The future of medicine is not just treating disease symptoms but also disease prevention in which we work to identify the underlying causes and develop pre-emptive strategies to live a happier and healthier life (Medicine 3.0 vs. Medicine 2.0, as described by Peter Attia, M.D., in his book Outlived, 2023.) This focus is the driving principle of my psychiatry practice, lifestyle, and continuing research and education. I’m eager to work with clients who genuinely care about heading off the underlying causes of some of the most troubling illnesses of our time including dementias like Alzheimer’s disease.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The most frequent comment I receive from my new clients is, "This is the first time I feel like a medical provider is listening and not judging me." My goal is always to meet the client where they are. This is why each client is asked to complete a comprehensive assessment packet which I use along with good old fashion conversation to help me gain an understanding of their health goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The greatest compliment I can receive from a client is when they refer their family and friends. When I ask the new clients why they chose to come see me they often say, "I was told you really care about your clients and you never stop learning." I take pride in the success of people in my care and the feedback they provide about their health improvements. Patients routinely tell me how much they appreciate the time I take getting to know them and their issues and concerns. Active listening is followed up with data collection and a solid treatment plan that is flexible and individualized to meet their goals and provide optimum results. I want my clients to consider me a partner on their journey to whole-body health.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to improve their overall health and well-being. Ideally, my clients are looking for healthy solutions that include disease avoidance. I prefer working with clients who actively participate in their treatment planning to restore their health. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I focus on the individual and treat the whole body rather than a collection of organs and systems.

Dr. Hurd is wonderful. Treats the whole person, not just symptoms.

Always a pleasure meeting with Dr. Hurd. Asks the right questions to understand his patients concerns and discusses things in ways that are easy to understand. If you're looking for that personal touch, it just make sense to have someone like him on your side! Thanks Dr. Hurd!

I could say this over and over again, Carl is one of the best providers I’ve seen and have been able to work with. He doesn’t just look at one symptom, he looks at everything and actually listens to what you’re saying. He provides you with tons of resources and education on the “why” you should/shouldn’t take something or not take something. If you’re looking for a well rounded and knowledgeable provider, this is your guy!!
