Courtney Contreras, MPAS

Courtney Contreras founded VitaLife Longevity Medicine in Show Low after years in emergency medicine and surgery left her wanting something different for patients in the White Mountains. She had grown tired of watching people get squeezed into ten-minute visits and handed a prescription that masked symptoms rather than addressing what was actually going on.

At VitaLife, she takes a more connected approach. Patients can text her when something feels off, and she is the kind of provider who remembers what was discussed at the last visit rather than starting from scratch each time. Contreras looks at the whole picture, tracing how hormones, energy, sleep, and weight all tie together instead of treating each one in isolation.
