MD, PhD \u2014 Founder & CEO
Dr. Margaret Chen is a Harvard Medical School graduate with a dual specialization in Internal Medicine and Integrative Health Sciences. After completing her residency at Johns Hopkins and a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, she pursued advanced studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, Ayurvedic medicine in Pune, India, and functional medicine in Zurich, Switzerland.
With over 28 years of clinical experience, Dr. Chen has authored four books on integrative medicine, published 47 peer-reviewed research papers, and been featured on CNN Health, NPR's Morning Edition, and The Today Show. She serves on the board of the American Integrative Medical Association and is a frequent keynote speaker at global health conferences.
Her greatest pride, however, is the 20,000+ patients who have regained their vitality under VivaWell's care. "Medicine should serve the whole person," she says. "That belief is the foundation of everything we do."
