A local doctor who also enjoys being a Villages entertainer will be featured on an upcoming PBS health series titled “Innovations in Medicine.”
Dr. Kristin Miller, who lives in the Village of Pinellas, has been a resident of Florida’s Friendliest Hometown since retiring from patient care six years ago. She has continued to review medical studies and actively participate in webinars. And she currently works with a nonprofit organization focused on supporting evidence-based functional medicine education to practitioners and the public.
Miller was chosen to be featured as the functional medicine specialist in the PBS series and was flown to Los Angeles for filming earlier this month. She also was filmed to be featured in a PBS documentary.
Miller said her goal is for people to be empowered with education about how to maintain their health and be optimally well at any age – not to simply know what to do when they are sick. She said it doesn’t replace the need to have regular care with their doctors, but it does help people be better informed about how the body works so they can stay as well as possible.
As a fellowship-trained, board-certified physician in anti-aging and regenerative and functional medicine, Miller is one of the first 500 physicians in the world to complete the Advanced Fellowship in Anti-Aging Metabolic and Functional Medicine. She is a diplomat of both the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
In her spare time when Miller isn’t involved in the world of medicine, she thoroughly enjoys performing, singing and acting with Music in Motion in the group’s yearly productions at the Savannah Center.
