DR. DANTE PAREDES, DO
Texas Licensed Physician | Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
How He Practices What He Preaches:
Dr. Paredes has trained in Filipino Martial Arts and StrongFirst kettlebell work since 2009. He teaches martial arts in Dallas, serves as a team physician, and trains daily—balancing his own programs and nutrition with family life.
His Story:
As both a martial artist and clinician, Dr. Paredes became known for helping his students and patients stay strong, mobile, and out of chronic disease. What began as “how do I prevent diabetes?” evolved into “how do I return to training after a heart attack?” He even kept kettlebells and pull-up bars in his old practice so patients could learn how to move again.
What Drives Him:
Helping people break free from the limits of chronic disease.
DR. JAMES ASTON
Texas Licensed Physician | Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
How He Practices What He Preaches:
Dr. Aston trains to stay physically competent—lifting heavy, using kettlebells and barbells, doing bodyweight work, and mixing in kickboxing and recreational sports. His military background reinforced the importance of strength and fitness, and he continues to train in ways that help his body move well and recover quickly.
His Story:
Throughout his adult life, Dr. Aston has wrestled with his weight. Medical school and residency pushed that struggle even further, but he realized he couldn’t ask patients to follow lifestyle advice he wasn’t following himself. By adjusting his nutrition—both what he ate and when—he saw meaningful results and felt a renewed sense of alignment between his life and his medical practice.
What Drives Him:
Seeing patients achieve results they once thought weren’t possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care means you pay your doctor directly instead of going through insurance. This lets us spend real time with you (1-hour appointments instead of 15 minutes), respond to your texts and calls, and focus on your health instead of insurance paperwork. You keep your regular insurance for emergencies and specialists, but use us for everything else.
What's the difference between this and going to my regular doctor?
Your regular doctor has 15 minutes to see you, focuses on managing symptoms with medications, and sees 2,000+ patients. We spend a full hour with you, focus on finding and fixing root causes, and limit our practice to 150-250 patients per doctor so we can actually know you. We also combine medical expertise with nutrition and fitness coaching—something traditional doctors can’t or don’t do.
How is this different from weight loss clinics?
If you want real results, yes—but we make it as simple as possible. We’re not asking you to eat kale salads and run marathons. We help you make sustainable changes to your training, nutrition, and daily habits that actually fit your life. The goal is progress, not perfection, and we guide you through it step by step.
Do I have to change my lifestyle?
We’re not a weight loss clinic—we’re a performance clinic. Weight loss clinics usually hand out a medication and hope for the best. We focus on building a body that performs: optimizing your metabolism, hormones, training, recovery, and nutrition together. If medication helps, we use it strategically, but it’s never the whole plan. And unlike quick-fix clinics, you get ongoing doctor access and personalized guidance.
Can you actually help with multiple health issues at once?
Absolutely—and in fact, we thrive on complexity. Most health issues are connected, so we look at your hormones, metabolism, training, nutrition, and symptoms as one system instead of isolating each problem. If we identify something that genuinely requires a specialist, we’ll refer you and coordinate care so your entire medical team is aligned and working together.

We’re actual licensed physicians, not coaches or nutritionists pretending to be doctors. We can prescribe medications, order lab work, and manage complex health conditions—not just give you a meal plan. Plus, our doctors actually live the lifestyle they recommend. You’re not getting health advice from someone who’s out of shape or doesn’t practice what they preach.
etabolism, training, nutrition, and symptoms as one system instead of isolating each problem. If we identify something that genuinely requires a specialist, we’ll refer you and coordinate care so your entire medical team is aligned and working together.
Is this just another expensive health program?
At $150/month for unlimited access to a doctor, this costs less than most people spend on their gym membership and supplement stack. Unlike expensive functional medicine programs that cost $5,000-$10,000 upfront, we’re month-to-month with no contracts. You pay for medical expertise, direct access, and ongoing support.
But I already pay for insurance - why would I pay extra for this?
Insurance and the traditional medical system only pay for treating problems after they happen, not for preventing them in the first place. They’ll cover your diabetes medication but not the work to reverse your insulin resistance. They’ll pay for heart surgery but not the comprehensive approach to prevent heart disease. We focus on keeping you healthy so you don’t need expensive treatments later. Think of it as an investment in staying out of the medical system instead of just managing your decline through it.
Do you only work with people in Texas?
Currently, yes. Our doctors are licensed in Texas, so we can only provide medical care to Texas residents. We’re working on expanding to other states, but for now we’re focused on providing the best possible care to Texans who are tired of the traditional medical system.
