Passions typically result from transformative experiences in ones life.
Exemplifying this is Dr. Anthony Lyssy ’s personal struggles with various barriers to wellness before finally breaking through and achieving a sense of optimal health. Like many individuals who have experienced improved health, he developed a passion for personal wellness and a desire to help others optimize themselves. His personal journey, combined with a true desire to lead others to sharpen their well-being was the driving force behind the creation of Dr. Lyssy Wellness.
After graduation from The University of Texas at Austin with an honors biology degree, he chose to continue his medical training at The University of North Texas Health Science Center, in Fort Worth, Texas where he earned his medical degree. After board certification in primary care/family medicine at Methodist Hospital in Dallas, his passion for furthering his medical knowledge, led him through advanced arteriology training to diagnose, treat, and prevent our nation's number one killer, cardiovascular disease. Further functional and integrative medical training and experience helped shape the current focus of his practice in proactive healthcare.
With a burning passion for sports and wellness, Dr. Lyssy has developed strategic partnerships in both the professional and amateur sports world. Whether working as a medical advocate or consultant, offering advanced wellness protocols to those in search of improved performance, or providing professional golf medical support, Dr. Lyssy has combined his 2 greatest passions and help elevate the health of athletes around the world.
The practice is designed differently than traditional primary care offices and the focus has shifted to a proactive, rather than reactive approach to healthcare. Instead of treating patients with multiple medications for their ailments, a functional approach is taken to identify why specific ailments are present and address the upstream problem rather than quick downstream fixes. A wellness membership has been created as a retainer based program providing direct access to Dr. Lyssy as your general medical advocate to handle all health issues when needed. As an advanced primary care practitioner Dr. Lyssy helps to optimize health by creating customized plans to achieve mutually identified healthcare goals while being available for all basic urgent issues as well.
The wellness program was strategically created to focuses in-depth on the most important facets of health and longevity. Using evidence based methods, cardiovascular health is addressed with the latest and most efficacious methods of risk and disease detection with labs and arterial scans. From a functional wellness standpoint, personalized data is used to optimize hormones and inflammation with an anti-aging approach to nutrition and supplementation. Finally, we use food sensitivity testing to create a more personalized nutritional approach to keep you fit, healthy, and free of chronic disease down the road. The wellness membership include all initial testing and interpretation along with management of the identified issues and any urgent medical needs as well. Dr. Lyssy also will work to coordinate the best specialists in town as needed and oversee any hospitalist and emergency room interactions if needed at any medical facility.
This type of care is certainly not for everyone and because of this, Dr. Lyssy is rather selective with his clients as he would like someone invested in their future and committed to implement the protocols put in place for optimal health. By limiting the practice volume to a fraction of that of a traditional practice, Dr. Lyssy can continue to offer the highest level of care and accessibility for ideal health outcomes.
