Naveen Maliakkal, MD

Naveen Maliakkal is a board-certified internal medicine physician at Florida Low Carb DPC in Jacksonville. He chose the direct primary care model so he could serve each patient to the fullest, and his goal is for patients to reach a level of health where they know how to keep themselves well for life. His particular interest is in therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and nutritional ketosis as tools for improving patients' health.

He attended medical school at Florida Atlantic University and completed residency at Temple University Hospital.

At home, he lives out what he practices. With his wife and children, he raises grass-fed cows for raw A2/A2 milk and pasture-raised chickens fed no corn or soy, aiming for the lowest possible PUFA eggs. He's also drawn to Ben Patrick's ideas on training for longevity, athleticism, and reducing injury and chronic pain.
