AXIOM ADVISORY
Dr. DOUGLAS SUFFIELD, DACM · AP · CFMP
Private Health Advisory for people who want a more deliberate, proactive approach to their health, performance and longevity.
THE PRACTICE
I founded AXIOM Advisory on a simple belief: better health rarely happens by accident. It requires attention, good diagnostic information, thoughtful decisions, and a strategy that evolves with you.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.Whether that means addressing something that isn’t working today, improving how you feel and perform, or protecting your health for the years ahead, the goal is the same: to make better-informed decisions about your health with a trusted professional helping you navigate them over time.
THE AXIOM METHOD
Good health decisions begin with context and a deep understanding of where you've been, where you are, and where you are trying to go.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
Understand the whole picture. Your history, current concerns, lifestyle, goals, previous testing, health data, and what you want your health to allow you to do.
ANALYZE
Identify patterns, priorities, and gaps. Diagnostics are used when they can meaningfully improve our understanding or change what we do next.
STRATEGIZE
Turn information into priorities. Rather than trying to change everything at once, we determine what matters most and establish a clear direction.
IMPLEMENT
Put the strategy into practice through appropriate clinical care, nutrition, movement, recovery, supplementation, referrals, or other targeted interventions.
OPTIMIZE
Follow what happens in the real world. We refine the strategy based on response, progress, changing circumstances, and new information.
REASSESS
Health is not static. We periodically revisit your goals, objective data, progress, and priorities so your strategy continues to evolve with you.
Return to the larger picture. Determine what has changed, what matters
ABOUT DR. SUFFIELD
My career has moved through high-performance athletics, private practice, multidisciplinary care, and academic medicine. Each experience shaped how I think about health and, ultimately, why I built AXIOM.Before entering healthcare, I competed in high-level junior and amateur golf and trained within elite athletic environments, including IMG Academy. It was there that I first learned the value of preparation, recovery, and having the right people around you when performance matters.My clinical career later brought me to UF Health and the University of Florida College of Medicine. I served as the sole Acupuncture Physician within a multidisciplinary neurological recovery program and helped lead one of the first grant-funded non-opioid pain and recovery initiatives within an academic medical system, supporting more than 1,000 patients annually. That work led to national presentations and recognition with the Robert L. Wears Patient Team Safety Leadership Award.Today, I am a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Florida-licensed Acupuncture Physician, Diplomat of Oriental Medicine, and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.Across each of those environments, I kept returning to the same idea: better care requires enough time to understand the person, enough judgment to determine what matters, and enough continuity to see where those decisions lead.AXIOM is the practice I built around that idea.
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Every AXIOM client enters the same advisory relationship. The difference is access.
PRIVATE HEALTH ADVISORY
An ongoing advisory relationship for individuals who want a more deliberate approach to their health, performance, and longevity.Through regular consultations, thoughtful assessment, targeted diagnostics when appropriate, and an evolving health strategy, we work together to understand what matters, address current concerns, and make better-informed decisions about your health over time.Available virtually to clients throughout Florida.

PRIVATE HEALTH ADVISORY + IN-HOME CARE
The AXIOM advisory relationship with the addition of private, hands-on care delivered in your home.For clients on Florida’s First Coast, in-home care allows us to bring assessment, treatment, movement, recovery, and other appropriate clinical interventions directly into the ongoing health strategy.Available on a limited basis throughout select First Coast communities.
