Meet Dr. Gina Casian

  Hi! I’m Dr. Gina Casian and I founded Choose Healthy as a new approach to wellness that eliminates the deficiencies burdening our current healthcare system. As a patient myself, I’ve experienced stressful appointment processes, delayed access to care, rushed medical visits, and insurance denials for necessary procedures and treatment. Patient care should once again become the main priority of the healthcare system, and I intend to provide that with Choose Healthy. 

  My journey into medicine was shaped by an adverse childhood event that sprout my passion for medicine. At 13, I lost my father to lung cancer, an experience that left me determined to understand the human body and prevent such suffering. This personal loss drove me to discover my calling in exploring the miraculous universe of human physiology, diagnosing medical conditions, and treating a wide range of adult health issues. For nearly 20 years, I’ve served under-served communities, learning profound lessons that no other medical setting could have taught me. Those lessons fuel my commitment to putting patient care first, delivering evidence-based treatments, and building strong, professional relationships through comprehensive and extensive one to two hour visits. I practice a balanced fusion of 'What is the matter with you?' and 'What matters to you?'. While I deeply explore, understand, and address biological processes such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation, my true focus is empowering my patients to be active participants in their care. I advocate for the power of choice and informed decision making as key strategies to enhance daily quality of life and  add self-sufficient years to our one and only precious life. I am a strong believer in healthy aging. An increased life span should always be built on a foundation of optimal health span. 

  I embrace change as an opportunity for growth. Inspired by homeostasis as a key principle in medicine, I prioritize cultivating harmony in all aspects of my life. Being a mother is my most cherished role and greatest joy. I am dedicated to nurturing meaningful quality time with my husband and son, by enjoying activities like hiking and exploring health topics together. 


  Reading, yoga, pilates, meditation, and running are personal passions that complement my professional focus on well-being. Regularly, I pause and find rejuvenation in silence, stillness and solitude surrounded by nature, which restore balance to my  mind, body, and soul.

  The science of medicine is my passion, but protecting optimal mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being is my everyday purpose. I’m here to support you on your wellness journey, helping you embrace your right to a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled life.
