Nice to meet you.

Wellness encompasses a healthy body, a sound mind and a tranquil spirit.
Enjoy the journey as you strive for wellness.

– Laurette Gagnon Beaulieu

After 26 years of practicing traditional family medicine, we started Living Proof MD as a specialized anti-aging and wellness practice. The practice has evolved over the past ten years, but our philosophy has remained true. We take time to understand each patient from the inside out. We develop a comprehensive plan for a lifestyle change that is at the core of prevention and wellness. Our mission is to provide an environment where we can design a wellness program to help you achieve optimal health. We invite you to join us on our journey to health, wellness, and vitality.
