Dr. Joshua Fleming has been interested in health and wellness from a young age. Half-way through his graduate degree in exercise science, he realized he could have a much greater impact on the wellbeing of society as a physician. Throughout medical school and during his residency in Family Medicine, he saw, more than ever before, the desperate need for more effective treatment strategies addressing mental health disorders and chronic lifestyle-related diseases. For this reason, he is completing his fellowship in anxiety, depression, and lifestyle medicine with Dr. Nedley while also completing the requirements for board certification as a Lifestyle Medicine Intensivist. When he is not working, Dr. Fleming enjoys running, hiking, and pretty much anything in the great outdoors. His greatest joys are studying the Bible with those who have never experienced its beauty, and spending quality time with his beautiful wife, Stephanie.
