A Note from Dr. Amanda Scott

I started Santa Barbara Lifestyle Medicine to provide the guidance and coaching you need to make meaningful lifestyle changes that benefit not just your medical health, but your overall wellness. My extensive medical knowledge, combined with my experience in various clinical settings, allows me to offer a compassionate, patient-centered approach, ensuring you feel truly heard and supported on your wellness journey.

With over a decade of experience in primary care, I am passionate about helping my patients achieve their health goals through personalized, evidence-based lifestyle medicine. I have a deep understanding of our current medical system and recognize the tremendous potential for improvement through lifestyle changes. However, I know that this requires time and an individualized approach, which is often difficult to achieve in traditional medical visits.

I believe in addressing the root causes of common medical problems through natural, sustainable changes. Together, we can create a plan that helps you thrive, not just survive.

Where to Begin

Schedule a Free Meet and Greet

This is a 30 minute visit to connect (either in-person, or virtually). At this visit you will briefly discuss your health goals and learn about how you can use the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine to improve your health and well-being. It is at this time you will decide if you would like to schedule a consultation.

 Create a Personalized Health Plan

Work directly with Dr. Scott during a 60-90 minute consultation. This detailed visit allows Dr. Scott to fully evaluate your medical history, evaluate and prioritize your personal health and wellness goals. At the end of this visit, you will determine the right plan for you. Depending on the plan you choose, you will then have frequent follow up visits, direct access to Dr. Scott’s feedback and ongoing support, focusing on the pillars of lifestyle medicine. Cost of the consultation is $375.

 Thrive with Ongoing Support

After the consultation, you will decide the plan that is right for you and move forward with confidence as you work toward your health goals, knowing you have support every step of the way. There are two plans which will be reviewed at the time of your consultation. In addition, if a plan does not seem to fit your personal needs, you can discuss options that are outside of the plans offered. The cost of plans can be discussed in the meet and greet.

“Dr. Scott has made a huge impact on my health and well being. I honestly trust her with my life. She was the first to help diagnose my cancer, and because of early detection, I’m now cancer free. Dr. Scott also coordinated a large group of medical professionals to help me get through a rare parasitic disease that I caught in Belize. The biopsy was ultimately identified by UCLA and the CDC. Dr. Scott takes the time to get to the source of your medical issues where many doctors simply treat just the current symptoms you have. She has all the best resources anyone would ever need. She’s the very best in every way."

“Dr. Scott is more than a competent doctor. She is one of the most caring practitioners that has the unique ability to focus on both the medical issue as well as the whole personal”

Michael M.

Dr. Scott is amazing! Her expertise and compassion make me feel truly cared for. She takes the time to listen and explain everything clearly. I'm so grateful to have found such an exceptional and relatable doctor!

 Laura M.

Dr. Scott understood me, I felt respected. She listened and answered my questions, explained in detail my condition well and she took her time during my medical visits. I totally trusted Dr. Scott’s medical decisions.

Kahina R.

“Dr. Scott made me feel comfortable at the onset of our physician-patient relationship. She is an honest and professional practitioner. She communicates with a neutral yet supportive tone. She actually listens to any/all of my concerns, regardless of how trivial I may view them, and addresses them thoroughly so I feel empowered about my health. And finally she is someone that I would want to have on my “proactive side of health” for the rest of my time on this earth. What an immense asset she is to this community and I can’t wait to see what is in store for her in this new chapter of medical practice!”
