​SPEAKERS:

​Todd Vande Hei

​Todd Vande Hei is the founder of a Southern California-based healthcare company redefining what it means to practice medicine. At the heart of his mission is a shift away from reactive, pharmaceutical-dependent care and toward a proactive model grounded in root-cause healing. His clinics integrate advanced diagnostics like DEXA scans and comprehensive lab work with, primarily, non-pharmaceutical interventions—including strength training, nutrition, lifestyle optimization, and stress management. When he’s not leading his team or dissecting lab results, you’ll find Todd out hunting, kitesurfing, or "geeking out" on the science of peak performance—always in pursuit of deeper truths about the body, the mind, and what it means to live well.
