Wayne Stephen Dysinger, MD, MPH

Dr. Wayne Dysinger is Chief Medical Officer of Blue Zones Health. Dr. Dysinger brings decades of leadership in evidence-based lifestyle medicine together with the Blue Zones principles to deliver primary care through an innovative economic model for employers and government payers. Dr. Dysinger was previously Chair of the Preventive Medicine Department at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was inspired by the original longevity studies. From there, he decided to further pursue the study of lifestyle medicine and its ability to treat and reverse chronic disease. This eventually led to his past positions as president of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and founding Board Chair of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. In 2015, Dr. Dysinger left academia to focus on a lifestyle medicine-based private practice and demonstrate how to achieve the IHI Triple Aim through a new value-based care economic model. Since then, he’s leading more than 200 primary care physicians in Southern California to adopt this approach of practicing medicine and continues in this mission at Blue Zones Health. As an international voice on the transformational power of lifestyle medicine, Dr. Dysinger hopes to make access to this type of care possible for all by empowering physicians to become credentialed by the ACLM and discovering opportunities through Blue Zones Health.
