    From "Incurable" To Possibility Rethinking Medicine With Dr. Aaron Hartman

As a board-certified physician, clinical researcher, and founder of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine, Dr. Hartman's path took a profound turn after adopting his daughter, Anna, who was diagnosed with severe neurological injury and cerebral palsy and labeled "incurable."

He also served as a Major in the U.S. Air Force, where he oversaw medical clinics in both the United States and Europe and received additional training in cardiology, dermatology, and nuclear and biological warfare medicine. Throughout his career, Dr. Hartman has participated in more than 70 clinical trials, published research including work in The Lancet, and cared for patients across four continents in more than 100,000 clinical encounters. He is triple board-certified, with advanced credentials in integrative, functional, metabolic, regenerative, and anti-aging medicine, and he previously served as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University.
