About Dr. Luce

W. David Luce, M.D., P.C. is a Board Certified Internist in private practice in Colorado. He is recognized as a medical innovator, educator, public health advocate, and a leader in the integration of evidence-based Western medicine with complimentary therapies.

Educated at Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale, Dr. Luce has over 20 years experience designing and implementing innovative treatment programs that restore health and wellness to his patients. He is a passionate proponent for the use of Western science, not only to prevent disease, but also to define clinical health by the presence of optimal laboratory values and their relationships.

His medical practice uses scientific laboratory technology to define and treat health imbalances before they mature into disease. Dr. Luce pinpoints dysfunctions in human physiology by measuring imbalances in hormones, digestion, acid stress, inflammation, calcium metabolism, oxidative stress, connective tissue strength, and protein metabolism. He uncovers specific deficiencies in amino acids, fatty acids, trace elements, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. He finds footprints of toxins within the body including petrochemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, and organic solvents. This unique approach applies science as the critical component in delivering personalized health maintenance to his patients.

Dr. Luce’s early career included working in Cambodian refugee camps and serving as the Medical Director of a project on chemical warfare (Yellow Rain) in southeast Asia. He also directed the AIDS program for the New Jersey State Department of Health. He co-founded one of the first holistic health centers in the Rocky Mountain States, and subsequently has developed a thriving medical practice and unique business model that attracts patients from across the United States.

He has served on the Board of Directors of the American Holistic Medical Association, and was the on-air physician for the widely acclaimed TV series “Alternative Medicine.” He has served on the Scientific Council of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists. Dr. Luce is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist and holds a diploma in Advanced Nutritional Laboratory Analysis.
