Dr. Janice WalkerMD, DABFM, DipABLM

Dr. Walker treats a wide range of conditions common in adult women, with particular depth in perimenopause, prediabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, obesity, sleep disorders, chronic disease, and stress-related conditions. She approaches each condition by identifying root causes rather than managing symptoms in isolation. Her training in both Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine gives her a broad clinical base alongside a strong preventive lens.

Yes. Dr. Janice Walker holds dual board certification. She is board certified in Family Medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine (DABFM) and holds a Diplomate credential from the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (DipABLM). She also holds certification as an American College of Lifestyle Medicine Certified Professional and a Plantrician Provider designation.

Dr. Walker takes a root-cause approach to chronic disease. Rather than managing numbers on a lab report, she works to understand the underlying drivers, including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and metabolic function. She uses this framework to build personalized health plans that target the source of the problem, not just the symptom.

Yes. In 2025, Dr. Walker reversed her own prediabetes and high cholesterol through lifestyle medicine without medication. She reset intentionally across all pillars of lifestyle medicine, including sleep, movement, whole-food plant-predominant nutrition, stress management, and connection. Her cholesterol and A1c both returned to normal within months. That experience deepened her clinical conviction and directly shaped how she practices today.

Dr. Walker primarily sees adult women, with a particular focus on professional and high-performing women over 40. Her patient population often includes women managing perimenopause, metabolic changes, chronic conditions, fatigue, and weight-related concerns. She also sees patients who want a proactive, prevention-first approach rather than reactive care.

Nutrition is central to Dr. Walker's clinical approach. She integrates whole-food plant-predominant nutrition guidance into her Lifestyle DPC and Hybrid and Coaching DPC tiers. She also offers personalized whole-food plant-based meal planning and a free 30-day meal plan through her practice. She is a credentialed Plantrician Provider, reflecting formal training in plant-based nutrition.

Yes. Her Hybrid and Coaching DPC tier combines medical oversight with coaching-style visits, structured accountability, and monthly personalized action plans. This tier suits patients who want both clinical management and a more guided, goal-oriented approach to behavior change. Dr. Walker integrates medical expertise and coaching principles into a single, coordinated model of care.

Dr. Walker spent over 20 years in clinical practice and consistently saw women over 40 navigating perimenopause, metabolic changes, and chronic conditions without receiving the depth of attention those issues require. Her own health experience in 2025 reinforced her understanding of how profoundly lifestyle factors affect this stage of life. She built Living Healthfully Now DPC specifically to serve these women with the time and clinical focus they deserve.
