Listen Later

My friend, and co-editor of Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications, Dr. Angeli Akey is today's guest. Did you know Vitamin D has been reclassified as a hormone? I sure didn't. DHEA, estogen, cortisol, testosterone we unpack all of that and more.

Angeli Maun Akey, MD, FACP, ABOIM/ ABIHM

Dr. Akey of FIRRIMup™ Doctors’ Good Medicine is board-certified in internal medicine and integrative and holistic medicine. In addition, she has trained in functional and regenerative medicine.


Dr. Akey has been in clinical practice for more than 25 years. She is also the founding medical director of North Florida Integrative Medicine, Ageless Medical Solutions, and formerly the Palm Beach Institute of Preventive Medicine.
Her interests in other healing traditions have led her to teach at the Florida School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Currently, she specializes in early-stage detection, delay, and reversal of chronic diseases.

Dr. Akey’s undergraduate experience was at the University of Florida, where she was accepted on five academic scholarships and a music scholarship. She was subsequently the youngest person ever admitted to the University of Florida’s College of Medicine in the Junior Honors Medical Program, where she graduated with high honors.

Dr. Akey did her internal medicine residency, taught as an assistant clinical professor, and served as a chief resident at Yale University. She mentors pre-health care professionals and medical students in her office to teach them the FIRRIMup™ model for whole-person wellness.

The FIRRIMup™ model is an approach to navigating and solving complex medical problems. This is described in detail in Dr. Akey’s book, “ ">Fine Tune Your Hormone Symphony” (2011).

She is the co-author of "Kick Covid-19 to the Curb" guidebook (2020) and co-editor of "Fascia, Function and Medical Applications" (2020).

Dr. Akey is a sought-after speaker at home and abroad where she has taught and presented the FIRRIMup™ model in the USA, Brazil, the Caribbean, Poland, Spain, Italy, and France. She currently lives with her family in her hometown of Gainesville, Florida, USA.
