Meet Garrett Butler

Garrett Butler is a dedicated physician serving rural West Virginia, balancing his roles as a husband, father, and healthcare provider. He holds undergraduate degrees in Physics from Johns Hopkins University and Molecular and Cell Biology from Towson University, followed by an MD and Family Medicine residency from West Virginia University School of Medicine. Professionally, he works as a hospitalist at Vandalia Health Davis Medical Center and Broaddus Hospital, while also caring for patients as an outpatient family physician at Broaddus Family Care.

In a recent episode of the Barbell Shrugged podcast, Garrett discussed his innovative approach to elder care, including the development of a homestead nursing home, and emphasized the importance of finding the right primary care physician. Despite his expertise in medicine, he recognized the need for a more precise, data-driven approach to optimizing his own health.

The Challenges

Like many busy professionals, Garrett faced several key health challenges:

Stress & Recovery Balance: Managing a demanding career and family life led to chronic stress and suboptimal recovery.
Sleep Optimization: Despite thinking he was sleeping well, data revealed inefficiencies in his rest and recovery cycles.
Metabolic & Hormonal Balance: Key biomarkers indicated areas for improvement in energy levels, inflammation, and hormonal health.
Personalized Health Insights: Traditional checkups weren’t providing the in-depth physiological data he needed to fine-tune his performance.
