Lifestyle and Performance Medicine · Minnetonka, MN

Your health today. Your wellbeing for the years ahead.

Physician-led lifestyle and performance medicine built around your symptoms, concerns, risks, and goals. We take time to understand you, choose the evaluation that fits your needs, and develop a practical plan to improve current health and reduce future risk.

Our philosophy

Good care starts with understanding you.

We begin by listening: how you feel, what's bothering you, what you're worried about, and what you want to achieve. Together, we review your history and existing results, then choose labs, physiological testing, imaging, or questionnaires to help identify leverage and impact points to best help optimize your care. Your physician connects the findings to identify what deserves attention and where changes may help most. From there, we build a plan around your life, using lifestyle changes or medications as appropriate, with optional ongoing care to support progress and adapt as your needs change.

Our approach
How it works

Three parts, shaped around you.

01

Understand your situation

A conversation about your symptoms, history, concerns, and goals, along with any records, results, or wearable data you already have.

02

Choose useful testing, build your plan

Only the evaluation that can answer meaningful questions. Your physician integrates the findings into clear priorities and a practical plan, lifestyle first, medication when appropriate.

03

Adjust with optional support

Some people want one consultation. Others choose ongoing care, scoped individually, to track progress and adapt the plan as life changes.

Who we help

Common reasons people come in.

  • Symptoms or concerns that have not been explained by previous workups
  • Results you have been given but want help understanding
  • A goal to improve energy, fitness, or performance
  • Family history or risk factors you want to address early

Lifestyle matters

Movement and exercise, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and alcohol, nicotine, and tobacco habits are the foundation. Medication is added when it fits your individual risk and goals.

I cannot recommend Dr. Davis and Archetype enough! He is informative and thorough. I highly prioritize my health and have always loved preventative medicine. They helped me obtain lab work to get a clear picture of my internal health and areas to focus on. Following the lab work, he quickly reached out and reviewed all of my levels highlighting different supplements or changes that help promote my best health. I will continue to use Archetype! Thank you for the wonderful care!

Ryan Svihel

I had a great experience at Archetype and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to take a deeper look at their overall health. I really enjoyed how thorough the entire process was, from going through different health and performance testing to learning more about things like body composition, cardiovascular health, and other important health markers. The team did a great job explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand and made the whole experience feel very personalized. It was really interesting getting a much clearer picture of my health beyond what you would normally get from a standard checkup. Everyone was knowledgeable, welcoming, and professional. I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely recommend Archetype!

Melissa Gies

Dr. Davis has been wonderful to work with. He took the time to thoroughly explain all of my lab results and made thoughtful, personalized recommendations for lifestyle changes and supplements. His approach to wellness feels realistic and sustainable, which made the process feel much less overwhelming.

His passion for health and wellness is contagious — I leave our appointments feeling energized, motivated, and excited to put his recommendations into practice. His bedside manner is exceptional: he's warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and genuinely enjoyable to work with.

I can't recommend Dr. Davis and Archetype Medicine highly enough. Give them a try!

I felt I was in “good hands” with the attentive, empathetic and thoroughly knowledgeable staff at Archetype Medicine. Dr. Ralph explained my labs in a way I could understand and easy to follow recommendations for improving my functional health target areas were also thoroughly explained. Highly recommend!

Mark Svihel

Archetype is a great company! I recently went through their entire program and highly recommend them. I'd urge everyone to invest in their health asap!
