ABOUT DR. NICOLE PEOPLES:
Dr. Nicole Peoples is a Board-Certified Physician in Internal Medicine based out of Atlanta, Georgia specializing in Functional Medicine. She attended Spelman College and then went on to obtain my medical degree at Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Why do some people get sick while others remain healthy into old age? This was the question that drove her to pursue a career in medicine. Osteopathy appealed to her because it allowed her to focus on the whole person. She completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at Alameda County Medical Center, UCSF Affiliate training program, where she focused on strategies in behavioral change through motivational interviewing and health coaching. Following her residency, she taught health promotion at Stanford University’s Cardiovascular Prevention Research Center and worked on worksite wellness and physician burnout. She then obtained additional board certifications in Integrative and Holistic Medicine and certified through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In addition to her private practice, she has also worked as a hospitalist for over 10 years. At the end of it all, she realized that medications alone don’t make people healthy, but a healthy lifestyle does.
Dr. Nicole Peoples is a mother to 3 beautiful children, a wife, and a daughter who recognizes the challenges that come with putting health first. She identifies with feelings of doing it all, but somehow still feels like she is not doing enough. She realized that if she wanted to help women like her stay healthy as we age, she was going to have to make it simple and practical. Taking care of yourself shouldn’t be hard but when you have a million things vying for your attention at some point you have to become intentional about taking care of yourself. Her practice aims to help you do this so that you can actually get healthier, stronger, more vibrant as you age.
