Bridging evidence-based science with whole person care
Evidence-based science with whole person care
Dr. Michelle Loy is a Harvard- and Cornell-trained physician and Clinical Professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She helps women and families navigate the overwhelming world of health care with clarity, compassion, and practicality.
"My goal is to help my patients truly flourish by incorporating lifestyle medicine and evidence-based integrative medicine for long-term health, function, and vitality across all stages of life."
Modern medicine that meets you where you are at
Dr. Loy blends conventional medicine with science-backed integrative and lifestyle approaches to build personalized, health optimization plans for patients at every stage of life.
The eight pillars for long-term health
Culinary medicine and nutrition, movement, sleep, stress regulation, social connection, nature, purpose, and reduction of risky substances. These pillars of lifestyle medicine are grounded in the strongest research for long-term health.
Time-tested therapies, scientifically grounded
Botanicals and herbs, Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, yoga, qi gong, mind-body practices, and microbiome support informed by personalized testing, when appropriate, are used alongside conventional care, not instead of it.
Your care, connected
Thoughtful referrals and seamless coordination with your primary care doctor and specialists, so nothing falls through the cracks.
You won't be sold unvalidated trends or commercially driven hype. Just a personalized, curated plan grounded in credible science.

The doctor who went grocery shopping with her patients
After graduating from Harvard College and Cornell Medical School, Dr. Loy chose Pediatrics because she believed in prevention and the power of early, healthy foundations. In practice, she saw chronic disease begin early and realized families needed a more comprehensive model of care.
As a mother of five, she has navigated the very challenges her patients face: picky eating, sleep routines, managing different ages and medical needs, and the daily work of nurturing physical, emotional, and cognitive health.
That's why she founded Shop with a Doc: a free grocery tour program that makes healthy eating practical, joyful, and doable for real families.
You can grab the grocery list of common foods Dr. Loy purchases for her family here.
