

And, you are known for getting down to the root of the problem by specializing in our guts. What exactly is gut health?

The digestive tract makes up about 70% of our immune system. It runs our metabolism, makes vitamins for us, and communicates with other cells in our bodies. Some refer to the gut as the ‘second brain’ as it holds its own nervous system – the enteric nervous system.

It is incredible to think that our whole lives can be changed just with this ‘second brain.’ If there was a metaphor to describe how this system works in our body what would it be?

It is different systems working together. Think of it like a snow globe. In the globe you have all these snowflakes floating around when you shake it. Nothing is in coordination. But when you stop shaking it and let it just flow all the snowflakes float in the same swirl. It all flows in one way. It makes a beautiful image when the system flows together in harmony.

That is an excellent description.

Yes, it is helpful to think of it like this. And, you have to realize there is not just one magic pill that creates harmony in your body. When you have chaos and rigidity it means that you’re not really a part of this system of this world, this earth, this life that you have. You’re not able to function properly in this setting. When all of these things are together in harmony, you can function properly. Ask yourself what is the gateway? How do you get the integration? How do you know what is the key to unlock the door for integration?

We need that microbiome to be working in harmony with all the other elements of your body including the mitochondria, the genes and all the other inflammatory markers. All of these things we needed to work in harmony because only then can you have integration of the system. The system being your body.

This is a great philosophy to understand, especially with all the medical issues in the world currently.

The purpose of a truly comprehensive integrative health program is to compassionately help individuals feel well, obtain their goals, and take control of their lives. This is a fundamental principle in healing. It is the pathway to joy and happiness for the patient and the provider.

This should be accomplished by motivating patients to take action that will impact their health in a meaningful manner while utilizing the latest concepts in science and medicine to investigate their complaints. The goal is to provide them with the knowledge and tools they need to successfully fulfill their goals.

It is fascinating. As an expert in your field what is the most important thing that you can emphasize to potential clients who are searching for a wellness concierge?

A lot of studies out there are based on the population. They are not specific to you. They are not meant to show you exactly what is wrong with you, or how to change your lifestyle to be healthy. This is a game changer in how to define health. You have to find a plan that works for the individual.

And, this is the philosophy you work with at your clinic. Tell me more about the center.

The primary aim of the clinic is to help people understand their body, how it works, and what it needs. The main emphasis is on the individual; this is why the “One” is highlighted in the clinic’s name.

Precisione Clinic utilizes only highly trained board certified medical doctors to analyze, educate, guide, and coach its clients through the process of wellness and health. The Precisione way involves staying on the cutting edge of science, technology, and research, while finding the best possible ways to deliver the highly specific information for the purpose of prevention and extending life.

You are an inspiration. And, this will help so many people get motivated to use your guidance to optimize wellness and overall health.

I already saw years ago where science is moving and how things are going to be. Other people have written about this too. It’s not just me that has this concept, but nobody is really applying it in this way. And, I think that there will be a day where you have all your information in there. I am here to help you make guided decisions that are best for you and your health. Gut health is the direction science is going and it is the future.
