    Our Team

    Alongside Dr. Cabell, a small core team works directly with every member, translating protocol into practice and keeping the clinic running with the same care we bring to the medicine.

    Health doesn't change until life does.

    My Story

    Ten years. One question.

    I came to health the way a lot of people do by needing to fix my own. As a former college athlete, I assumed I understood my body. But when my health started breaking down, I realized how little I actually knew about what was driving it, and what it would take to genuinely turn it around.

    That process changed everything. Once I found what worked for me, my first instinct was to help my family do the same. And then it kept spreading from there.

    Over the past decade, I've worked across the full spectrum of health support: as a personal trainer, a health coach, and a health advocate for families navigating complex, fragmented care. The clients and contexts changed, but the core challenge was always the same.

    Most people aren't lacking information. They have labs, physicians, specialists, wearables, and recommendations coming from every direction. What they're missing is someone who can take all of it, every data point, every opinion, every moving piece, and lay it against their actual life. Not a general protocol, but a plan built around this specific person, their specific circumstances, and the rhythm of life they're actually trying to live.

    To do that work well alongside a physician, I knew I needed more than practical experience. I pursued formal training in health coaching and completed a precision medicine curriculum that gave me the clinical fluency to work meaningfully with diagnostic data, and sit at the table with Dr. Cabell as a true partner in your care.

    At the end of the day, this work is about time. More of it, and better quality, with the people who matter most.

    What I Do Here

    Integration, not just information.

    I'm your primary point of contact between clinical visits. My job is to take Dr. Cabell's findings and translate them into a protocol that fits your actual life, then stay close as you implement it, tracking what's working and adjusting as things change.

    The goal isn't a perfect plan on paper. It's meaningful progress over years, and a relationship with your health that keeps getting stronger.

    Philosophy

    A system builder, not just a coach.

    Most health plans fail not because the science is wrong, but because they were never built around a real life. The right foods, the right exercise, the right labs. None of it holds if it doesn't fit how you actually live, what you value, and what you're trying to protect.

    My job is to build something that fits. To take everything we know about your body and hold it against everything I know about your life, and find the version of health that you can actually sustain. Not for ninety days. For the long run.

    The first face. The steady presence.

    Most people are a little nervous the first time they come to a cardiologist. Kristy knows that. She was once on that side of it herself. Her goal from the moment you walk in is simple: make sure you never feel that way here.

    Patients have told her for years that coming to this office feels less like a doctor's visit and more like seeing people who actually know them. That's not by accident. It's what Kristy builds, one visit at a time.

    Her Story

    A caregiver from the beginning.

    Kristy has been taking care of people her entire life. She started in pediatric critical care, spending nearly a decade at Vanderbilt Children's PICU, where she worked through emergency codes, supported families on the hardest days of their lives, and learned what it really means to be present for someone in a moment of fear.

    She came to Dr. Cabell's practice in 2012, and in the years since, she has seen his approach to medicine transform the lives of hundreds of patients. She experienced that transformation herself. When her own health was at a low point, Dr. Cabell's integrative approach gave her a path forward that conventional medicine hadn't. She recovered in ways she hadn't thought possible.

    That experience is why she shows up the way she does. She knows what it means to feel genuinely cared for, and she brings that into every interaction.

    What She Does Here

    The person who keeps everything running.

    When you come in for a visit, Kristy is your first point of contact. She handles vitals, reviews your history, goes over your medications, and makes sure Dr. Cabell has everything he needs before he walks in the room. She's also the one who follows up after, answers your calls, coordinates your labs and referrals, and stays close on anything that needs attention between visits.

    Some of Dr. Cabell's patients have been coming in for over a decade. Kristy knows them. She remembers what matters to them, what worries them, and what they need to hear. That continuity is something you can't manufacture, and it's one of the quiet reasons this practice feels different from the start.
