Barry Bialek, MD

Medical Director

Boulder, Colorado

Over the past 30 years, Dr B has practiced family and emergency medicine in the US, Canada, and Nepal. Although his practice is based in conventional Western medicine, Dr B understands that Western medicine is only one face of health and healing.

Dr B's career path began in 1974 as a US Peace Corps volunteer in the Himalayas of Nepal.

While teaching math and science in a remote village high school, Dr B began to recognize his dual passions: medicine and sustainable community development (SCD). While on the surface these appear unrelated, they are deeply connected. The human body is similar to the human community: each has a series of systems that function together well in order to be truly healthy.

While in Nepal, Dr B met his Guru, a disciple of Shiva, who trekked through the mountains of Nepal in search of truth and Himalayan medicinal herbs. One of these herbs was Ganja, aka Cannabis, and Dr B learned about it as medicine from a master.

After returning from Nepal, Dr B earned his MD degree at George Washington University before moving to Toronto, Canada, where he completed his residency and earned his board certification in Family and Community Medicine during 1987.

Dr B has been fortunate to pursue his second passion - SCD - across the globe. Though his SCD work has taken him to Israel, Native American reservations, China, and Ethiopia, his main focus always returns to Nepal, where his work has directly benefitted more than half a million people.

Norman Levin, MD

In Clinic Physician

Alma, Colorado

Norman Levin, MD has been in private clinical practice since 1978. From 1990 through 2016, he had a very busy and successful integrative medical practice in the Virginia countryside just west of Washington, DC.

Norm and his wife, Kate, made the decision to relocate to Colorado and began building their new home in Alma, Colorado. Norm returned to his Virginia practice once a month to continue seeing his patients until making the transition complete in 2016.

Now on a smaller scale in Alma, CO, but just as busy, Norm has the same type of practice that he had in Virginia, including IV nutritional therapies, oxidative treatments and detoxification.

Norm's caring and effective approach brought patients to Virginia from not only nearby states but as far away as England, Spain, France, Brazil, Russia, and Nigeria. Patients now travel to the mountains of Colorado to receive his care so that they can get well and improve their quality of life.
