Dr. Brian Hilands is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician whose interest in nutrition and wellness grew from both personal and professional experiences. Throughout his career, he has witnessed firsthand how chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic dysfunction are often influenced by nutrition, lifestyle, and other underlying factors.

While he values the importance of acute medical care, Dr. Hilands is passionate about helping patients create meaningful, lasting improvements in their health before disease develops or progresses. He believes that true health transformation comes from understanding and addressing the root contributors to illness rather than simply managing symptoms.

Dr. Hilands enjoys helping patients improve weight management, metabolic health, diabetes, cardiovascular health, digestive health, inflammation, and overall wellness. He has a particular interest in integrative and functional medicine, where he helps patients understand how nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and other lifestyle factors work together to influence long-term health and quality of life.

His philosophy is centered on education and empowerment, helping patients understand the "why" behind recommendations so they can make informed decisions and build sustainable habits that fit their lives. He believes that every patient is unique and that successful health plans should be personalized, practical, and realistic.

As both a physician and endurance athlete, Dr. Hilands understands the challenges of balancing health goals with the demands of a busy life. He works collaboratively with patients to develop strategies that are effective, sustainable, and tailored to their individual circumstances.

Dr. Hilands earned his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Penn State University, a Master of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology from Tulane University, and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his Emergency Medicine residency training at Inspira Health Network in New Jersey and is board certified in Emergency Medicine.

Outside of medicine, Brian enjoys running, cycling, and training for Ironman events. He is passionate about wilderness medicine, enjoys beekeeping and outdoor adventures, and loves spending time with his wife and family. His personal commitment to health, fitness, and lifelong learning continues to shape the way he cares for patients.
