Dr. Geoffrey Mire is a small-town family medicine practitioner who is using CrossFit to transform his life and the lives of his patients.
Several years ago, Dr. Mire, a former Ironman, found himself out of shape and unmotivated. When an affiliate opened in his town, his passion for fitness was reignited. He’s since become a CrossFit Level 1 trainer and now his passion for fitness with his patients.
Dr. Mire developed a pilot program within his local affiliate, CrossFit Acadiana, and recruited 12 senior patients considered medically sick with multiple co-morbid conditions with the goal of improving their health through lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
Dr. Mire completed his medical training at Louisiana State University. In addition to his private family practice with MDVIP, he is a Certified Medical Director and is medical director of a local nursing home and local home health. He volunteers as the team physician for his former high school and as an adjunct clinical professor for Tulane medical school. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Family Physicians, board member and former president of the Louisiana Geriatric Society, member of the Society for Post-Acute and Long Term Care Medicine, member of the American Academy of Sports Medicine, and member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
