The Opare’s recognize the power of healthy eating and lifestyle to prevent or reverse the diseases that plague our society. They are dedicated to sharing this message and to providing the tools and support people need to make healthier lifestyle choices. This commitment to health education extends to the wider community through public speaking, community events, blogs, newsletters and social media. Dr. Opare’s first book, "The Rule Book and Users Guide To Health Living" is due out this spring.

Dr. Opare earned his BS in Food Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of California Berkeley, MD at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine and CA at the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Opare is a pioneer in the natural integrative medicine field. He is a long-term vegan and a more recent living food lifestyle practitioner and advocate. He has practiced Eastern and Western Medicine for more than a quarter century. Opare has been fascinated with the human organisms ability if properly cared for, to right itself from the vast majority of illness from which we suffer.

He guides his patients in diet and lifestyle changes that reverses and frees them from serious life threatening conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerotic vascular disease, and impotence. He developed the Opare Method™, which combines acupuncture and osteopathic manual medicine in the treatment of sports and occupational conditions of the neck, back, wrists, ankles and feet.
