The Institute for Lifestyle, Preventive and Family Medicine

The Institute for Lifestyle, Preventive and Family Medicine is a private outpatient healthcare clinic in Lufkin, Texas led by Charles A. Evans, MD, PhD. The practice focuses on lifestyle medicine, preventive care, family medicine, and integrative medicine, with services that include nutrition and weight-management support, primary care, allergy testing and treatment, hormone-related services, sleep-apnea care, and selected cash-pay wellness or men's health offerings. Public materials indicate the clinic has been building its patient base since 2014 and employs a small multidisciplinary team that includes physician and nurse-practitioner support, as well as coaches and nutritionists oriented toward plant-based eating. It appears to be a patient-care medical practice rather than a biotech, pharma, or drug-development company.
