“After twenty years in the ER, I grew tired of seeing the same patients with the same preventable conditions repeatedly, knowing that with the right care, many of these outcomes could be avoided, yet no one was taking the time to do it. I turned to James one day and said, ‘It’s time,’” Jay shares.

 

Together, James and Jay are committed to helping patients not only live life longer but live life well. They incorporate advanced medical technologies, preventative strategies and personalized support to improve their patients' quality of life. Their holistic approach focuses on treating the whole person rather than addressing symptoms after they appear.

 

“The goal of this practice is to help you maintain the ability to do the things you love for much longer, rather than simply being alive but unable to fully live,” says James.

 

Unlike conventional healthcare, which often waits for disease to manifest before taking action, Next Level Health focuses on prevention. The practice emphasizes key pillars of health, including nutrition, sleep, relationships, supplements, mindfulness, recovery and cutting-edge therapies like red light therapy and IV infusions.

 

“Our goal is simple: when you walk out, you should feel good—confident that we’re fully committed to your care. We’re not just here for a quick fix; we’re in it for the long haul, walking alongside you on your health journey as true advocates,” they explain. This is all part of their philosophy to help patients live life longer with vitality and purpose.

Patients undergo advanced genetic testing and comprehensive bloodwork at the first consultation, analyzing more than sixty-five biomarkers. These biomarkers provide measurable insights into the state of the body. The results are paired with a detailed conversation with James and Jay to review the patient’s history and current health status. About a month later, patients meet again to discuss their personalized health plan, which covers nutrition, exercise, recovery, supplements and more. From that point forward, the doctors serve as advocates and partners throughout the patient’s health journey.

 

“With our experience in both specialties across middle Tennessee, and being based here in Franklin, the biggest advantage we offer is our connection to top-tier specialists. We’re not starting from scratch. We’ve built relationships over the past twenty years. That means we can call or text and get immediate support, significantly reducing wait times and ensuring patients get accurate diagnoses quickly. Most of the time, it’s about offering reassurance—helping patients know they don’t have something serious like cancer. We handle the whole process to give them peace of mind,” they explain.

 

Next Level Health also integrates advanced cancer screening into its preventative care model. Traditional screenings typically cover only a few types of cancer—cervical, breast, prostate, lung, colorectal and skin. However, with new technology, the practice can now screen for more than fifty-five types of cancer, allowing patients to take control of their health before serious issues arise.

 

“We strive for early detection, so we can get patients on the right path before it’s too late,” they emphasize. This is just one more way Next Level Health helps you live life longer by prioritizing early intervention and a healthier future.
