Apex Wellness seeks to provide individualized, patient centered and industry leading wellness, through hormone, health and lifestyle optimization – our goal is to improve the whole life of the patient. We at Apex feel that the current medical model does not seek to optimize patient health, and is primarily of benefit only when a patient is “sick.” Here at Apex Wellness, our initiative is to change that model from one promoting “sick care” to a model that improves the overall health state through flexible, Telehealth administered hormone optimization and wellness coaching.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Christopher Russell | PA-C

Provider, Cofounder

HEY THERE, IM CHRIS RUSSELL AND I APPRECIATE YOU CHOOSING US AS YOUR PARTNER IN HEALTH. Chris is a Physician Assistant, who earned his Bachelors of Science at Middle Tennessee State University and his Masters of Physician Assistant Studies from Bethel University. Chris served in the United States Marine Corps honorably for 6 years before entering into his academic studies. He has an extensive background in medicine ranging from hormone replacement and optimization, community health, primary care, urgent care, and the emergency room. Chris received his hormone replacement training under a national hormone therapy provider, but felt the protocols could be further improved to optimize men’s performance and lifestyle even more. He has seen first hand that in order to truly optimize men’s performance you have to go beyond just the lab values. You must have a working dynamic relationship with patients, evaluating how they are actually feeling and not just what the lab values show. His goal is to provide a complete package through telemedicine to optimize performance and overall health. He feels he can deliver this conveniently, while eliminating the need for weekly clinic visits. Chris lives in Georgia with his wife, son, and daughter. In his spare time he spends time playing with his kids, working out, and enjoying the outdoors.

HELLO I AM BEN STRINGER, I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW EACH OF YOU. Ben completed undergraduate training at Tennessee Tech, and completed his masters degree at University of Alabama in Huntsville while working in the emergency department. Ben has an extensive background in hormone replacement therapy, working in the field since becoming an NP in 2016. Trained under a national hormone therapy provider, he appreciates the patient satisfaction that comes with hormone therapy. He has also spent time with Urology, Emergency Medicine and General/Bariatric Surgery. Overall, he feels this gives him a well rounded background. He feels that telemedicine will be the new frontier in healthcare, and is excited to provide hormone optimization via this approach. When not practicing medicine, Ben enjoys spending time on the farm with his wife, daughter and dog. He is an avid outdoorsman, spending as much time as he can in the woods.
