About
Medical Compass MD is an integrative and lifestyle medicine practice led by Dr. David Dunaief, an internist with extensive additional training in nutrition and lifestyle modification. The practice serves patients seeking to reverse, treat, and prevent chronic disease through a combination of conventional medicine and lifestyle interventions. Dr. Dunaief works with patients managing a wide range of conditions including autoimmune disorders, diabetes, heart disease, migraines, osteoporosis, and long COVID, among many others.
The practice operates from a philosophy that disease often results from modifiable lifestyle factors and can be addressed by connecting medical care with changes in nutrition, physical fitness, and stress management. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management or medication, the approach aims to identify and treat underlying causes of illness. Dr. Dunaief emphasizes a plant-based, nutrient-dense whole foods approach called the LIFE diet and customizes individual treatment plans based on each patient's unique starting point, goals, and circumstances. The practice does not sell supplements or products and does not seek to replace patients' existing physicians but rather coordinates care alongside their primary care doctors and specialists.
Services and treatment focus areas include:
• Integrative medicine and functional medicine consultations • Preventive medicine and chronic disease management • Nutritional medicine and dietary counseling based on the LIFE diet approach • Treatment of autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal conditions • Management of migraines, sleep disorders, and neurological conditions • Comprehensive appointments including physical exams, body composition analysis, and laboratory review • Medication management and optimization as patients implement lifestyle changes • Stress management and fitness guidance
