Born Out of Need
Hi, my name is Dr. Nick Wilson and I'm the founder of VitalityFirst. We started this company because we saw a growing need with our patients. I saw more and more patients were coming in with symptoms that were unexplainable from a traditional medical sense. Given my background in nutritional and natural health, I knew these patients needed a more customized approach to their wellness. We started doing very specific nutritional and toxicity testing and I was blown away with what I was seeing with their tests. Many patients who had been treating their symptoms using the traditional medical model had very real metabolic dysfunctions that could explain their symptoms. Some patients who were seemingly "healthy" on the outside were actually very toxic on the inside. It was when we started implementing protocols to help my patients detoxify and restore balance within the body that we realized how big of a missing link this was in healthcare. Too many people struggle with their health problems unnecessarily and I'm committed to helping.
What We Believe
Designed to Heal
We start with the premise that your body is programmed for health, not disease. Every physiological function inside of you is designed to keep you alive and healthy. Our unique approach begins with one simple question: “what’s interfering with your body’s ability to heal?”.
Root Cause Approach
From advanced nutrition and toxicity testing to our treatments to reduce your toxic load and reduce body inflammation, we are committed to providing true health solutions.
Discover Your Nutrient Deficiencies
Health is simple. Dysfunction and disease, however, create complications. Find out your specific metabolic profile and start the road to optimal health.
Uncover Sources of Toxicity
Presently underlying toxicity is the silent epidemic. You don't always know where you've been exposed. Many times, toxins accumulate over decades. Testing will help isolate and identify sources of dysfunction.
