About
Dr. Renae Mayer is a board-certified internist who trained at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Before medical school, she earned dual bachelor's degrees in Biology and Psychology from New Mexico State University. She also pursued graduate studies at ORU School of Medicine's Department of Pharmacology, where her master's research examined the endorphin system and her doctoral research explored the interaction between the central nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
Dr. Mayer spent approximately ten years in local hematology and oncology practices, providing benign hematology and follow-up oncology care. That work deepened her understanding of how lifestyle factors shape disease risk, motivating her to train in lifestyle medicine and complete the Structural Acupuncture for Physicians course at Harvard University. She founded LifeStyle Medicine, Inc. in May 2016 to bring that full range of expertise to a concierge setting. Her clinical passions include functional and metabolic medicine, gut-brain health, hormone replacement therapy, autoimmune conditions, depression and mood disorders, chronic pain, fatigue, sleep, and weight management. She sees a broad patient population, including younger adults in their twenties who seek proactive prevention.
