39. Wild Health | Dr. Julie Foucher

“I think everything happens for a reason, and we all have our unique path,” explains Dr. Julie Foucher, Physician with Wild Health and Former Crossfit Games Athlete. Always passionate about sports, Dr. Julie quickly fell in love with Crossfit while pursuing her medical degree. Understanding the correlation between fitness and well-being, Dr. Julie now practices precision medicine, helping others optimize their health.

At Wild Health clinic, Dr. Julie tries to factor in all the data about a person before creating a plan. Since every body is so distinct, it’s safe to say that different treatments work for different people. By factoring in each individual’s overall health results, Dr. Julie and her colleagues can personalize a plan that works for each person. The main focus is to find an optimal lifestyle that supports each client’s needs, rather than find a broad solution that only works for a few.

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Learn more about Crossfit’s influence on Dr. Julie’s journey, defining precision medicine, and how taking care of yourself equates to self-love.
