Functional & Longevity Medicine Physician (MD/DO)

Full Time, Onsite | Douglasville, GA 30135 | Circadium at Nutrition Nest, by Preserve Life

About Preserve Life and Nutrition Nest

Just outside Atlanta, more than 1,200 acres of forest and three spring-fed lakes come together to form Preserve Life – a place where nature, architecture, and longevity unite to help people come alive again.

Nutrition Nest is the first point of access into Preserve Life: an experiential kitchen, organic market, and longevity clinic where nourishment, discovery, and clinical science meet. Here, chefs and nutrition experts bring the art of food as medicine to life through hands-on workshops, elegant tastings, and immersive culinary learning – every ingredient sourced with intention, much of it grown right on our property, from 60,000-square-foot greenhouses to our own heirloom fruit orchard.

We believe health is not just the absence of illness – it’s the presence of joy, energy, connection, and purpose. Nutrition sits at the heart of that mission. Guided by functional medicine and therapeutic nutrition, we’re building an integrated wellness destination unlike anything else in the world, and Nutrition Nest is where it begins.

Preserve Life is still growing, and that means every team member has the chance to shape something extraordinary. If you find purpose in caring for others, creating beautiful experiences, and contributing to a mission that genuinely improves lives, you’ll feel at home here.

Why We’re Hiring

Nutrition Nest opens in 2026, and this is a founding leadership role. We are building the longevity medicine practice from the ground up: the diagnostic strategy, the clinical governance model, the standards that infusion therapy and advanced modalities are held to, and the way providers and the clinical nutrition team work together. The physician we hire will set that standard, not inherit it.

About the Setting

Circadium is the longevity clinic inside Nutrition Nest, a hybrid of clinical practice and residential wellness campus. Guests come for memberships, multi day programs, and structured resets rather than for episodic sick visits, so appointments are long, panels are comprehensive, and follow up is real.

• Team structure: You will lead a founding clinical team that includes nurse practitioners, nursing and infusion staff, clinical nutrition, exercise physiology, health coaching, and wellness practitioners.
• Tools: We use Cerbo as our EHR, with an AI scribe supporting clinical sessions, alongside systems built in house for our integrated wellness model. You will have a voice in shaping the tools our team uses rather than adapting to someone else’s.
• Diagnostics and therapeutics: On campus diagnostics include comprehensive and functional lab panels, biological age testing, body composition and musculoskeletal scanning, and cellular and metabolic assessment, with therapeutic modalities including hyperbaric oxygen, whole body cryotherapy, IV therapy, and breathwork.
• Pace: Concierge and appointment based. As a founding hire, expect the energy of a launch, building alongside your team as guest volume and programming ramp up.
