Our Story: From Personal Wellness Journey to Community Impact
Vital Hearth was founded by Dr. Alistair Vance, a physician who experienced his own health transformation journey after turning 40. Recognizing a significant gap in accessible, evidence-based wellness services tailored for mature adults, especially within the dynamic Atlanta community, he envisioned a new kind of support system.
What began as a personalized medical practice focused on functional health quickly evolved. Driven by a passion to serve the unique health needs of Atlantans navigating mid-life and beyond, Vital Hearth blossomed into a comprehensive wellness hub, integrating functional nutrition, sleep optimization, proactive men's health strategies, and sustainable weight management.
