My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

MDVIP has enabled me to practice medicine in the manner patients deserve. The time I have available allows me to form very close bonds with my patients to help to facilitate a level of trust and comfort that is difficult to find in a traditional practice. As a cholesterol and blood pressure specialist, I tend to take a very aggressive preventive approach to medicine, which I believe will be extremely beneficial decades down the road. My patients appreciate my emphasis on wellness and my dedication to remaining on top of current medical information. The ability to positively impact so many lives is such a privilege; I really can't wait to get to work every day!

My MDVIP physician is Louis Malinow and he means the world to me. Dr. Lou is compassionate and cares about his patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lou’s since before he even became affiliated with MDVIP. My wife called on him professionally and she thinks the world of him and his amazing team. She strongly encouraged me to see Dr. Lou, knowing he would be a great advocate for me for the long haul. I’m an active hiker, climber and skier and want to continue these adventures as I take on retirement. Dr. Lou… See more

Lou will hate this. BUT
Lou Malinow saved my life. Without Lou ordering a second test for prostate cancer, I may not be alive today. My Urologist actually told me that Lou saved my life. I consider Lou to be a friend and part of my family. Lou is always there for me. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for Lou. He’s just the best.

Importance of Sleep

During sleep we (1) are completely vulnerable to predators; (2) cannot hunt for food; (3) cannot hunt for a mate or reproduce; and (4) cannot care for or protect our young.  For evolution to not have eliminated sleep on this basis means that it must be incredibly important.

Standard Cholesterol Screenings Have Limited Value

Many of my patients are concerned about heart disease -- and with good reason. It’s the leading cause of death in the United States, despite having effective tools to help detect and prevent it. 

What’s even more of a head-scratcher is that our understanding of heart disease… See more

Are Whole Grain Products Healthy?

You’re standing in the bread aisle of your supermarket trying to select a healthy bread to buy. Whole grain, whole wheat, multi-grain -- it’s confusing.  But the reality is, none of them are healthy. Based on the Plant Paradox by Steven Gundry, eating whole grains is like… See more
