Joshua Rosenthal, M.D. is a Board Certified Sleep and Regenerative Medicine Specialist. In his dedication to understanding true health and wellness, he had to unlearn the current model of healthcare’s approach to holding off disease. After using light and circadian biology to successfully treat his own weight and health issues, he continued studying biophysics and discovered why healthcare is failing miserably at helping the population who is increasingly getting sick and staying sick. By integrating his expertise of circadian biology, mitochondrial medicine, and photobiomodulation, he now helps clients rebuild their mind and body health at the cellular and subcellular levels.

Dr. Josh does advanced, regenerative therapies and one-on-one integrative medical programs with clients in New York, Florida and Pennsylvania. Attacking the subcellular root cause, his unique MitoCircadian approach recreates optimal health by resetting the body’s clock, improving the environmental terrain, and repairing the bioenergetics for an integrative wellness approach. He performs innovative and transformative mitochondrial therapies alongside his lifestyle, nutraceutical and electroceutical approaches for health and longevity.
