My Journey to
Better Health
At 17, Derek Timbs became a father, and by 19, he was a certified respiratory therapy technician working in a small-town hospital. Over the years, balancing family and education led to neglecting his health, resulting in a weight of 305 pounds at 5’10”. Feeling physically and mentally unwell, Derek decided to take control at 21.
With limited options in the mid-90s, Derek used phentermine to curb his appetite, adopted a restrictive diet, and committed to daily exercise. In just 6 months, he lost 100 pounds, reaching 205 pounds. This transformation sparked a lifelong dedication to health and fitness, shaping his career in preventative medicine

A Path to Helping Others
In 2000, Derek earned his bachelor’s degree in nursing and worked in emergency rooms while pursuing his master’s as a family nurse practitioner (FNP), which he completed in 2005. After 3 years in family practice, his passion for preventative medicine led him to occupational medicine, where he spent 16 years establishing medical programs nationwide.
In 2024, Derek partnered with Dr. Matthew Higgs, a board-certified sports medicine physician, to focus on obesity and hormone imbalances. Their mission is to empower patients to achieve better health and live longer, more productive lives through personalized care.
