AXIOM ADVISORY
Private, doctoral-led health advisory practice for people who want a more proactive approach to their health, performance and longevity.
Dr. DOUGLAS SUFFIELD, DACM · AP · CFMP
THE PRACTICE
We plan our careers, manage our finances, invest in our families, and prepare for the future. We understand that the things that matter most deserve more than occasional attention. Our health should be no different.AXIOM brings that same level of intention to your health through an ongoing advisory relationship built around understanding where you are, what matters to you, and where you want to go.As a Florida Licensed Acupuncture Physican with extensive training in Functional and Integrative Medicine and primary health provider status I have the authority to order laboratory testing, specialized functional diagnostics, and complex imaging such as x-ray, fMRI, CT, Sonography, EKC, etc. AXIOM Advisory brings this full scope of practice to our members with the goal of making better-informed decisions about your health with a trusted professional helping you navigate them every step of the way.
THE AXIOM METHOD
Good health decisions begin with context and a deep understanding of your past, and current health. The AXIOM Method is a continuous process for understanding your health, identifying what deserves attention, and deciding what should happen next in order to support long term health and capability.
ASSESS
Your history, current concerns, lifestyle, goals, previous testing, health data, and what you want your health to look like in the years to come.
ANALYZE
Identify patterns, priorities, and gaps. Both Biomecicine and Functional Medicine diagnostics are used when they can meaningfully improve our understanding of your health.
STRATEGIZE
Turn information into priorities. Rather than trying to change everything at once, we determine what matters most, establish a clear direction and action plan.
IMPLEMENT
Put the strategy into practice through appropriate clinical care, nutrition, movement, recovery, supplementation, referrals, or other targeted interventions.
OPTIMIZE
Refine the strategy based on response, progress, changing circumstances, and new information.
REASSESS
Optimal Health is not static it's a moving target. So we continuously revisit: goals, objective data, progress, and health priorities so your strategy continues to evolve with you.
Return to the larger picture. Determine what has changed, what matters
ABOUT DR. SUFFIELD
Before healthcare, I trained in elite athletic environments, including IMG Academy, where I learned what preparation and recovery make possible.My medical career began far from a clinic. I provided occupational first aid and emergency care in remote mining camps, oil fields, and mineral exploration sites across northern Canada and Alaska, and later served as a construction and industrial safety officer. That work taught me to assess quickly, act decisively, and own the outcome.At UF Health and the University of Florida College of Medicine, I served as the Acupuncture Physician in a multidisciplinary neurological recovery program and helped lead a grant-funded, non-opioid pain and recovery initiative supporting more than 1,000 patients a year. That work earned the Robert L. Wears Patient Team Safety Leadership Award.AXIOM is the practice I built around what that work taught me: better care takes time, judgment, and continuity.
