Dr. Olsen has been practicing Family Medicine at Intermountain Medical Clinic since 2012. He sees patients of all ages, from pediatric to geriatric.  Holistic care is a major theme of his practice.  His initial interest in medicine stemmed from experiences as a patient.  Excellent doctors at Primary Children’s Medical Center cured his childhood cancer, diagnosed at age 6.  At age 20, a broken bone led to an emergency room visit where the care was lack-luster.  These experiences help him see medicine from both the patient and doctor point of view.

After developing an auto-immune illness in 2017 he became driven to understand the root cause of his auto-immune illness to prevent recurrence or development of new auto-immune conditions.  His research led him to the common pathway of inflammation in development of most chronic diseases and to the field of lifestyle medicine which focuses on reduction of chronic inflammation through six pillars of health as outlined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.  These pillars are healthy eating with a whole food plant-predominant diet, regular physical activity, sleep optimization, stress management, positive social connections, and avoidance of risky substances like tobacco, alcohol, and opioids.

These lifestyle pillars have been shown in published research to prevent, improve, or reverse the following conditions:

The opposite is also true.  Poor adherence to these lifestyle principles is in large part driving the rapid increase in and progression of these same chronic illnesses through promotion of chronic inflammation.

Practicing Family Medicine with a focus on lifestyle interventions, Dr. Olsen works with patients to understand the root causes of their medical problems and empowers them with information that can transform illness and debility into health, vitality, and peak human performance.  He is accepting new patients in Pocatello and offers telehealth appointments anywhere in Idaho.
