The fundament journey
Bridging Medicine and Wellness for a Healthier Future
Our Mission
To deliver physician-led, evidence-based medical care while integrating proven wellness practices. Through personalized solutions, we support prevention, treatment, and lifelong well-being — helping patients build strength, resilience, and lasting health.
How We Started
Dr. Fairfax began her medical career in Geriatrics and Internal Medicine. Over time, she recognized the need for a shift in how we approach aging — prioritizing vitality, strength, and quality of life, not just longevity.
As medical science advanced, it became increasingly clear that the most pressing drivers of long-term health were metabolic health and sarcopenia — the gradual loss of muscle that limits strength, independence, and resilience as we age.
This insight led Dr. Fairfax to embrace a proactive, preventative model of care — one designed to extend healthspan, not merely lifespan.
Aging with Strength, Energy, and Purpose
Dr. Fairfax believes aging should be experienced with strength, vitality, and the freedom to keep doing what we love.
Fundament Health was created to combine the precision of medical science with integrative, evidence-based wellness — supporting balance, resilience, and long-term well-being.
We focus on prevention, education, and personalized care that empowers individuals to live fully, at every stage of life.

Dr. Juliet Fairfax is more than a physician—she is a passionate advocate for redefining how we age. With training in Family Medicine and Geriatrics, her early career centered on caring for older adults and managing complex chronic conditions. Over time, this work revealed a critical truth: while modern medicine excels at keeping people alive, it often falls short in preserving strength, independence, and quality of life.
Through her ongoing work in long-term care, Dr. Fairfax has witnessed firsthand the long-term consequences of both preventative and reactive healthcare. These experiences shaped her belief that today’s most pressing “primary care” issues are metabolic health and the prevention of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)—key determinants of mobility, independence, and longevity.
Fundament Health was created to address this gap. As a sister enterprise to CP Wellness, the clinic blends excellent medical care with integrative, science-backed wellness therapies. In addition to treating acute and chronic medical issues, Dr. Fairfax focuses on optimizing underlying lifestyle and physiological factors to support long-term healthspan—not just lifespan.
While the medical field can be cautious in adopting emerging wellness technologies, Dr. Fairfax remains committed to using every proven, evidence-based tool available. Her approach emphasizes early intervention, strength preservation, and proactive care—helping patients remain active, capable, and confident as they age.
Her philosophy is simple: we would all rather be old and healthy than old and sick. At Fundament Health, Dr. Fairfax empowers patients to take ownership of their health—proactively, confidently, and with long-term vitality in mind.
