Dr. Patrice's Bio
Dr. Patrice High, founder and CEO of NuEmpowerment Health, is a distinguished physician with over 20 years of primary care experience. Dual board-certified in Family Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, she specializes in empowering women to prevent, improve, and, in many cases, reverse chronic diseases. Her expertise spans conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, early heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and more. Dr. Patrice utilizes evidence-based lifestyle interventions to help women achieve optimal health outcomes—not only for themselves but also for their families.​
​
Having personally transformed her own health using these principles, Dr. Patrice recognizes the limitations of the conventional Western medical model, which often prioritizes treatment over prevention. She believes that chronic illness is not a result of “bad genes” but can be addressed through sustainable lifestyle changes that enable women to thrive. By embracing these practices, Dr. Patrice achieved sustainable weight loss and experienced profound personal growth as a physician, wife, mother, and individual.
​
Her greatest passion is coaching women to prevent disease, reclaim their health, and enhance both the quality and quantity of their lives—helping them thrive, not just survive.
