Board-Certified Family Physician & Co-Founder
Dr. Falconi is a board-certified family medicine physician who completed a fellowship in emergency ultrasound medicine. Although her medical specialty is unique, her extensive background as an athlete paired with an ongoing personal pursuit of athleticism makes her role as a Physician Coach particularly special.
Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Falconi earned a full ride scholarship to play collegiate soccer at Virginia Military Institute. To sum up her achievements during this time, she was recently inducted into VMI’s Sports Hall of Fame as the second female to ever do so. After graduation, she joined the military and completed her medical school education, residency, and fellowship all while taking on new sports – competitive rugby, triathlons, and her current priority, Functional Fitness. Her formal education mixed with her passion for sport and experience as an athlete is what set the groundwork for what is now, Physician Coach.
Working as an Officer in the Army, Dr. Falconi had the opportunity to work with athletes daily – our soldiers. In a unique and collaborative environment, she worked side by side with strength coaches, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and orthopedic surgeons which provided a wide breadth of experience in what is now her specialization – Sports Medicine paired with the physiology of bioenergetics.
A New & Better Vision for Healthcare
Pulling from her experience as a multi-sport athlete, family medicine physician, and Functional Fitness coach, Dr. Falconi wanted to create a practice that provided specialty healthcare, accessible to everyone and not just the elite. Although sports medicine is a love of hers, it wasn’t until her own battle with a diagnosis of pre-diabetes that she dove deep into metabolic health and optimization and discovered this to be absolutely vital to all other avenues of health.
These experiences led to the launch of Physician Coach with the philosophy and protocol spurred by a new and better vision of healthcare — one that aims to reprogram medicine as we know it by using metabolic health as the foundation to which all levels of health are built.
Dr. Falconi cannot wait to work with you on training for metabolic efficiency, programming you for optimal bio-energetics to hit your health goals, and to treat or prevent chronic disease. To have a Physician Coach on your healthcare team means an overall improvement in performance, whatever you desire to perform.
Join Dr. Falconi on this endeavor to creating an effective and sustainable healthcare model that supports you on your journey to true optimization of health and performance.
