Hi! I’m Greg Natello, DO

A Cleveland Clinic and University of Alabama at Birmingham educated board-certified physician in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, and functional medicine certified practitioner.

I am also a former patient, traveled a similar road to you, so get your fears and frustration. But know that we can help you to take back wellness and Live Your Best Life, as I did myself.I was cured of type 2 diabetes at age 12 through dietary changes guided by my parents, a waitress and a barber. That blessing ignited my interest in medicine, and over time, personalized whole person approach to care.

Greg Natello DO, a former Gettysburg College football player and having overcome childhood obesity, is the Cardiology and Metabolic Expert to the NFLAA Tackle Obesity Challenge.

“More than weight loss, the Tackle Obesity Challenge is about adopting sustainable health promoting practices and favorably altering metabolism and mindset to feel well and function at one’s best, while reducing the risk for obesity-related issues like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancers dementia, and premature death.” “It’s a whole-person big picture approach.

Fortunate to have found the way to restore my own health 20 years ago, I subsequently offered a program to my patients from what I had learned.

Chronic health issues can be reversed, improved, and prevented. “Your habits set the stage for added vibrant years or illness,” Be mindful of things like eating a rainbow of nutrient-dense, non or minimally processed, anti-inflammatory foods. Prioritize joyous movement, sleep, lowering physiologic stress, using non-harmful products, cultivating healthy relationships, and practicing gratitude.”
