About Dr. Zinni
Phillip Zinni III, DO, FAOASM, HMD, MS, ATC
Medical Director and Co-Founder of Luke 9:2 Solutions. His goal: to teach, to heal, to serve.
Philosophy and medical approach
His goal: to teach, to heal, to serve. Always to combine the commitment of the early-20th-century doctor with 21st-century functional, integrative, sports, medical, regenerative and technological advances. His approach focuses on listening and uncovering the root cause of health issues, enhancing functionality, reducing co-morbidities and restoring health; ultimately improving his guests’ quality of life and activity levels. (Dr. Zinni refers to his patients as “guests”, so all can experience a warm, comfortable encounter.) He calls this concept “Square The Curve™” of the guests’ quality of life span.
As both an osteopathic and a homeopathic physician, he practices integrative functional medicine, using a blend of traditional and complementary or alternative treatments to provide effective care. With decades of experience, he identifies the lifelong issues contributing to a person’s unwellness or illness, “Dis-Ease”. His practice is deeply rooted in his faith, searching for the mind-heart-spirit and brain-body connection, as he aims to genuinely help his guests.
Dr. Zinni specializes in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), complementary, age-management and integrative medicine. He has performed thousands of procedures and consultations for a wide variety of guests: from weekend warriors to professional athletes, soccer moms to grandparents, and blue-collar workers to actors.
