Dr. Matthew Calkins earned his undergraduate degree in Physics before completing medical school at the University of Florida and residency training at Wake Forest School of Medicine.
He currently practices full-time in urgent care and leads a pilot metabolic health clinic for One Health patients. His clinical focus is on improving metabolic health through low-carbohydrate ketogenic nutrition, exercise, sleep optimization, and stress reduction. Through these lifestyle-based interventions, he works with patients to improve weight management, blood sugar control, and blood pressure, while reducing reliance on medications when appropriate.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Calkins enjoys hiking, strength training, and spending time with his family.
